How do you educate someone who does not want to be educated? He is of
the opinion that he has done nothing wrong, GerardM agrees with him. A
number of other Dutch Wikipedians who have spoken out about this issue
have not.

You are right when you say I may have been too rash in starting the
procedure; however I feel fully in my right to continue it. All it
would have taken for me to stop the procedure was for him to say
"Sorry, it would have been better to first discuss it. I will try to
do better from now on." His only reaction to that is, "I have done
nothing to be ashamed of."
