:::Seconded.  And FWIW, I disengaged from this conversation because Doncram was expecting answers from me while mostly ignoring what I was saying and also ignoring the terribly relevant points raised by Choess in his original post up there.  Not to mention that the premises of Doncram's questions are quite flawed.  Orlady and I have not behaved badly.  We have been totally within policy and, when we have let things slide a bit, things have gotten further out of hand resulting in greater cleanup work having to be done.  The net gain from no one having deleted the Jvolkblum articles - as I was doing - has mostly been little mini-stub articles that few people care about but that have become disruptive battleground areas further perpetuating the problem.  Look at all this time we're taking talking about Jvolkblum, all the while not adding content that could be of actual use to people.  As for mediation, who are you planning to participate?  Jvolkblum seems to have gone completely quiet (as an aside, it's interesting how activity at all of the New Rochelle articles goes quiet simultaneously, isn't it?  Why, it's almost as though only one person was behind it all ... but perish the thought).  So who are we mediating with and for what?  Jvolkblum needs to get himself unbanned first.  That means he and only he needs to contact Arbcom and make things right with them first.  Then maybe the community will allow him back and let him get along - with great supervision of course.  —
