Wikinews talk:Dispute resolution/Users Borofkin, Mrmiscellanious, and others/Draft joint statement

Its Mrm now
I think its best to wait for Mrm:s statement whatever he might say. He got the ball now and its up to him to play the game he joined. International 23:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably not a bad idea. - Borofkin 00:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I doubt MrM will be saying anything. In the past he's been successful just ignoring things like this. I will contribute to the joint statement. Neutralizer 01:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Individual disputes and a "pattern of conflict"
Another thing to think about is that some contributors to the dipute resolution page have stated that they are not currently in a dispute with MrM. If they aren't in a dispute, then there is nothing to resolve. The issue at hand is that the people who have made statements expect to be in dispute with MrM again in the future. There are individual disputes, and then there is a "pattern of conflict". It is this pattern that we are attempting to understand and resolve. - Borofkin 00:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If Mrm neglect our effort to solve these "pattern of conflict" he is in dispute with us (?) and that is a reason to involve the Arbcom. Thats what I suggest for comminig week. International 06:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Stranger weighs in
The fundamental problem section is not comprehensive enough,
 * MrM has confused editorial and administrative roles, blatently using the latter to prevail in the former
 * MrM has exercised power without providing specific auditable reasons
 * MrM has blurred principles of policy with his own will, to the point of misrepresenting and abusing that power
 * MrM has misrepresented his actions to evade sanction
 * MrM has assumed bad faith and brought heavy force or threat thereof to bear where a discussion would have sufficed
 * MrM has menaced users to disuade them from doing what they had every right to do
 * MrM has abused other users' views, telling them to leave the project where they have done no more than rightly disagree with him
 * MrM has demonstrated a very poor sense of NPOV generally, attempting biased edits while citing neutral principles

 * Very clear and organized analysis by SiP, imo. Neutralizer 19:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
