The Maimonides issue has spun completely out of control, like many other 
pages where RK decides to take over. He deposits a lot of research, most of 
which is only of marginal relevance to the issue, and causes long and 
heated debates on talk pages whether these insertions are justified. Often, 
vital POVs are not represented, because RK favours particular sources for 
his research and (?conveniently) forgets to mention that these POVs exist.

I do not argue with Robert over pages that don't have my interest, but we 
recently had a major flurry over [[Artscroll]], a Jewish publisher of 
religious texts. Robert wanted to insert allegations expressed on mailing 
lists concerning the historicity and factuality of the content of many of 
these books. While some of these allegations came from respectable sources, 
some others were simple paranoid mumblings by mailinglist contributors.

And so it carries on. RK moves his focus to a different page, annoys a few 
vested contributors, and spins off another discussion. This has been the 
stuff of various mediation and arbitration requests, including a pending 
one, and I'm seriously wondering where this is heading.
