[WikiEN-l] Jack Sarfatti makes trouble again

Sun Dec 11 14:55:18 UTC 2005

The whole Siegenthaler controversy seems to have emboldened all sorts 
of people with a gripe against Wikipedia or its editors to come out 
of the woodwork and start making trouble, even if they've previously 
simmered down.  Now, Jack Sarfatti, who previously objected to the 
content of the article on him but ultimately calmed down, seems to be 
back on the warpath, and he seems to have decided that I'm his 
"Public Enemy #1".  He left these comments on my user page:

| Stop your slander of me and stop vandalizing the page on me. The
| New York Times article on Siegenthaler applies to you. You are a
| political enemy of mine. You are a Liberal with a Mental Disorder.
| Cease your defamation of me. Jack Sarfatti

He also left comments on the talk page of the Sarfatti article, and e-
mailed me.  Isn't it defamation on his own part to allege mental 
disorders on my part, or at least practicing psychiatric medicine 
without a license?  (No, I'm not making legal threats against him, 
just making an observation.)  And making (false) inferences about my 
political orientation is unwarranted.

Here are the diffs of my recent edits to Sarfatti's article; did I do 
anything out of line?  Sarfatti's edits removed information, and were 
often formatted in an incoherent manner.
