I can cast some light on   CZMarlins contribution   CZMarlin is a tireless promoter of AMC vehicles he owns at least two and has a website dedicated to AMC products As he knows I have developed the view that he seems to use the project quite persistently as a PR medium for the defunct corporation and its products It is I believe to this end that it seems to me he has habitually fought against sourced material that brings neutrality and balance to articles on AMC products eg AMC Pacer Gremlin etc    It is true that I was deeply frustrated by the apparent determination with which he misrepresented others contributions in order to justify their deletion eg  I was also frustrated by his apparent insistence on idiosyncratic and erroneous interpretations of the English language and also by what appeared to be deliberately erroneous interpretation of verifiable facts eg   errors that cannot be permitted in an  encyclopedia    My sincere belief that English was not CZMs first language arose from the manner in which he uses it and the difficulties of communicating with him Examples on request I disagree that I belittled him for it  as a nonnative English speaker myself its not something I would do  Indeed I offered to help him with the language offer ignored and told him he could seek help from WP volunteer translators so that he could write in Polish also ignored    True I ridiculed him when his behaviour seemed so extreme as to appear ridiculous to me  I should not have done so But we get frustrated when we try to work with an editor who it seems demonstrates provocatively scant regard for factual accuracy neutrality balance and clarity of communication  Granted I should not have let my frustration show   The known vandal CZM mentions is in fact an IP address used by one or more people The address had a history of vandalism When I saw a constructive edit from it I tried to encourage the contributor in herhis constructive behaviour and later suggested the sandbox for experiments    My posts encouraged constructive behaviour   CZMs damaging claim that these posts encouraged disruptive behaviour is totally false This gives a flavour of the difficulties I had with him It also casts serious doubt on the reliability of his contribution here and also on his good faith  He implies that my use of the term AMC cuckoos was insulting Not so as he well knows because I explained it to him when he showed that he had misunderstood the idiom I used the term in an edit summary to describe the longwinded and inappropriate descriptions of certain AMC cars that he had introduced  like cuckoos in a nest  into an article on a certain aspect of automotive aerodynamics   My  another sophomoric CZM error was mischievous but IMO harmless retaliation for CZMs previous sniffy dismissal of some Google research I had posted to a discussion which he denigrated as sophomoric research He seems to have forgotten that    The reference to little fuhrer is more serious and I should not have used it even though it mentioned no names so no harm done to CZMs reputation Why that particular metaphor Im afraid I regarded CZMs approach to editing as uncollaborative and perfunctory to the point of being dictatorial and ruthless in its uncritical promotion of AMC and its products   Collects contribution   Just as he could list my transgressions I have a list of Writegeists comments so also could I recite a litany of his own Meh Tit for tat gets us nowhere  However it is worth noting that an antagonism grew between us at the Sarah Palin pages when it became apparent to Collect that I disagreed with much of his input whereas he had assumed from one of my earliest contributions there that I would be an ally he left an appreciative note on my Talk Yet despite the difficulties between us it was with scrupulous fairne
