I hope SPUI will be back; he doesn't play well with others, but he is a fountain of knowledge about what he's interested in. I also don't particularly like the way I've seen people justify dismissing him as a 'troll' and thus unworthy of respect.
The major problem with SPUI is that he is utterly convinced that he is right. This is fine as long as he is, it is unambiguous, and he can prove it. As you say, he does not play well with others.
Tony - well, I'll be circumspect about that case, but - Tony is not good at defusing tense situations, and he's demonstrated that repeatedly.
I'm not very good at defusing tense situations either. But I tend not to try. Tony is, on the other hand, possessed of pretty good instincts in respect of content and has a long history of spotting and correcting obvious errors in the deletion process.
