[edit] Possible Arbitration

It is my concern that this mediation has been unsuccessful. Both parties continue their previous behavior on the Talk:Morgellons page and in the article itself. I feel it would be beneficial to request a formal arbitration. --Interested2 20:20, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, and ironically, things were completely quiet for almost a month until you showed up and provoked our "muckraker" colleague. Also, there has been no carryover of our dispute into "the article itself", as you state above. If this is the kind of treatment expert editors receive on Wikipedia, it is little wonder that so few of them bother to contribute. Dyanega 21:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm on your side in this dispute, Dyanega - I strongly feel that Morgellon's is delusional parasitosis. I'm merely trying to keep everything calm, and part of that is assuaging the side that continues to rant angrily. That Mukrkrgsj interpreted it as an opportunity to preach is regrettable, but in any event I did not intend to poke him - he made a statement about the mediation and I agreed that it was unsuccessful. As for "quiet for almost a month", I showed up to revert severe POV edits by Pez1103 to the article itself, not to incite a new debate. After watching the article for around a month (which is, I freely admit, a rather brief period), I conclude that Mukrkrgsj and Pez1103 continue to insert serious violations of WP:NPOV into the article, and as informal mediation seems to have been ineffective here, suggest formal arbitration. Nothing less will stop the continual NPOV violations. --Interested2 23:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
