* He does not really understand the basics of neutral editing (although he endlessly claims to).  For example, he cites erotic or pornographic websites, self-published sources.  Worse, he often misattributes material.  Most egregious example of this was when he claimed that the eminent linguist George Lakoff had endorsed [[Neurolinguistic programming]] - a significant and important fact if true, but i he had bothered to check his source, he would have seen that the quote was not by Lakoff.  He does not understand the principles of peer review. He imagines the fact that someone is published in the field, or has a doctorate, or is well-known, or has had their writings vetted by somebody else of note, is of itself sufficient to merit inclusion in an article.  His understanding of the relative merits of publications is seriously flawed, e.g. when he pointed to journals like the one put out by The International Society for Anthrozoology (which is not a recognised journal - see also the NLP journals).  He quotes other authors like Nancy Friday whose work is pure pulp fiction.

* This manner seems almost deliberately calculated to annoy and infuriate editors with an academic background.  His pernicious insistence on absurd and trivialised standards of 'civility' to the exclusion of all editorial or content determined material, is having a deleterious effect on the project.
