I'm hereby declaring a ceasefire in the Jtdirl/RK flamewar. This is
not a proclamation to be enforced by banning or anything like that,
it's just a proclamation to be enforced by mutual respect.
I don't see that any progress is being made right now, so I ask all
parties to just let it drop for now. Just let the pages be on the
Wikipedia for a little while, let the attacks and counter-attacks
cease on the mailing list, and maybe in a few weeks, tempers will have
cooled enough to permit a kinder and more productive mutual approach.
And I ask everyone to "be the bigger party". If the other fellow
tries to bait you with one last snarky comment, just take pleasure in
how he looks like a jerk, and don't give in to the temptation to
respond in kind.
--Jimbo
That's perfectly OK with me. Thanks, Jimbo
