he is angry...very angry... so angry it will be spilling out all over. Does he deserve a ban and renunciation for some of the things he said the last few days: yes. Will it happen? For his own good: I think he could benefit from it and a little more time away. However the world works on how many friends you have; not laws and he has a great number of friends and they may love the hell out of him but it seems a disservice to enable him to be as abusive as he wants to whoever he wants. This is a volunteer endeavor and peace of mind and health are more important. I'm not sure what if any of this I should say to him or in there.

1513: 856: 1004:? You also restored a verbose and unbalanced section on membership requirements. Your input on a Lewis works in Scotland, but I can personally assure you has no bearing on the practice in UGLE. In a broader perspective, the article needs restructured and slimmed down to a point where enhancement is less confusing. In other words, simplify and let the specialised articles do the details.

Based on past user discussions, the montage was put up with just 2 people deciding what goes on the main article about the capital city of the second largest country in the world. I made a change which made the article better, and if you would call that 'vandalism' then I doubt how well you are 'contributing' or should I say dictating the content.

This issue is larger than simply the editor to hand but I must ask; Do we honestly think the allowance of continued incivility for the sake of one good editor is worth losing however many potential new editors are driven off by this behaviour?” 403:

Hi Alatary - thanks for your comments in the discussion surrounding OrangeMarlin. " Thompsma needed to just rewrite the section and put it up for all to review instead of spending 1000's of words just talking about a potential change." - You are absolutely right. I realize my mistake. I make mistakes

I’m optimistic that the thread will be closed with more than just a warning for OM, so it probably isn’t essential that you express your opinion about this there. There’s one way in which that would be helpful, though, which is just that the thread is so unpleasant that I’d really like it to reach a

Change comes sometimes from hitting a bottom and having to crawl the way back out. OM earned a warning just from this ANI and maybe he will get a ban. I tell you this: He has just had major heart surgery and he is possibly looking at spending the rest of his life at greatly diminished capacity and

I know in situations like this one, a lot of people feel like the harm done by someone’s personal attacks needs to be weighed against the value of their content contributions, but thinking of it that way overlooks something important. When an editor is acting this way, it often isn’t easy to see how

I read through the discussion and even did a page search for the word 'obligations' and reviewed the Membership discussion and did not see the discussion on the Major Overhaul. On a topic this notable I don't consider 3 people a consensus. Freemasonry is a very old topic and the pages content will

You may turn out to be right that it could be implementable. But I think that, given that the very issue is currently at ArbCom, a bold move would be bad etiquette. More to the point, it is likely to get editors' backs up so that the idea is less likely to find consensus. I think proposing the idea

After I put forth the effort to find this tool for you, is it too much to ask that you use it correctly? The raw list of pages edited by both users includes pages that they edited months or years apart. I mentioned this at AN/I, but you haven’t acknowledged my response. It’s rather poor form for

Edits to Delhi. I removed the montage on the page because 1) it was not representative and biased, and 2) irrelevant. I do not understand your comment about 'extensive' sourced information. Those were just photos of a few random places in the city some of which may be relevant and others are not.

Thanks for getting back to me. As I said in response to you at AN/I, my issue with OM isn’t a personal one, but I’m upset about his behavior because of what I think it represents. Something I think you should understand about me is that there’s one thing I hate about Knowledge (XXG) more than

I had planned this last week before the Arbcom and I had the idea for something to warn Muslims back in 2010 during the Everybody Draw Muhammad event but didn't know how to do it. I would think it would be a compromise position that all could settle on now that there is an ArbCom.

Hi Alatari. This is the type of idea you should raise in the first instance on the article talkpage. If you're planning on launching it as a nice surprise whilst there's an Arbcom case ongoing, don't be surprised by the drama that will cause. You will find the info you are after at

Thank you for the "thanks" on the Henry article. I have a few magazines that I go through every month looking for references and one came up. It's nice to see another "computer old timer" here on WP. I still have my Apple IIc and occasionally have a bad dream about FORTRAN... :)
