This has been tried to a great extent by myself and several others. 24 doesn't seem to care about our standards and way of doing things and in fact wants to change the fundamental character of the project. Some of us don't care for this attitude at all and are now trying to clean up his mess.

With that being said, and since 24's submits are far fewer, I do think if we tone down our rhetoric, try to politely edit his/her work, and have Jimbo or maybee yourself continue to try and reach out to this character, maybee, just maybee he/she will reform. Perhaps this person is a bit aloof and did overreact after seeing our reaction. But then, I allways tend to give people more credit than they sometimes deserve after I am able to emotionally detach myself from this issue a bit.

Cheers!
