'tis a shame. I'm still hoping to see him mellow a bit. I'm a bit concerned that NYBrad may have a blind side towards CH if not some outright personal bias. Although did express concern about CH's title. Was also trying to defuse. I think a sense of familiarity (or simply familial-ness) may be blindsiding admins into persisting in looking at isolated incidents rather than a growing thicket of conflict. The plethora of combat allusions in addition to manifested embroilments don't strike me as conducive to a consensus collaborative environment. CH is skilled at playing ad hominem games slightly tempered, flirting about the edge and veiling with attachment to editorial content.

He himself notes that, sadly, he is unable to separate tone from content.

The manner I wrote to you was in my disagreement, so I can't see how you can logically separate the two. Here I rhink atrive vs. struggle would be worth meditating on. "Every act of creation is by its nature a violent act, and anything worth doing is worth struggling over"

Seems CH has chosen and defined the rules and the game as he sees fit and is rigid about holding to that. I'm getting the feeling that he feels... thinks... holds himself to it. Idealistic code as if a young teen or asperger's spectrum. Something socially challenged.

OMG, it linked to the 'trout slap'. Hilarious [and a bit sad] as I dropped a on CH earlier today...

My instant impression of the blue Login button was that the page uses Facebook for login, even though the form doesn’t mention “Use Facebook.” Perhaps a different color could be used to avoid giving this impression? This could be off-putting for those like me who don’t use Facebook login.

Blue is actually not exclusively a Facebook color. Considering that the action logs users in, or throws an error if you try to enter your Facebook credentials (you can’t log in with email, obviously), users will get the message I think. My Reply:

{{blockquote|text=Expecting users to have to "get the message" seems contrary to "an account creation and login process that is simple and pleasurable to use". IMHO, I think the shade of blue field combined with a white sans-serif font will bring 'facebook' to mind for many (if not most) users. The 'facebook' logo has become a cultural icon and is parodied in many forms. Seems trivial to simply choose another color scheme which doesn't attract such confusion. Unless one has come to invest WP:OWNERSHIP (ego) in that particular design element of course. Or is trying to make a WP:POINT about not allowing facebook's de facto cultural pwnrship of blue and white sans styling. : } --Kevjonesin}}

I also had added a simple free standing observation to to the general list at comment # 20:

I interacted with the new log in page today. The blue field combined with a white sans-serif font of the “Log in” button immediately brought facebook to mind. It caused me to hesitate and consider going back to the old login page as I was initially unsure as to whether I would be initiating an unwanted interaction with an external page (facebook). –Kevjonesin
