::This whole thing is very mysterious. I've seen references to it in various places and have no idea what it is about. Reading between the lines, it seems as if GJP made a "legal threat" (whatever that means) in an email. I don't see anything on-wiki so that might be what happened. If so, he should be permitted the opportunity to withdraw that alleged threat and continue to edit Wikipedia. He has been more harshly dealt with than any other editor in the CC case, and there is no evident reason for that. I surmise he may have been acting emotionally in reaction to the "harassment" (which, again, I have no idea what that means). An indefinite ban seems harsh, and removing his ability to email makes it impossible for him to rectify the situation if he so wished.

Article Posted for AFD

A discussion has begun about whether the article Texas Disposal Systems Landfill v. Waste Management Holding, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Texas Disposal Systems Landfill v. Waste Management Holding until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article..

Your GA nomination of Bryan v. Itasca County

The article Bryan v. Itasca County you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Bryan v. Itasca County for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment.

Harassment

I happened to see the thread...by chance, because I usually avoid that cesspool. I should have said this at the time, but better late than never - that harassment was reprehensible. I'm sorry it happened, I'm sorry that your association with Wikipedia brought you to the attention of that crowd, and I hate the fact that Wikipedia does nothing to protect editors against harassment if people have the sense to move it off-wiki.

Greg can't edit his talk page because he was blocked and his talk page and email access was cut off. He asked me to tell you that he appreciates your message a great deal and although there were times you were on differing sides of the issues he has always found you to be articulate and fair. He wishes you the best on Wiki and elsewhere. (By the way, I have retired from Wiki and don't intend to continue editing, but I made this post at Greg's request. I expect I will now too be blocked for delivering this thank you note.). Best, Minor4th 01:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
