Hi SilkTork, I'm sorry to see that you've pulled out of dispute resolution although you're probably wise in managing your ulcers! I hope this problem will merit your attention.
I think that Rkitko felt the arbitration talks which you managed had fizzled out, and he returned to his former habit of following my contributions and changing them to his interpretation of the MoS. Even worse, he made an ANI out of it and stirred up a whole lot of editors who had nothing better to do. My attempt at reverting the edits got me a 24-hour block for "edit warring". I feel pretty bitter about this, since I follow my old policy of not changing the layout of any article I did not start. However, some editors are not interested in extending the same courtesy. I now find that Rkitko and a few of his symphatisers are altering articles before I've even finished writing them and riding roughshod over 'in use' templates - see the latest article ] which I started last night and has already come in for a fair amount of hacking-about. I really am at a loss and would welcome some positive input. ciao ] (]) 12:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

"I will listen to you, especially when we disagree."
Barack Obama Welcome!!! Pull up a chair, let's have a nice chat. I'm glad you called. I'll put the kettle on.
SilkTork My Wiki activity has reduced. I am no longer involved in any content dispute resolution matters, I have cut back my involvement in WikiProjects, editing guidelines and essays, RfA, AfD, GAN, etc. I will bumble along with various random editing and random involvement in Wiki matters.
Though I will consider requests for my attention, I may turn down requests if they look too chewy!
