Since I posted this as an update to my comments in the RFC in 
question, I thought I'd do it here too:

I have to start by apologizing for the tone of my earlier piece; 
whatever my beliefs may be about other editors, pursuing grudges in a 
nasty way is not the best of human behavior, and I need to always 
remember to assume good faith. Also, I don't always understand all of 
the facts behind complex disputes, so sometimes I may be mistaken, as 
Cla68 seems to have been regarding several of his own actions here. I 
think his putting of Weiss up for deletion was a silly move; although 
the policy at the time might be readable to cover it, deleting an 
article about a notable person just because there have been possible 
conflicts of interest in its past editing doesn't seem to be the best 
practice. I'll try to assume good faith about everyone involved, as 
much as possible, and hope they'll do the same and not overreact to 
anybody else's actions that seem to resemble or recall those of a 
hated troll. *Dan T.* 22:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC) (P.S.: Is Gary Weiss 
any relation to investment newsletter publisher Martin Weiss? Before 
getting into this whole controversy here, I'd heard of the latter, 
but not the former.)
