I have made a peace offer to James on [[User talk:Jtdirl]]. I publicly apologize for calling James a bully, that was not justified by his recent actions, as what I perceived as bully-like behavior seems to be more of a personal conflict between the two of us over several different matters, whereas both of us get along fine with other users. I guess that's what happens when large egos collide ;-)
I will not bring up the idea of initiating a ban procedure again provided there will be no further personal attacks on either part. I have also made a suggestion for cooperating on the [[Mother Teresa]] article.
I hope this will cool down this flamewar somewhat.
Regards,
Erik

This is exactly the sort of classy and eloquent (sorry, couldn't resist an easy pun) reaction that I would expect from someone so mature and invested in the project. If everyone involved in disputes behaved this way, I'm sure things would go a lot smoother. Kudos, Erik, kudos.
