Hi,
I really need a mediator to deal with the editing disagreements between me and Sam Spade. I requested mediation some time ago.
Here is Sam Spade's latest:
"First your spurious accusation of plagiarism, and now you accuse me of vandalism. This, combined with dozens of other ugly statements on your part seem to be leading up to a rather damining arbcom case. I suggest you chill the fuck out. [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade]] 15:34, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)"
After I pointed out an obvious case of plagiarism by him on the [[Political Correctness]] page he seemed to start following me around Wiki provoking confrontations. His most recent effort was pasting a entire old contested section back into the [[Fascism]] article--complete with duplicate sentences and much duplicated material. When this was pointed out, he suggested it was the job of the other editors to find the duplicate material and delete it. This is vandalism.
Please help. I know some people value Sam Spade as an editor, but my experience is that when he does not get his way, he becomes a bully, promoting a very POV right-wing bias. I am on the political left, but do try to edit here on Wiki in an NPOV way. A centrist mediator would be best to divide out what is political disagreement and what is personal antagonism.
So I am resorting to this list in an effort to find an unbiased mediator.

Drop by [[WP:MC]] if you want to see list of current mediators or go to [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal]] for and give a quick summary to draw some attention of other people interested in mediating disputes.

Thats what I have collected so far. Its a useful example for interested parties, as well as a groundwork for potential mediators.
