I spoke by telephone to Jack Sarfatti twice today and have been talking with Phroziac by instant message. Here is the extent of my interventions, for community review: 1. I unblocked his [[user:JackSarfatti]] account. 2. I unblocked the [[Jack Sarfatti]] article. 3. I tried (twice) to tone done the anti-Sarfatti rhetoric there, but have given up for the day. 4. I marked up with HTML strikeout the message on Jack's user talk page which threatened legal action against Wikipedia; he told me over the phone that I could delete it. 5. I suggested to Jack that he confine his wiki activity to the [[talk:Jack Sarfatti]] page - rather than trying to edit the article directly. He is a newbie. He does not know the rules. He didn't know that users aren't allowed to delete other users' talk page comments, for example. This sort of thing is going to happen more and more, now that Wikipedia is the 45th most popular web site (and has 750,000 articles in the English edition). Let's treat the public right. Uncle Ed
