Re: [WikiEN-l] Crying Wolf

I looked at the last comments that RK said he removed from his talk page. Although the one from E of T was a bit inflammatory, it seemed to be a response to one of Roberts own "attacks" -- I infer a typically one-sided and less than tactful comment he made about someone else's work. If my inference or characterization are incorrect, I apologise. The comment made by Pizza Puzzle may have been *personally* offensive to Robert, but it is simply a statement of PP's own opinion on the situation. I may not be popular, but he is entitled to it. Presumably user talk pages are meant to be places where we communicate with each other in public -- so I don't see why there is a problem. If RK doesn't like a comment, he can erase it -- as he did -- but it's a pain in the arse to have to look it up in the history. I have to disagree with Jtdirl on his comment, which was, to say the least, pointed. But my disagreement is less that RK is phobic of Arabs, but instead is overly sensitive, perhaps even paranoid, about anything that isn't vehemently pro-Israeli/pro-Zionist. I am sorry if this causes anyone pain, but over the past couple of years, I can't even begin to count the occasions where the accusation of Anti-Semitiem has been put forth when someone sees any relevant situation in anything but black and white. I'm just not sure I understand the need to accuse people of trolling or otherwise whenever there is a disagreement. It is getting very old and tired, and frankly, it pisses me off. One of the reasons I stoppped contributing and only occasionally maintain the odd article is because a couple of *real* trolls began to attack me and to attack my work and my reputation by dropping truly nasty comments about me on pages all over the 'pedia. Not much was done, although many people left me supportive comments. Zoe was also trolled out, and others have been, too. RK's most recent accusations of trolling are just not in the same league.
