| I suppose this means you won't be further discussing my alleged accusation of your abuse of your administrative position. Sad. | |||

| The fact is, when you overreacted to my warning, and you sent me your block log, I started ''really'' looking into your history. (One of the so called "attack" pages was my note-keeping over your block log which you asked me to review.) Overall, you were an excellent admin and incredibly voluminous and productive editor here. Your administratorship vote was something like 40 to 1. But since you became admin, you found a way to get into arguments. I noticed how in the AA dispute, there was this whole intense argument thread that started when you mistakenly took something as an attack. Your attack in the following turns was much worse than the one you assumed was an attack. When basically the same happened to me, I looked and asked around. I found many instances of this same sort of thing. Several users sent me emails saying, to the effect "watch out for this guy". They asked to not be named because they feared retribution from your allies. I found their fears to be completely grounded. | |||
| I was hoping that once our argument acquiesced, you would consider taking some personal advice -- to leave the project for a while, to get rested. Plenty of WP critics like Vaknin are out there, and your occasional behavior was gaining them fans. I saw in you signs and symptoms of burnout, signs I've seen in myself in my 25 years of online computer forums and debate. | |||
| What I really see as a pity is that we didn't get to know each other long enough to see each other as fans in the fight against pseudoscience. As an Atheist and Objectivist, I am generally an ally in your guardianship of the Creation/Evolution debate. It wasn't your goals that I objected to, it was your ''style'', and I hope a style that will be reverted by your taking some time off. | |||
