Users certifying the basis for this dispute

{Users who tried and failed to resolve the dispute}

This user seems to think that he/she, alone of all users, is exempt from the rules concerning Verifiability, NPOV, Original research, etc. Even after being alerted to these rules he/she dismisses them as inconsequential and restores edits that violate policy. He/she is extremely abusive to me ("extremely hypocritical," "right-wing blowhards," "dishonest," etc.), falsely accuses me of vandalising the article and the Talk page, and ignores admonitions from a sympathetic editor to stop. Due to unfamiliarity with dispute resolution procedures, I prematurely threatened to have him/her blocked, but I do think that some outside intervention is now warranted. -- Hecht 10:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am compelled to certify that User 68.18.39.45 / annonymous has engaged in personal attacks against User:Hecht. I disagree with the allegations about Verifiability and Original Research, and I think I am not in a position to objectively comment on NPOV. User 68.18.39.45 / annonymous jumped to conclusions, in what I think is a browser-cache induced problem, with missing comments on talk pages. I am still confident that User 68.18.39.45 / annonymous can realize he or she is being unreasonable in certain respects and change his or her conduct. I do not believe that User 68.18.39.45 / annonymous acts in bad faith; rather he is carried away by impulsiveness and excessive ardor.--Atavi 12:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
