Thanks, Jim!

I would like to NOTE that the kind of program of Theoretical Physics in Development on the Open Net which Jack Sarfatti leads - in contrast to mere exchanges of finished papers, often short, between Institutionalized Physicists loathe to wait on the slow Peer Review (ie, Union Label) Journals - IS a remarkable aspect of our time, therefore deserves your encyclopedia's recognition.

I am NOT asking you to give a Good House Keeping Seal of Approval for what Jack produces, just not to allow a hatchet job by the Defenders of The Faith to strike him down as a heretic because what he does is in deep competition with the Official Organs and Institutions of PAID Academic Physics.

Sincerely,

Gary, Advanced Iowan Idiot, swimp@shaw.ca

I am afraid that perhaps both you and Jack are mistaken about our role here. We are an encyclopedia. We merely report on the world, we are

refuse to attempt to do so. What we will do is report fairly, accurately, and honestly on what we can. Gary, you write "Not everyone will catch every nuance, or understand immediately the significance of a new combination of ideas..." This is fine, and I accept it, but it is not relevant to our project. Misplaced Pages is not the place for original research. --Jimbo

Slow down

I have archived your talk page, as it was getting too long for any reasonable person to follow.

You are entitled to post to your user talk page as you wish, within extraordinarily broad limits. But I had hoped you would postpone discussion of the Misplaced Pages article about you and your work, until we had resolved the matter of Misplaced Pages:Civility (q.v.) and gotten your account unblocked.

If you'll tell me - right here on this page - that you're planning to withdraw your threats of legal action unconditionally - then I will gladly unblock your Misplaced Pages user account. I believe the other Admins will support this.

You can then assure us of your good faith by deleting all the adverse comments you have made about other contributors, as your first act upon returning.

Then we can work together as a community to improve the Jack Sarfatti article, as well as other article related to your work. Uncle Ed 23:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes on removal of legal action statements unconditionally

I have wanted to remove all that stuff anyway in ALL older archived versions. Is that possible?

No, as I explained on the phone we need to keep the archive versions.

Agreement here

Before the others will agree to let me unblock your Misplaced Pages account, they would like a statement from you in which you:

• Commit to stop making legal attacks

Agreed - no problemo I have not made any for several days unless someone is impersonating me?

• Agree not to delete but to mark like this any statements of yours that you wish to retract

Agreed - no problemo

• Promise to refrain from personal attacks

Agreed - no problemo Let's hope they take "Yes" for an answer. :-) I had little idea what Wiki really was when this started.
