== Banning of Aesculapius == 

 Dear Zoe, 

 First, let me say that I agreed with your request to ban of Aesculapius (I will call him 'Asclape' for spelling ease sake) for 24 hours.  I also posted a notice to that effect on his user talk page to that effect, but he has since erased it.   

 On the other hand, I don't know if you've noticed but Asclape now appears to have no intentions of posting any further posts at Wiki as a result of this.  It is my theory that every editor at Wiki has something valuable to say, the only thing is that they sometimes don't know exactly how to say it.  I try to practice this theory whenever I disagree with another editor, and rather than trying to simply confront them and let them figure everything out for themselves, I try to help them say whatever it is that they are trying to say without violating Wiki policies.  In doing this, I have found that I usually end up by making friends out of potential enemies, rather than the other way around. 

 In following this theory, I have gone ahead and done something that I know is perhaps a bit marginal regarding Wiki policy, and I have taken the link from out of the Parodi article body that lead to Asclape's personal page, and reinserted it in the External links section.  I justify this by the logic that should anyone ever want to research Mr. Michael Parodi himself, that info about his immediate family is usually considered somewhat relevent by such researchers, though in most cases such info usually wouldn't belong in the body of an article.   

 I hope you don't mind me doing this, but I have been watching Asclape's edits for the last month or two, and I have seen him becoming an ever better and better editor, and I think that this is a fair way of addressing some of everyone's concerns. 

 Sincerely, 

 -
