"I became less active a couple of years ago, a group of tag team editors discovered they could pin a false accusation of POV pushing and "undue weight" on me and got me banned from the Intelligent Design article. Ironically, the result is that the article condemns ID instead of being neutral. Note: I don't want the article to endorse ID - to be neutral on a controversial topic, a Wikipedia article should neither endorse nor condemn any viewpoint."

"Succusion? That is a nonstandard term that does not appear in a dictionary and is ill-defined in all the homeopathic literature, most of which we cannot cite because it is not peer-reviewed or in mainstream venues"

Compare to the discussion of succussion here.

Interactions with "Dragons flight" led to a reprimand. "you will have your head handed to you"
