"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."

- He was an administrator from March 2007 until February 2008 when brought up before ArbCom for biting newcomers with unpopular views, which resulted in him resigning as an administrator.
- He was briefly a candidate for the Wikipedia ArbCom in December 2007: "I've not shunned controversy - I've done a lot of work on Homeopathy" then he later said, "I withdraw. I do not think I could work with the Arbcom."
- While editing as Shoemaker's Holiday he has had edits to the homeopathy article between 2008-04-15 and 2009-05-14. He tried to regain his adminship, but his past caught up with him.
- Claimed to be quitting Wikipedia in June 2009.
