[WikiEN-l] French monarchs and other unsavory characters

[Karim Moussally]

OK, I've been going through the gory details over at List of French 
monarchs and Clovis I (the talk pages). It seems to me that whatever the 
case may be, Triton is being deliberately confrontational... and not in a 
good way. He is consistently abusive and uses language that I believe is 
designed to worsen, not better, the situation. A few choice examples:

We now have someone calling themselves Slrubenstein reverting my facts. Why 
is this vandalism going on?

To the User logged in calling himself Tannin - refrain from accusations 
unless you have proof.

And by the way, Ms. Kemp, don't even infer plagiarism, you are far from 
qualified in law

Don't you think it a bit childish, besides dishonest, to insert "Belgium" 
after deleting Toxandria. Or did you not study any of this but decided to 
hide it from others?

Act like an adult, behave like the professional you claim to be, and please 
correct your improper deletions. And, I will indeed ask Jimbo Wales to look 
at your deletions, assertions and derogatory remarks about other erstwhile 
contributors to his website

you have deleted facts straight from the James book which you obviously 
never read. I shall reverse your attempts to distort and cover up.

As an aside, Ms. Kemp intimidated some of these people who either now say 
nothing or have left.

*****
In my opinion, this is not the language of a person who is seriously 
engaged in a scholarly dispute in an attempt to arrive at factual 
conclusions. It has been my experience that ad hominem attacks are 
typically made by people who do not have a logical or reasonable argument 
to make. I suggest that someone please look into this matter seriously.

Please note that I know very little about French monarchy, I'm dealing here 
with what I see as an abusive user, whether or not his idea(s) about French 
monarchy are valid.
