Ah yes. A new girlfriend can be distracting.

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?
