I assume that Anonymous User is David Finn, who has been banned from Citizendium for rude and disputatious language but has filed a lengthy appeal pleading for his return. He's welcome to his opinions about me and my contributions to CZ, but he's not welcome to his own set of facts.

Wrong as usual, Anonymous User. I registered here under my real name, as apparently only Howard and a few other brave souls have done, and set up an account with my real email address and a password, etc.

Have you forgotten how to read, Anonymous User ? Peter Jackson, in the first line of this thread, says, "Gareth declares the Charter suspended" and the other Rationalists took it from there.

The registration process, my dear Anonymous User, is designed to keep people like you out, not to let you in -- and, as you can see, it has worked admirably. Which is why you rail against it.

Are you 11, or 12, Anonymous User ? Bold words from a 12-year-old hiding behind a pseudonym. I'll give you my address: come on by and I'll give you a spanking, then wash your mouth out with soap.

My "qualifications" as an Editor can never be challenged, not even by Tom Larsen or Dave Finn or any of the very few other acolytes of their unnamed guru.

The EC is composed of four Editors, of whom Howard is one, and three Authors, of whom I am one. What then, are my "qualifications" of being on the Editorial Council in the first place? Well, election to it by the Citizens.

The reason I did what I did, rather than to participate in your juvenile name-calling, was to preclude other people from hijacking my name here in your friendly confines, as they have, apparently, done to other innocent Citizens, then writing malicious messages ascribed to that Citizen.

Gareth has not declared the Charter suspended (he has absolutely no power to do so), but suggested that as a possibility.

Why? Because, as even a cursory glance at my User page (or even the article about me at CZ or, gasp! Wikipedia) would show,

A further glance at the Editorial Council page would tell you that

It would be very easy for the people who run this wiki to verify that

This shows the intellectual quality of some of the people at CZ, those who then share their thoughts with RW --

I repeat,

I am a simple soldier in the trenches, a mere Author -- not a lordly Editor. Since I am not an Editor, then stripping my Editorship from me would be a difficult task indeed.

I am the true and authentic Hayford Peirce and not a cheap imitation.

ONE person has resigned and the CZ project is running normally.

Gareth did NOT declare the Charter suspended, because he cannot do such a thing. And the abilities of Daniel M. have nothing to do with what I said.

Well, back to your "facts", gentlemen....

And how do I come to be Secretary of the Council? Hold onto your hats! Once again, by election to the post -- by a 6-0 vote, as I recall, with Howard's vote being one of them.

Is this too subtle a distinction for you Rationalists to understand?

Can't anyone here read, and understand, English? Surely that is a Rational question to ask? (Or even spell -- I find some of the *weirdest* spelling here....)

Geez, the level of discourse at this site never fails to astonish me!

You Rationalists may have your own opinions as to what "normally" entails, but from the Citizens' point of view there is no crisis. An overblown fear of one for a while, but that's all.
