- What's going on?
- Sarner was previoulsy banned for a while from editing the Bowlby page. He is now beginning again to be disruptive on that page and the Candace Newmaker article. He continually reverts the articles from the consensus views to his and ignores repeated requests by me, and other editors, to consider using Misplaced Pages dispute resolution processes such as dialogue, polls, or mediation. He clearly will only accept his view, despite being the only voice there. His reverts are disruptive and irritating. Furthermore, the dispute is the same one he was banned for previously.
On the Candace Newmaker he is doing the same thing, but there he has a clear vested interest. He wants all references to Advocates for Children in Therapy removed from the article...but he is the Executive Director of that group and the author of one of the books cited on the Candace Newmaker page as a reference (which is fine, because the reference provides data that meets the Misplaced Pages verifiable standard).
If you could intervene...or tell me what would be the most appropriate steps for me to follow at this point, I'd really appreciate it.
- I support this request. I find it very irritating that Mr. Sarner is acting like a bully and not following Misplaced Pages policy and practice regarding resolving disputes. RalphLender 16:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- I support this request. I find that Sarner is not following Misplaced Pages practices regarding dispute resolution and that he is acting against what appears to be a general consensus on the pages here. MarkWood 13:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- He was blocked on the Bowlby page and has started with the same issues again and the same uncivil and disrespectful behavior. He is not following dispute resolution procedures or policies.
- What would you like to change about that?
- Have Sarner either follow Misplaced Pages policy and abide by a poll, or request mediation and abide by the results of that...or be banned again, but from both pages.
- Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
- No...contact me on my talk page is fine.
