User:Sam Spade/Mediation with Bryan

Requests specific to Bryan

1. That Bryan and I refrain from reverting one another.
2. That Bryan and I avoid one another.
3. That Bryan and I not inspect one another’s contributions lists, nor seek out pages primarily with the hopes of finding the other.

Over all request

That religious pages using the word God have a uniform approach to the one settled on by myself and user:eloquence in the article atheism.

Reasoning

I did not engage in revert wars with non-vandals prior to having met Bryan. I have since joined the Wikipedia:Harmonious editing club, and recommend Bryan do likewise. I have found Bryan to be unable to understand references, or their importance. Specifically these three [1] [2] [3] have been particularly difficult for him to understand, and [4] practically disgusted him due to it's being from a religious source, presenting him with the opportunity to use it later as a point of ridicule. His offensive unwillingness to stop mentioning my surname is well documented as well. I am pretty sure he is willing to readily admit to all of this, with the obvious exception of his inability to understand reference materials, something I can sadly say he is not alone in, and which you might find ample proof of below. There are other examples, including the latest of talk:atheism, but the below is perhaps his finest. There is also the simple fact that I do not find communicating with him to be functional, pleasant, or productive.

Success!

Mediation has successfully resolved these issues, both parties were model participants in the mediation process. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:18, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
