both leave the topic

In the 'Pedia and on

Neither
is a troll, and
neither is displaying the kind of behavior that

really good articles (notwithstanding the fact

Right. You could have said my name.
I very very very much regret what I said that time.
But what I most regret is that I brought the attention
of the list on the subject, then many people were
critical of him, and because of this and me, he
decided to leave Wikipedia.
This is just the strongest regret I have of 18 months
being there. Believe me.
And please also believe, that unless I am totally
drunk, I will not repeat the mistake. Ever.
Anyway, just leave the bloody topics alone. Let
other people look at
them for a while. Maybe let people less
personally involved use their
judgement. Either that, or start buying us all
mass quantities of

I note that his article was saved. Which mean the
uncomplete one, with a wrong and misleading
introduction. I deeply regret that. I regret it,
because readers will see something wrong. And because
other editors will edit an uncomplete article. What I
just did what to put in this place the whole content
we had on the topic. So that other users could judge
whether it belong there or not.
I will be clear
RK and I disagreed on two things
He wanted one article while I wanted 2.
Now there is only one. Point for him. Me out
He wanted to remove non scientific view, politics and
such from the article, when I claim it was important
they be there
Now, only science is left. point fo him. Me out
Since I agreed on the first point, and since the
second problem was a problem of content to keep or to
remove, I think it would have been nice to keep the
problematic content, so that people could jugde. Well,
the content is not there.
RK got all he wanted. I lost on absolutely every
point. He has no reason to complain now, the article
is all what he wanted. Thank you for very much.
