[WikiEN-l] [Foundation-l] Trouble in Ireland

[Puppy (KillerChihuahua)]

We could call them both Eyre (Papist) and Eyre (Damned) and annoy 
everyone even more thoroughly, although I sincerely doubt anything will 
work in the opposite direction and calm the situation. Someone said at 
the beginning of this that this is one of those longstanding 
disagreements; I concur it will not be easily or even perhaps ever 
resolved. Take it back to the 'pedia, via talk pages and dispute 
resolution, as whatever happens on this list it cannot by definition 
resolve any content dispute on wiki.

One puppy's opinion.
