Yeah. Not as much fun.
Cool. Was there any particular reason you should stay on this list?
To keep an eye on you, for one thing, now that I've looked back at the link given.
You could do that from the web archive. Is there any reason you can think of to allow you to continue to trash-talk other editors on this list for "fun" rather than work on sorting out your problems with them just as if you're trying to write an encyclopedia?

Thanks. I might ask the same of yourself. You don't seem to have looked at the efforts I've repeatedly made. What value are you adding here beyond amusing yourself yet again?

As a list admin, suggesting you cut with the trash-talking and personal attacks. HTH!

Cripes. I can't win here. I complain of a serial abuser and get accused of doing the same thing by a bored admin. Are you saying I should just cop it sweet?
I might make the occasional smart-arse comment and be a bit of a nit-picker on things I know about, but I don't deserve continued harassment and what looks to me like a thinly disguised death threat from an editor who should know better. I got told months ago that "he's like that to everyone", and while that was a comfort to me personally, I have to wonder about what sort of environment we are supporting here.
I really don't mind if people have opposing opinions to mine and express them forcefully. More power to their strong right arm, I say. Eventually the facts emerge and we come to a consensus. And often I learn something along the way. Heaven forbid I should regard myself as incapable of error!
But I don't hold with being bullied and threatened. Look, David, I know I might be a pain in the bum now and then, but can you see how it looks from where I'm standing?

Fair enough, and sorry for snapping. But saying it was more "fun" really made me wonder what was up with this.
(I've already said I'd recuse if it came to arbitration, because even though the AC bends over backwards to avoid content issues I've already stated loudly I think you're dead wrong ;-)
