* He has no real knowledge of the subjects he edits, although he claims to.

* He does not really understand the basics of neutral editing (although he claims to).  He cites erotic websites, self-published sources.  He quotes authors like Nancy Friday whose work is pure pulp fiction.

* 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. in referencing journals like the one put out by The International Society for Anthrozoology (which is not a recognised journal - see also the NLP journals).  The following [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Neuro-linguistic_programming/List_of_users_of_NLP list] suggests he is unable to distinguish between a training course and a university department.

* He even misattributes material.  The 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 had he bothered to check his source, he would have seen that the quote was not by Lakoff.

*  If this is pointed out or challenged, he indulges in long-winded denunciations of other editors in a way that is guaranteed to escalate hostility, or conceals his lack of understanding behind a logorrheic thicket of words.  This makes any reasonable discussion of the subject matter impossible.  At the same time he assume an aura of righteousness by means of an interminable invocation of Wikipedia rules and tenets.  He personalises all editorial discussion with endless ''ad hominems''

* He seems to many to be agenda driven.  One person said that his editorship "absolutely stinks of partiality and POV motivations", and that his claim of making an article "more neutral" is tantamount to watering it down to suit an agenda of which he himsel may not be fully conscious".Another said that "FT2 carries an idelogical stench whereever (s)he seems to go in "Wikipedia World". There is a clear advocacy and promotion in FT2s edits. Furthermore, the promotion and advocacy is unsophisticated and lazy in the sense that it is apparently exlusively based on Google. FT2's edits are replete with unsubstantiated opinion -- the "NLP and Science" article is a particularly egregious example of this tendency, it is a mass of unsubstantiated verbiage.  ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Neuro-linguistic_programming&diff=94646652&oldid=94631169]).

* 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 marked and deleterious effect on the project.

The effect of all this, combined with the important position he holds on Wikipedia, and the reverential awe in which he is held by less knowledgeable and more impressionable administrators, is a malignant and pernicious influence on the encyclopedia.  He has driven off a stream of excellent and well-qualified editors.  Has gathered around him a group of administrators who hold him in high esteem for his supposed impartiality and neutrality.
