John, please provide evidence for "disruptive editing", because I want to see it. QuackGuru is among the most competent editors of medical articles on Misplaced Pages.

*Happy to help. Quackguru about , where he apparently changed a claim from a source about 15% into "a third". Rather than discuss this "mistake" productively the user chose to repeatedly the conversation from his user talk page. As I said when I went into this area, I have little time for tendentious editing, and as the user has a block log the length of my arm, and would not engage, I have blocked them one week. If anything I think this was a lenient block, and I only made it such a light one because their last block was in 2009. active block notices is not allowed so the user then lost talk page access. I stand utterly by my actions in this area. --] (]) 05:47, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
