#The KoenigRules incident took place just a month and a half ago, and was part of an ongoing series of questionable behavior which the Merovingian has exhibited since the beginning of his time with us. Although his behavior since then has been exemplary, at present I have no reason to believe that this pattern will not recur. --[[User: | #The KoenigRules incident took place just a month and a half ago, and was part of an ongoing series of questionable behavior which the Merovingian has exhibited since the beginning of his time with us.

#*Peter is right on adopting a "wait and see" attitude regarding this matter. While apologies were extended, I am still being very cautious. As a result of the "Trash KR" campaign, someone from M.'s camp did phone my workplace, trying to make the supervisors see that my scholarly research was without merit. Whether the intent was to remove me from the institution (or not), the fact is this was a BIG DEAL. People like M. need to see that what they say can impact on others' behavior. And they need to bear the responsibility for their actions- even those that they may not have contributed directly to- but even indirectly- through the malicious campaigns that they started. I still have not had apologies extended from M. regarding the call to my workplace. It would have been nice, but so be it. And as long as M. thinks he had no bearing in the issue, then that reflects badly on him and his character. Unfortunately, I too see that other things will arise that will cast this site in a bad light, as a result of M.'s behavior. Just my two cents here. Sorry for the rant, but when your career is on the line, you cannot forget the individual(s) that were involved. I just hope situations like this never happen to you. --[[User:Koenigrules|Koenigrules]] 12:53, 11 June 2006 (CDT) | #*Peter is right on adopting a "wait and see" attitude regarding this matter.

#I've seen some of the interactions at the Sciffy forum with respect to the last incident, and I'm not convinced he's mended his ways. I've seen his work (when he's not interacting with other people) and he definitely has a talent at what he does, but I don't think this is an appropriate role for him. In any case, this is premature. --[[User:Larocque6689|Larocque6689]] 22:31, 10 June 2006 (CDT) | #I've seen some of the interactions at the Sciffy forum with respect to the last incident, and I'm not convinced he's mended his ways.

*Shane, are you only "giving him to chance to prove he is worthy at being an admin", or do you actually personally believe that he is? --[[User: | *Shane, are you only "giving him to chance to prove he is worthy at being an admin", or do you actually personally believe that he is? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:45, 10 June 2006 (CDT) | ||
