This is my last post about Lir today, and I hope my last one ever.

I've been trying to stay away from controversies
here, but at the risk of
alienation, I have to agree with Jonathan on this one. Note that I was
not around when this whole Lir thing got started and haven't read the
historical context.
Jonathan is not a reliable source for anything related to policy.
He's just one or two steps away from being banned himself.
The problem with Adam is that he refuses, consistently, to acknowledge
his behavioral problems, the problems that led him to being banned in
the first place. This latest episode is just the last straw. He was
asked to talk about why he behaved the way he did. He could have
apologized, but chose instead to obscure the issue by blathering about
inconsequentials.
What he wants to do here is lead people into the belief that he was
banned for reasons having to do with detailed discussion of complex
questions of NPOV. That's not true at all. He was banned for calling
people racists and generally behaving badly, as well as for extremely
low quality and POV edits on a great many subjects.
And now it's all over, so we can get back to work.
