I myself am not a fan of Kwork's fracas, if it's what I think it is, and I hope he keeps it covered in public. I did hear about a woman once who was actually shot in the fracas. It must be close to the yet, because the same article said the bullet was in her yet. Presumably having traversed the fracas.

Y en México soviético, fracasas.

As my people say, "A palabras necias, oidos sordos."

At least my people down at Las Cuatro Milpas.

IronDuke (T-C-L-K-R-D) is back from his self-imposed exile of three months.

His first actions, somewhat predictably, were to restore his accusation against Cla68, which had been deleted by Lar, followed by immediately going to Cla68's Talk Page to stir the pot with him and ask him "formally" to ... I dunno.

IronDuke's opening salvo with Cla, hilariously, is this:
QUOTE
I'm back
Hi, Cla68. As you may have noticed, I have taken a break from editing pending resolution of your actions. Per discussion with arbcom members I am hereby formally requesting that you stop following me or engaging me in any articles/noticeboard discussion that I am involved in that you had not previously been involved in before you were asked to follow me around off-wiki. I will certainly try to avoid you when and where I can. Thanks. IronDuke 16:32, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

"Pending resolution of your actions" and "per discussion with arbcom members" -- its so precious. Especially since there is no resolution, and no arbcom members have come forward to be named or make any comment whatsoever.

Will IronDuke settle into his usual pattern of finding people, living and dead, to accuse of antisemitism, sucking up to Jayjg, and general mayhem? Only time will tell.

Lar -- Guys want to be like him. Girls want to be with him. Some guys also want to be with him, but I don't know if he's into that. evilgrin.gif

That "resolved" template is just so precious. Also, IronDuck's faithful companion, Bill Huffman, is an interesting case in his own right. One might see why he charges Cla68 with being "disruptive."

So, now there is a huge section in the Grant article on anti-semitism. At least he didn't try to add mention of it to the lede. Which reminds me, perhaps it's time again to try to get the Nazi reference removed from the lede of the Martin Luther article. Hopefully IronDuke, if he is now reformed and reborn as a neutral editor, will help me out with that.

Postscript: The Nazis aren't mentioned in the Luther intro anymore, although his anti-semitism still is.

That's next. He's patient. He'll wait a few months, revert-warring over his section, then add it to the lede, citing "long-standing consensus". I can also predict that if you revert him, you'll be "stalking" him at the behest of "banned editors" -- meatpuppetry again! Don't do it, Cla!
