<P> The two users finally had enough and confronted the orc in its lair . Unfortunately, they had brought torches and pitchforks with them and things got messy (i.e. the conversation became really ugly). So the users took it to the village court . They tried to convince the leaders to slay, or at least cripple, the WikiOrc so that it could not harm another editor . Alas, the savage orc showed up and ravaged the discussion with its deadly club . </P> <P> The two friends returned to the orc's domain and confronted it angrily once more . The orc continued to be boorish and aggressive and refused to believe that it is at fault . Even when the editors told it that if it did not stop, the village leaders will send a mob to destroy it, the orc still saw the editors as the ones at fault . The fight soon escalated to the point that both sides were throwing flames about the cavern . </P> <P> Meanwhile, the third friend was going for a stroll in the forest of articles when she decided to visit one of her friends . She arrived at his house and was horrified to find the hideous message left by the orc . So she decided to head to the orc's lair at once . She arrived in time to see the chaos happening . She also saw an angry mob in the distance . Knowing that such violence would solve nothing, she stepped in, and tried to reason with the orc . The fire died down, but the orc remained unmoved . The mob had arrived at the orc's doorstep . The orc, undaunted, scoffed and called the village leaders "pathetic". The third friend, still hopeful for the orc, gently chided it and showed it how to speak properly . </P> <P> But instead of thanking her and changing its ways, the orc angrily slapped her in the face and ordered her out of its cave . This caused the editor to lose whatever sympathy for the orc she had left . She got up and just before she left the cave, quietly warned it again of the danger of its behavior . The orc, more softly this time, simply told her to leave again . Silently, the three friends walked down the path, leaving the mob to go ever closer to the orc . All agreed that nothing they do or say will make the orc mend its ways . </P>
