This is my last post about Lir today, and I hope my last one ever.

I've been trying to stay away from controversies here, but at the risk of alienation, I have to agree with Jonathan on this one. Note that I was not around when this whole Lir thing got started and haven't read the historical context.
Jonathan is not a reliable source for anything related to policy. He's just one or two steps away from being banned himself.
The problem with Adam is that he refuses, consistently, to acknowledge his behavioral problems, the problems that led him to being banned in the first place. This latest episode is just the last straw. He was asked to talk about why he behaved the way he did. He could have apologized, but chose instead to obscure the issue by blathering about inconsequentials.
What he wants to do here is lead people into the belief that he was banned for reasons having to do with detailed discussion of complex questions of NPOV. That's not true at all. He was banned for calling people racists and generally behaving badly, as well as for extremely low quality and POV edits on a great many subjects.
And now it's all over, so we can get back to work.
