Mediator response
The debate was primarily between and. As can seen Okaythere has not had any activity since May 11th, when his complaints regarding Pepsimax's bias were rejected. Pepsimax agreed to all mediator revisions and the current version meets with all parties approvals.

Evidence
Please report evidence in this section with for misconduct and  for 3RR violations. If you need help ask a mediator or an advocate. Evidence is of limited use in mediation as the mediator has no authority. Providing some evidence may, however, be useful in making both sides act more civil. Etiquette: Although it's understandably difficult in a heated argument, if the other party is not as civil as you'd like them to be, make sure to be more civil than him or her, not less.
