You're being discussed at AE…

here.

Don’t worry, nobody’s accusing you of having done anything wrong. This thread is mostly just more accusations of wrongdoing from Mathsci against the editors that he disagrees with, this time being directed at me as well as two fairly new editors. But one of the new people has apparently read several of the arbitration pages, and is taking some of the advice that you offered about Mathsci there to heart.

I’ve also referred there to the circumstances under which you first got involved in the race and intelligence article, based on what I can remember about it. I don’t think I’ve misremembered this—I looked at your contributions from 2009 to make sure—but you can correct me if I have. --Captain Occam (talk) 12:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Ludwigs2, I read Mathsci's suggestion to you, at the cited request for enforcement, to visit the request for enforcement about Collect entirely as a friendly suggestion. I read what Mathsci wrote as saying that he appreciated your contribution to the discussion at Communist terrorism as very helpful and as a sign that you have something helpful to contribute to the discussion at the the Collect enforcement case. If I am making a correct inference from my life experience among my real-world neighbors and relatives and co-workers, what is happening here is an acknowledgement on Mathsci's part of one of your good deeds in the presence of the editing community, and an expression that bygones can be bygones and he can commend your participation to other editors in the future. Perhaps some editors in the referenced place can learn from the examples of the more experienced editors, which is certainly something I would be glad to do. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:06, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hi Ludwig. As I said in the AE thread, I've read a lot of your comments during the R&I arbcom case, and some of what you wrote there seemed pretty insightful- I've learned a lot about how Misplaced Pages works from reading the case. One thing I'm curious about is, why did you stop editing in this area after the end of arbitration? It seems like your skills and fortitude would still be quite useful there.-SightWatcher (talk) 19:44, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Because I said I would, and I prefer to keep my word on things like that. The reason I said I would stop editing in that topic area is that I had developed too much personal anger towards Mathsci: I couldn't easily (at that time) edit cooperatively with him and maintain a detached reasonable manner. Unfortunate, yes, but I wasn't likely to do much good for the article if I lost my temper every time I crossed swords with him. I figure 6 months to a year is a good time frame to let things de-jangle - we'll see. --Ludwigs2 20:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
