:*I'm not sure what your question means so I can't really answer it.  I'm also not going to say "well Gabe was basically right about one component so he wins the RfC".  That's not how this works.  And yes.  It is frustrating as hell.  Article editing in the face of opposition is a pain in the ass.  the wiki model demands consensus because it technically allows for instant reversion, and consensus on difficult subjects is hard.  If there were more than just you, me, and Malik talking about this article at any length, this would be easier, but there weren't.  The RfC got some driveby comments but was generally not a very good discussion.   
 :*I'll reiterate.  Your draft is basically fine, but I want Malik to be included, should he be helpful and flexible.  I will not just declare a winner unless that is the last possible option.  I have already explained at length why I am uncomfortable doing so.  I'm happy to act as an intermediary but I have no clue what discussion needs to happen between the two of you because very little has been said on your draft or Malik's draft.   
 :*If all that means you don't want to keep working, then fine.  That's a shame, but it is your decision.  I implore you to wait for some feedback, and if we don't see some in a timely fashion (and threats to revert from either side don't count as feedback), we can start merging the drafts.  I'm deliberately leaving the timeline open because I hope to diffuse a little tension and allow things to move along at their own pace.
