Hoi,
I am blissfully unaware of all the ins and outs of the quarrels at the 
nl.wikipedia. The issue at hand is the use of names. That is what I had 
a look at and frankly it was not a surprise to see Muijz as one of the 
parties in this. He has his reputation and he lives up to this 
reputation. The part of the discussion I read was on the use of real 
names, I believe you where you say that there is a history to it. It 
does not change the issue; it shows lack of civility to name names on 
Wikipedia.

Thanks,
