Comment

I see that all the complaints about this editor seem to be involved with articles directly related to the 2008 Presidential election. It looks to me that people on the other side of the issues want to eliminate some of their competition. One solution would be for WP to have a little less politically motivated editing all around.

What makes you think Drudge Report and Fascism are about 2008 Presidential election? Phoenix of9 (talk) 14:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I shall endeavor to be less involved in any case with political articles -- they make up less than 10% of the articles I have worked on at this point. Finding that some people do not necessarily share my absolute commitment as a traditional northeast liberal to be NPOV is tough sometimes. Thanks for the comment.

1) First time you apologized and said you were not gonna edit war was on 12 December 2008. Yet you continued to edit war. Then you apologized again and said you were gonna stop again. And we know how that went. Hence, I do believe that this time (3rd time) Wiki community needs to send a stronger signal to you that edit-warring and tendentious editing IS NOT OK.

2) The response you have given to this RFC is another proof that you are continuing to use Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines in bad faith. You said that this "RfC/U does not meet the requirements at the start for an RfC/U" because we didnt have 'any "dispute resolution attemopts" ' So you suggested we should discontinue this mediation. Well, we did try dispute resolution attemps. In the mediation, you had mentioned. So your claim was dishonest and your attempt to discontinue this mediation was in line with your general behavioural pattern.

3) It is clear that you are a US conservative. Of course, there is nothing wrong here and political alignments of Wiki editors are irrelevant. However, my issue here is that you are misrepresenting yourself and claiming that you are a "traditional northeast liberal". Why do you do that? Phoenix of9 (talk) 15:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I fear that you are illustrating Steves concerns clearly. In nearly seven thousand edits I have been called on the carpet twice. Period. There is absolutely no edit conflict between us at all, and never was. There has been no dispute between us and never was other than discussions about edits. This, by the way is not "mediation" and is supposed to involve an actual problem which has been through some attempt at resolution. That you never posted on my talk page might indicate that you did not actually try contacting me on my talk page. And since my background is traditional northeast liberal, your attemopt to view me as the "enemy" is weird. Unless, of course, you find accusing people of lies to be a means of discussion? Thanks for your comments. Collect (talk) 15:26, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm just noting it because I think you are misrepresenting yourself. It is not only me who thinks you are a conservative . And you hadnt objected to it there. Now that I noted that, I will not discuss this any further. I dont view you as an "enemy", there is nothing personal here, please do not flatter yourself. This is strictly about my stong belief that you are disruptive editor. You have already partially caused one editor (User:Mike Doughney) to retire, you are damaging this project.

Trying to solve problems doesnt need to be exclusively on your talk page. We tried on mediation. We are not gonna talk about that here due to the privileged nature of mediation. So I do not understand why you keep bringing up the meditaion. However, it is suffice to say that this RFC is valid. Phoenix of9 (talk) 15:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
