I'd like to draw attention to the behaviour of [[User:Toby Bartels]], in using [[Talk:Lubos Motl]] to pursue an agenda I have no sympathy with.
Lubos Motl as [[User:Lumidek]] has been posting highly competent string theory articles; he is a high-flying academic in the field. Toby obviously has some beefs to do with off-WP matters that I really think are quite irrelevant. I have been pursuing private email with Lubos and Toby, in an attempt to make Lubos the Wikipedian feel less unwelcome, in the context that Toby the long-established Wikipedian has written some fairly nasty stuff about him (in ignorance, it is true, but it is hardly excusable behaviour anyway).
Now Toby seems to want to pursue this, by reverts on [[Talk:Lubos Motl]], a back-handed apology on [[User talk:Lumidek]], and [[User talk:Charles Matthews]].
Ironic is not really strong enough for how I felt at spending WP-gets-Community-Webby-Day emailing, trying to put a bandage on this damaging stuff. I'd be very grateful if someone could talk some sense into Toby Bartels. I'm actually incandescent, that he can so clearly put personal gripes ahead of the needs of the project.
