 * As I have no current disputes with you, I am uncertain what the purpose of this is. Collect (talk) 19:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * the purpose is that an ENORMOUS RfC about your behavior achieved nothing because you refused to take part in the many suggestions provided to you. we tried to get you to make a change voluntarily, but you refused and i fear without this next step you will continue to be disruptive to wikipedia.  you seem to be a good editor in a lot of ways, but your attitude and edit warring gets in the way of that.  i suggested you avoid politics, but you wont listen to me (or anyone it seems).  i searched for other ways to get you to listen, but theyve been exhausted.  please try to listen this time.  i have no ill will towards you, but when you continue to edit the way you do (and make wild and offensive accusations about me and others) you will continue to cause trouble here.  its got to stop.  lets all try and play well together.

 * Thanks for pointing out that I have no current disputes with you and that the purpose is to continue the RFC/U and not to actually perform anything useful at the ArbCom level.    When an RFC/U fails to get the results you desired, using ArbCom is forum shopping at best.  Collect (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's actually considered the next step in dispute resolution Collect, just settle down. If you've done nothing you've got nothing to fear. Soxwon (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Echoing Soxwon here: dismissing a DR attempt on "procedural grounds" or as ill-motivated isn't a good way to go (certainly didn't help on the RfC). The ArbCom members are of a rather sane ilk, so I'd strongly recommend simply cooperating with the process and letting it run it's course. -- SB_Johnny | talk  20:21, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * OK -- what's a year anyway . Collect (talk) 20:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Collect, may I suggest you check out a book by Byron Katie from yr local library. It may change your life and make you a happier person, you never know. No need to give a response. ► RATEL ◄ 08:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * (offtopic) No seriously, I am a happy fella with a loving family. But in my professional life I deal with people who have disorders in the anxiety spectrum (OCD, social phobia, GAD, depression, etc), and a remarkably high number of them are packrats who love collecting things. Watching you over the last few months provokes a sense of deja vu in me. Feel free to ignore this comment. One of my weaknesses is that I like helping people, and the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as we all know. [[Image:Face-wink.svg|25px]] ► RATEL ◄ 15:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

(out) Actually, the most OCD people I have met online insist they collect "nothing." The ones who admit they collect have included (in my experience) best-selling authors, teachers, and all sorts of wonderful people. The one I recall most on the other hand who said he would not collect anything was a multi-millionaire who said he would have nothing to do with anything not connected to making money. Noted collectors include Julius Caesar, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and a bunch more who all appear to me to be quite sufficiently normal. Collect (talk) 15:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Which basically deals with Collier brothers and the like -- not with normal collecting. The patients examined fall into a different group than the vast majority of collectors.  Food hoarding is also associated with foster children, but I would not describe them as brain damaged by any means.   BTW, what do you collect? Collect (talk) 16:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Stalkers, it seems. ► RATEL ◄ 04:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Who do you think is stalking you? Collect (talk) 10:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You may notice that I do not address your comments on other pages. This is deliberate on my part. I do not wish to encourage your behaviour or feed your obsessions and grudges. ► RATEL ◄ 01:26, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
