Speaking as one of those tangling with Mr-Natural-Health ... check
his contributions list. He's writing articles that are good and useful,
except for the (IMO) gross and overwhelming POV. (IMO, they're rants
and/or advocacy, not encyclopaedia articles.) They have good material
in them for articles, but that requires MNH not getting upset by the
editing process.

It would be a loss for him to leave if he could play nicer than others.

I have been on Wikipedia about 2 seconds, so I may be hopelessly naive
here.
