Ed, a process for dealing with such conflicts is evolving and it is called the Arbitration Committee. Such matters aren't tackled on an ad hoc manner on the ML anymore.

Eh, what's that, sonny? Speak up, so dear old Uncle Ed can hear you; I'm getting hard of hearing and forgetful in my old age. ;-)

In the last six months, the conflict-resolution process has changed faster than I can keep up with it. Clearly the days are gone when I was counted on as a sort of second-to-last resort to take bold action when the committees were taking endless amounts of time to consider an issue and getting nowhere. But what happened to quickpolls? By the time I finally figured out how they worked, and was ready to submit a case, I was told they no longer existed.

Help a poor old man cross this street, and you're sure to win a merit badge!
