Involved parties

Statement by AMA advocate of party 1

Statement by Neigel von Teighen official AMA advocate of User:Researcher99 (see )

User:Researcher99 has been attacked constantly by User:Nereocystis in many polygamy related articles, but specially in Polygamy and in Talk:Polygamy with abusive behaivor including POV warring, unexplaine reversions and constant ad hominem attacks in his posts. Although all tries to solve the dispute through RfC (started by the other party), official mediation (started by us), Nereocystis has shown no intention to solve the dispute in a civil manner, so we request this arbitration to stop this abuse against Researcher. --Neigel von Teighen 15:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Please see: Polygamy Dispute Background for a better understanding of the polygamy topic, anti-polygamists, and this dispute.


Nereocystis is a proven anti-polygamist. No one who "support(s) the legalization of polygamy," would do what Nereocystis has done. In every way, Nereocystis misrepresents me and the real dispute. This dispute is not about me as a "Christian polygamist" POV editor or about "link spamming." This is about Nereocystis's hostile anti-polygamy agenda to game the Misplaced Pages process system to abuse me, so that anti-polygamists can freely sabotage the polygamy articles.

When I first encountered Nereocystis, I sincerely tried to accommodate their input. I also tried sincere accommodation with Ghostintheshell when they arrived in April. Identically, both refused any accommodation I offered, demanded sources when I did, obfuscated sources I cited, claimed I "refused" to TALK when I clearly sought STATUS QUO in order to TALK, used the announcement method, and did not know the polygamy topic. For these reasons, I believe that Ghostintheshell is simply Nereocystis or are anti-polygamists working together.

I have very much offered and proposed a number of ways to genuinely solve issues.

Nereocystis has never offered/proposed even one resolution of their own to try to accommodate and work with me.

For that reason, they may have been unqualified to have so prematurely filed the "3rd Opinion" (here) and an "RfC" (here).

Rather than offer any of their own resolutions, Nereocystis perpetrated a very calculated and sophisticated exploitation of the Misplaced Pages process. (While I am a simple content editor, Nereocystis is a Misplaced Pages process expert.) As this June 6, 2005 post shows, they even admitted their clever intent to game the Misplaced Pages process system early on, with their ultimate intent "to request an action against" me. Nereocystis sabotaged my offers and the RfM my AMA advocate filed, and still turned around and lied, saying I "refused mediation." Throughout, they also advanced many different forms of abuse.

I always declared that we need to follow the Misplaced Pages Guidelines of restoring an article to STATUS QUO before TALKING. Nereocystis ignored that, instead aggressively and very quickly "running right over me," disallowing me to restore to STATUS QUO to then TALK.

Nereocystis knew they could usually count on that "92% of people" who view polygamy unfavorably (see this external source) to bring an anti-polygamy bias with them. So, Nereocystis regularly used the announcement method to attract others to join them. Such others would not follow the Misplaced Pages Guidelines of STATUS QUO, including the few recommendations/resolutions others suggested. Nereocystis would then lie, saying that I "refused" to solve the problems or to TALK, when I alone was the one who was always trying to solve the problem within Misplaced Pages Guidelines and WIN-WIN methods.

Kewp arrived very late in this dispute (after content discussion had ceased). Their involvement in this RfArb is virtually meaningless, except to prove how hostile that anti-polygamists are in seeking to sabotage the polygamy articles.
