I'm going to wait about a week for him to calm down before writing to him again. But if anyone has their own conciliatory words to send to him, I confirmed his e-mail: corvus13@hotmail.com.
Can someone give me a brief resume (by private email if you don't want to stir old coals) as to what happened.

Here's my POV. He seems to be an advocate of [[Crystallomancy]]. He was adding sections to gem and mineral pages that relayed interesting folklore facts. He was clearly marking them folklore, but his writing style started as non-NPOV. He toned it down, but MichaelTinkler was making (quite valid) criticisms about capitalization and writing style. That seems to have set him off. He took it personally. He also took offense that Michael would question whether the contributions were copyrighted. (Corvus13 said his material was original.)
