As the editor everyone is pointing to as the "bad guy" here I feel the need to weigh in. In my defense let me point out that my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AEiffel_programming_language&diff=71132215&oldid=71086556 first response] to Dr. Meyer was ''excruciatingly'' polite. But there is a point to made here, aside from all the histrionics, and that is that '''WIKIPEDIA IS RUN BY CONSENSUS AND NOT BY DR. MEYER.''' Dr. Meyer was '''INSULTED''' that we even '''TRIED TO DISCUSS THE MATTER.''' Then he tried to invalidate the GFDL, further showing that he has no respect for anything and he only wants his way.
I happen to have dealt with Dr. Meyer before, and so my store of patience was not as great. But you are all missing the point. No amount of patience would have been enough to deal with Meyer, because he wants his way and that's all he wants.
Dr. Meyer doesn't compromise. He doesn't discuss. That's why he doesn't belong here. All of you defending Dr. Meyer and criticizing our already careful handling of him do not understand that the Wikipedia community is more important than any one article. It's not about fonts, for christ's sake, it's about being willing to discuss. Nothing you can say will change the fact that Meyer was a rude, arrogant, selfish, spoiled child. --[[User:Ideogram|Ideogram]] 07:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
