he called me a vandal, so i tried to remove anything i posted there, to try to appease, whats he do? he re adds anything he wnated to see - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DreamGuy&diff=prev&oldid=15137463

then there is the wehole fiasco where he moved missing sun myth to missing sun motif without discussion of any kinbd and got relaly uopset ant any user to tried to undo that.

he just gets worse and worse from there.

he, at the end of his SECOND RFC promised to become civil, this has obviously failed.

that is the reason for this RFA request.

he refuased to accept a possible solution of me having Otherkinb and Therianthropy to wesdit, and leaving him with well, everythuing else on his list, which includes " vampire fiction, Vampire, witchcraft, werewolf, werewolf fiction, and others. I unwatched all but the ones i wished to keep, when slimvirgin asked me to, ( which, to be specific, were only OTherkin, and Theerianthropy) as a show of good faith.,  he refused to have anything to do with it, in the summary ill show here .http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DreamGuy&diff=prev&oldid=21387317 and  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SlimVirgin&diff=prev&oldid=21387172

complete lack of civillity.... check slimvirgin's talk page history for more inciuvillioty towards ADMINS, and on his talk page as well

the follown is from a conversation i had with Elvenscout, that im trying to repost from an email as other proofs, in order to show that this isnt about just me and him. anything from here on down is from ElvenScouts point of view.

is an example of DreamGuy not willing to admit that he has not won any argument, making a personal attack on a number of users (calling Llywrch and Paul August "clueless"), alleging that I (Elvenscout742) was removing a "correct definition" of the word "mythology" (in the article of that name) even though I just want to enforce consensus by also including the more common definition, alleging I have no such consensus and making a personal attack against me (by referring to my "bullheadedness").

is an example of DreamGuy blanking my response to 1 above without responding. (I added his comment and my response back in since then, only to have the page blanked again.)

The recent history of the discussion page for the Mythology article is littered with another destructive conflict, this time over DreamGuy refusing to allow the article to include any reference to a particular definition (the more commonly used one) of the word. I have cited many sources, including a number of general dictionaries, one "specialized reference for the field in question" (as DreamGuy has said) and the works of several scholars in the field that support what I say, but he has yet to give any real evidence to justify his PoV other than claims that the mythologists to which I refer were not real mythologists and some ominous references to the "people in the field" who despise them. The closest he's come to naming any specific sources in this area is to ask me if I have read any "classical authors", which I can only assume is in reference to ancient Greek and Roman writers (like Homer and Hesiod) - not serious scientists in this field at all - as he has not responded to my pointing this out in over four weeks, and seems unwilling to actually discuss anything. This seems like an attempt to provoke another edit war in the actual article (something I have no intention of doing) so he can earn more sympathy from outside parties. He is leaving those who disagree with his unproven ideas no choice but to revert his edits, as he has not returned to the Talk page even after I asked him to do so [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADreamGuy&diff=21329277&oldid=21324397 here].

I had not said everyone else was wrong - perhaps the result of DreamGuy's delusions that everyone is on his side. I do not refuse to compromise if it is for good, but the use of awkward wording solely to appease DreamGuy (and only DreamGuy) when consensus is obviously against him is not for good. (Two outside parties have posted their opinions on this dispute, and, both siding with me, both to be insulted by DreamGuy when I pointed this, and the fact that noone there agrees with him. He claims he has a consensus against me and I have lost the argument, evn though it is currently - as of 11:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC) - at a standstill because he refuses to return to the table.)
