Ah yes. A new girlfriend can be distracting.

I think your perception is somewhat distorted due to your over-involvement in this particular issue, an issue I haven't had a lot of interest in or time for although I do believe you over-emphasised the negative aspects in your article. As to Jtdirl I have had experience with him, been denounced as a right wing bigot, etc and certainly would support banning him for ugly behavior despite being right on Mother Teresa.
I too have had experience with JT -- if and when he actually admits to seeing someone elses point of view, it will be when things tone down.
I think part of this is, Erik -- that you have a reputation to protect -- youre generally a moderate-toned person with an almost universal respect from the community -- this kind of thing is an obstacle when edit warring with JT. You need to roll around in the dirt, basically -- and then you might get a point or two accross. Being a sysop and a devor, you would jeopardise your status here if you told people what you actually think -- which is frustrating, since whats the point, if you can speak your mind, eh?
