Conflict of interest

In the future please declare if you have a personal connection with someone if you are commenting on their afd. You were scheduled to speak with Ed Winters as this event but it was cancelled. You have a conflict of interest, please read WP:COI Psychologist Guy (talk) 19:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

@Psychologist Guy: I have literally never met Ed, nor have I knowingly communicated with him in any way - not that this is any of your business. There is no conflict of interest. Now you're looking me up to dig dirt? My ability to assume good faith has been stretched to breaking point. Please leave me alone. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:59, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes there is a conflict of interest because you work for the Vegan Society and you sit on their Research Advisory Committee, that is called conflict of interest lol. You also had a vegan event planned with Ed Winters so you are connected to him which you did not disclose. You shouldn't be editing any articles relating to veganism. It's possible you could be topic banned if you do not declare your COI. You need to come clean and admit your COI in this area. You do very good work on this Wiki but you have bias on the topic of veganism and should not be editing that subject. If you want to raise this at an admin board go ahead.

"lol"? Much of what you are saying is straightforwardly false. The way you are speaking to me is appalling, and has no place in a project like this. I say again: Please leave me alone. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
