I have decided not to deal with Vera Cruz, ceding to he she or it any article he she or it wants to work on, on the grounds that life is too short to waste fighting him her or it and then literally losing sleep over afterwards. He she or it is a pure troll, as anyone with eyes can see.
Look at what he she or it has contributed to [[Talk:Isaac Asimov]], dragging people into debates over pointless subjects, subtly shifting ground from one tiny truism to another while everyone else fumes, engaging in look-at-me-I'm-horrible ploys, and generally poisoning the well. So I don't want to drink from it.
eek! That was an edit was I hope to forget. It was impressive the way Vera managed to shift the focus each time.
Her his its latest triumph is to drive the earnest but hapless 172 from the [[New Imperialism]] article, which I had quit in frustration several weeks back.
There's been criticism of 172, but I thought his/her suggestion on [[Talk:New Imperialism]] for both 172 and Vera to stop work on the article was made in good faith. It's a pity that vera Cruz misunderstood -- wilfully or not I don't know. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and got dragged into get more incomprehensible debate. I can never work out if Vera does this deliberately, or has some sort of behavioural problem. Either way, I'm fed up. I suport a ban.
