This "discussion" has long since gone away from being a rational 
discussion of issues relevant to the topic of this list, and into 
being a personal pissing contest.  Trying to prove who was right or 
wrong, and whether wrong statements were intentional lies or 
accidental misstatements, or making demands and counterdemands for 
apologies, accomplishes nothing towards the purpose of developing 
sensible policy for Wikipedia.
