My vow of no conflict is still in place. I've got a short list of people whose presence in an article means my absence from it. Vera Cruz and Lir are both on it. It will be watchful waiting for me, but at the moment I am still cringing from this person's previous incarnations. What has this person acknowledged about past behavior, after apparently weeks of private discussion with Jimbo and now Ed Poor, that would make anyone want to see this person back?
