<DIV><FONT size=2>I initiated this thread, solely for the purpose of clearing up
a quote of mine being used out of context. I named no names, and laid no blame.
I felt misrepresented by the quote, and wanted to clarify my position, not spark
a conflict.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, I was probably in error for writing the original post
to Wikipedia-L, for which I apologise. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now I am saying - can we drop it completely? Wikipedia-L is
really not a forum for sorting out personal disputes, or criticising
individuals. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you want to criticise a decision, or an action, or an
article, or discuss a policy, count me in. But I find expressing contempt for
any individual, for any reason, to be unacceptable in this forum.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm not trying to offend anyone by this, and I truly hope no
offence is taken.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Let's just build the 'pedia.</FONT></DIV>
