[WikiEN-l] Irismeister again

Fri Feb 20 15:50:26 UTC 2004

Ed irismeister follows me around. Everything I edit he does. You protected the talk page but you've left his  comments in. Note that I didn't write the article a newbie did. The only reason irismeister made the comments is because he watches my user contributions. How are the new users supposed to know he is addressing me and not them ?  when he writes "This stub is incredibly puerile. It reads like a DIY manual, has no encyclopedic value" 

Look at the history page Ed

I protected that talk page. I think this is the first time a talk page has been protected. 

You know, Theresa, if you just didn't answer Iris this thing would have fizzled out. You don't see me in any edit wars, do you?

Okay, I have a long-running dispute over global warming with a few folks, but we've managed to keep it fairly good-natured... Did you see the full page ad in today's New York Times by Al Gore?

Irismeister has just been extremely unwelcoming to new users on the page [[reflexology]]. See the talk page for details. We should ban him for this alone (without all the other stuff). Being rude to newbies is inexcusable IMO
