After leaving a message on 172's user talk page about Jimbo wanting him to 
join the mailing list, he and I had a conversation (argument really) about 
his contributions and disruptiveness. 

During the early part of the discussion he re-inserted  'virulent and deviant" 
back in the Pol Pot article in the section that talks about his political 
views (an edit war was started over this before). I then stated on talk:Pol 
Pot: 

  Either choose more neutral sounding 
  adjectives or use as few adjectives as 
  possible. Words like "virulent" and "deviant", 
  while possibly true in an objective sense, still 
  do evoke an emotional response in the reader 
  which is far from NPOV. --mav 

He responded by changing the text to read: "radically revised"

In addition, he surprised me by actually apologizing for adding the suggestive 
words and in other places he promised he would try to be less disruptive in 
the future (not his exact words, but that was my impression).
