Since I posted this as an update to my comments in the RFC in question, I thought I'd do it here too:

I have to start by apologizing for the tone of my earlier piece; whatever my beliefs may be about other editors, pursuing grudges in a nasty way is not the best of human behavior, and I need to always remember to assume good faith. Also, I don't always understand all of the facts behind complex disputes, so sometimes I may be mistaken, as Cla68 seems to have been regarding several of his own actions here. I think his putting of Weiss up for deletion was a silly move; although the policy at the time might be readable to cover it, deleting an article about a notable person just because there have been possible conflicts of interest in its past editing doesn't seem to be the best practice. I'll try to assume good faith about everyone involved, as much as possible, and hope they'll do the same and not overreact to anybody else's actions that seem to resemble or recall those of a hated troll. *Dan T.* 22:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC) (P.S.: Is Gary Weiss any relation to investment newsletter publisher Martin Weiss? Before getting into this whole controversy here, I'd heard of the latter, but not the former.)
