This may partially result from 172 attempting to do too much, editing and
watching more articles than he has time to properly attend to. Proper
attending to an article including the time and willingness to take time to
discuss the article with others and accomodate others views in a graceful
way. This was definitely a part of what we ran into with Wik.
Thus dispute resolution tends to be shortcutted with reverts and treats of
reverts taking the place of discussion and research.

Treating the topic as a personal afront appears to be 172's strategy in
every interaction. One is left with one of two reactions: bewildered shock
that one has inadvertently caused offense, or suspicion that 172 is
acting in bad faith. I have offered evidence in my previous email why I
embrace the latter interpretation, but here's one more example:
172 complains that he doesn't have the time to make certain changes in the
article under discussion, & that the article isn't important enough for him
to make them. Mav offers to do the work, & 172's response is to find offense.
I haven't written further about the matters of my earlier email to allow
172 time to respond to my accusations, but he has not seen fit to answer
them, let alone acknowledge them. I assume that a lack of answer indicates
his tacit consent to my charges.
