Flavius' main editorial opponent was a user called '''Comaze''', real name Scott Coleman, who runs an NLP company called Comaze.com in Australia, and who also has some connection with a company called Inspiritive, run by Chris and Jules Collingwood [http://www.inspiritive.com.au/new_code_nlp.htm], who are invoked by Coleman at one point, saying he was 'authorised' to speak for them.

The argument is heated and bitter.  Comaze says "In this discussion my interest in NLP is purely from a Neutral Point of View". Flavius replies, "No, it definitely isn't NPOV. You are a promoter and advocate and you have a zeal that is almost religious. NLP is basically a "snake oil" business. The advocacy that you are engaged in is especially unethical because NLP isn't free, it costs big bucks. Not only is their insuffcient evidence of the efficacy of NLP there is substantial evidence that it doesn't work. It is unethical to charge people AU$100.00/hour for treatment that doesn't work or AU$5000.00 for a melange of ritual, pop-psychology, brain myths, B-grade philosophy and anecdotes".
