*You must excuse me as am a Francophone and sometimes I am told, this leaks into my English prose. 

 :I put this article  up for deletion because it richly deserved it, and yes Hewitt could have been browbeaten into making the necessary changes through other methods. And while he is not the worst of the cretins that we must deal with, his sin is that if he is who he says he is; he should know better. The deluded and the enraged (I have done most of my edits here in Nuclear technologies/energy/weapons) I can forgive and deal with, as they need our pity and they can generally be brought under control (or they get themselves banned) in short order. Carl on the other hand knows exactly what he is doing and attempts to wear everyone out by giving ground only by inches, and by general passive-aggressive behavior because in the end he knows he will win in the long run. 

 :Ask yourself how much of your Wikipedia time is spent reverting vandalism, ill conceived edits, and other forms of damage control? How much of that time comes out of the real work you want to do here? I my case it has become considerable. Hewitt knows that this is true for just about everyone that has written or made significant edits to a large enough number of articles. He also knows that if he keeps his scofflaw behavior just under the point where someone can make a case for banning him, eventually he can insert his theories just about anywhere. 

 :In other words I think he is playing you all for fools. 

 :Now if you feel your time is well spent cleaning up after his messes, with him resiting you all the way, that is your affair, but I have better things to do here, and so quite frankly have you. 

 :Now I certainly don't take any of this personally. I have enjoyed editing with you and I hope to again soon, and feel free to call on me for help when dealing with Carl and his ilk, but note I have no issue with taking a harsh line when I think I am being played.
