So, regardless of that particular situation, ( I think Robert had a point) you should never feel intimidated or forced into positions that require you to compromise your dignity. Those who make attempts to cause you feel that way are to be looked upon with some distaste, if not moderated by sanction.

I'll be frank Steve.
RK has the intend to merge all Gaia article into only one, then to keep only what is scientific in the article (ie Margulis and Lovelock), and to avoid the accusation of text destruction, he intends either * to create again some new articles where he would put what he considers old and irrelevant stuff (such as Gaia theories (precedents) - making the claim unification in one article in the only way, a joke * to disperse every old and irrelevant stuff to other articles where frankly they will get lost (such as the non scientific view of these theories)
I think it is wrong for all the reasons I have previously mentionned. Gaia theories is not only about science, and it is not because a theory was set more than 50 years ago that it is irrelevant.
I notice you mention RK has a point. But which point do you mean ? Do you think he has a point when suggesting to delete and redirect the Gaia Hypothesis article ? Do you think he has a point in removing everything that it out of scientific acceptance ? That is a very different point.
I am very strongly against the second. I don't think either that RK and I will ever solve that disagreement because RK decided that any real discussion with me was useless.
I would have appreciated that someone help us decide what to do and given good arguments that would make weight. Because all what I offered is just not listened too. And all what I get in terms of discussion is bullshit. Sample : the last email RK sent and http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Gaia_theory&diff=0&...
Now, since no discussion is humanly possible between the two of us, and if no one is helping us here, we will just enter in an ugly cycle of edition/reversion till one dies or go on holiday (after which point we can resume).
This is a very sad way to spent time. But so be it.
