Hi again. I have just taken a look at the discussion on this page (at some length), and I think it would be useful to bear these points in mind. 1) I am presuming that your admin is Mel Etitis. I think he has not exactly fulfilled Wikipedia's guideline to assume good faith, being too hasty to label you a sockpuppet.  2) I think your points are valid, but I also understand Mel and Holdek's arguments. "Controversial" does not necessarily mean wrong – solely that there were opinions and debates on both sides. I don't consider "controversial" to be POV. In summary, I would agree that Mel's wording is probably more concise (though not really more neutral), but that both Holdak and Mel's behaviour has been less that would be expected. I have posted a note to Mel to this effect. If there's anything else you would like to talk to me about, please leave another note on my talk page, but I am going to bed now, so won't reply for at least 10 hours. Anyway, welcome again, and cheers, smoddy 23:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Don't edit my comments on Talk pages, or those of any User but yourself. I've replied to Smoddy on his Talk page, pointing out that your complaint was unjustified (if not not outright mendacious). Mel Etitis  ( &Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf; ) 08:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
