thanks for your work on merkey related stuff
I wanted to thank you for what is probably otherwise a very thankless task.
Here's my reading on the case. This is a fight that's spilled over from somewhere else on the Internet. None of the participants have much of a clue about Wikipedia's culture of kindness. There are people who love trolling Jeff Merkey because he's easily excited.
We should do our best to encourage all of them to take their fight elsewhere, before their poisonous attitudes
 start to make us irritated with each other.
Anyway, it's good to see you in there.Jimbo Wales 
At any rate,
