::::::Eric's behaviour is his responsibility, not mine. As for "itching to get into it", Eric pinged me on his own talk page for no reason at all - I didn't ask for a discussion. Amidst all the whining about supposed "poking", maybe that's the sort of poking that people with his best interests at heart might want to encourage him not to do. Double standards aren't going to help him; and encouraging his immature behaviour tends to contribute to him ending up in situations like this one.
