message: Bensaccount, you said "I won't even bother any more" in your response. The point of this RFC isn't to run you off the articles so you no longer contribute. The point is to get you to contribute within NPOV policy. If you refuse to follow NPOV policy and stop contributing, that's your choice, but another option is to make your contributions so that they also follow policy. That's another choice available to you. It means you'll have to learn the policy and understand what you need to change to follow it, but it's a choice available to you if you choose it.

message: I am withdrawing the request to delete this RFC at least until the dispute with SlimVirgin is figured out. If a request to delete, archive, or delist the RFC is made in the future, SlimVirgin should not be the admin to handle it. For the moment, I believe the RFC can be "delisted" from the current list of active RFC's. We can get a neutral admin to figure out if it should be archived or what. But at the moment, I don't want this page deleted until this dispute with SlimVirgin is handled, hopefully somewhere OTHER than this RFC talk page. FuelWagon 17:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: SlimVirgin, given your declared bias against me, I'm going to ask you to remove yourself from this discussion completely. FuelWagon 19:52, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Well, Bensaccount has made clear the dispute is not resolved. Given that, I've recertified so that this can find some sort of resolution. FuelWagon 20:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: unresolved

message: FuelWagon:  Why did you decide to archive most of this talk page?  I think that it is still a subject of discussion.  If you really just want to resolve the antagonism between FuelWagon and SlimVirgin, please post a request for mediation or a request for arbitration.  I do advise posting an RfM to try to resolve these issues.  Trying to archive this history does not help at this point.  I know why you did it, but it was a mistake.

replies: text: Oh, you know why I did it, do you? I did it because the bulk of the talk page was filled up with chatter about whether or not the RFC is legitimate, had the right diffs, had proper evidence, crossed the correct T's, dotted the proper I's. Since SlimVirgin's anonymous admin friend has declared the RFC to be acceptable, all that chatter is just taking up space. On the off chance that Bensaccount actually comes back, it would be good if we could deal with the dispute with him. SlimVirgin brought her issue with me to this RFC, and that didn't belong here in the first place, let alone after another admin declared this RFC to meet wikipedia requirements. At this point, reverting this talk page does nothing but keep unrelated discussions around that shouldn't have happened here in the first place, that shouldn't have been SlimVirgin's business to interfere with in the first place, and you achieve NOTHING but to satisfy yourself to revert the archiving. none of this has anything to do with the actual behavioural problem with Bensaccount. You want to help resolve some of the issues with SlimVirgin, clear out this talk page and put it back in the archive. She shouldn't have been here in the first place. un-archiving this mess was the mistake.  FuelWagon 03:18, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
