Is he going to get to continue to mess up article after article and call people names forever because nobody wants to do anything about him? It's still the *mediation* process at this point. We are still attempting to persuade him to try mediation - if that fails then I guess we will have to pass this over to the arbitration committee. This is where my pessimism starts rising.

RickK wrote: it already? It has. Teresa has invited MrMH to take part in a mediation (with admirable politeness). He refused and so Jussi-Ville Heiskanen approached him as a member of the mediation committee. He hasn't yet responded directly to that approach (although he may have indirectly). Let's give him a little time to respond - then we will look at what needs to be done next (for example if he responds positively a mediator will have to be agreed and so on). Regards sannse

And it appears you have the hard part of the bargain, because all I have to do is watch and decide if I will make quality contributions that advance human understanding or if I will battle this collectivity to my last breath because I have found it to be a dangerous authoritarian cult. + +If you don't like being pushed around and feel you have the moral high ground, I know how you feel. Because I am absolutely confident of my stern approach, am completely fatigued of a mealy mouthed lies from educators who are trying to make knowledge a trade secret, and I have little to loose and everything to gain by fighting with all of my might wherever the battle might present. Interesting rant. Sounds like he's on the right side, for the most part, but is too fanatical to help, and is attacking allies. He needs to find a better target. I've seen this before, and most of the time they're too paranoid and blinded by their own certainty to be brought around. More patient people are welcome to try to reform him on their own, but I think we're best off just shutting him down. -- Jake
