COI/Civility warning
Liraz, while you may have a point with some of what you've written about the conflict between you and another editor, you should not touch the conflict with a ten-foot pole.
You may not realize that others with no idea of the history and the specific facts will look at this and judge you, not in the historical substance, but simply that you appear to be attacking an experienced editor, and you are a COI editor and expected to be biased. It's not a fair contest. COI editors and SPAs always lose if they get into a pissing match.
But if you simply sit on your responses, and let others defend you and address the issues, you will find it works much more smoothly. Your invitation to the other editor to work with you was fine, and I believe that was sincere.
As to "breaking laws," don't take the bait! Step aside and let it fly past you. The editor is not a criminal prosecutor, and no criminal prosecutor would listen to him. His comments here about that could indeed cause some consequences to fall on his head, not yours. He's not open to being warned. So let him take the consequences of that, not you.
Neutral comments, like your mention of the error made by the journalist, are fine. The discussion of the logos was a useful point, and ultimately, I believe, this can be resolved. We might even do a kludge: two images. A small logo of the application, another logo below it, the TurnKey logo. There are editors who specialize in this copyright and trademark stuff. So there would be all those individual application images, and then your image below them. Or the combined image, and there should be a way to arrange for that as well.
There is usually a way, if the goal is legitimate.
- Thanks Abd. You're right. I'm not longer emotionally neutral with regards to Sam and I think I'll just have to force myself to back off for now. That's hard to do when you're being attacked but my continued involvement is merely adding fuel to the fire. The drama draws sucks you in even while you're repulsed by the waste of it.
