::RonCram, the problem here is that no one in the discussion thought that William was violating "the rules" except for you. It's true that other editors with an axe to grind against him might have shown up and agreed with you, but really, what good would that have accomplished? That discussion would have never achieved a consensus that there was a conflict of interest, and as it stood there was a strong consensus that there was no conflict of interest. 

 ::At any rate, please note that I and several other editors in the thread not only considered your allegations baseless, but found them so off the mark as to constitute possible harassment and disruptive editing. Please refrain from starting such groundless discussions in the future, as they will not be viewed kindly.
