Patrick, (Wuster's mate), 
 
in terms of the current Wikipedia thread on taxacom, I think I have made the point and stayed on topic and unless you or someone else from the Wuster gang make false comments, I am more than happy to let sleeping dogs lie.
However I note that if what I have written is particularly objectionable to you, I suggest you don't read my posts in future.
More importantly, I am sure that the silent majority here can make up their own minds as to what I have written is worthwhile and what is not and they do not need the censorship of your gang to interfere with their own scientific judgements.  I note you have not produced a shred of evidence to rebut what I have shown here to be falsification of "facts" on a number of Wikipedia pages, which was after all the original basis of the thread by another correspondent.
 
You may  also recall I was in fact invited onto this forum in the first place!
 

All the best
