Nice quote from User:Xoloz:
In any event, I treat Wikipedia as a quasi-professional endeavor. Though there are many editors here I like and respect, ultimately, this project is work: I don't edit to make friends or enemies, but because I believe in the principle of open scholarship available to any reader. I also believe it is especially important to show every kindness to new editors: whatever their reason for being here initially, I know that they can be won over to Wikipedia's noble mission, if someone takes the time calmly to familiarize them with our policies and standards. In almost every situation, friendly discussion is the key to resolving conflict; whenever that (rarely) fails, the solution is to consult others (informally, or through mediation processes.) If I can't find a way to have a friendly discussion with a particular individual, someone can, and I will leave the matter in the hands of that person, who is in a better to position to judge any difficulty.[2]
If no laws in Raul's laws ring true, then You haven't edited Wikipedia enough. -feydey
