I am going to take a breather and try to assume good faith. Let me summarize how this all looks to the rest of us.
TO THE ANONYMOUS EDITOR "DOOG" This is recapped here for a reason. Our discussions have become increasingly acrimonious. In the light of the above please put yourself in our shoes and see if you might react in a similar way. We are desperately trying to see things from your perspective. Obviously you feel strongly about this issue, ECT. And we applaud that. But just because people disagree with you does not mean that we are "not rational" or have "logical fallacies in our reasoning" or that we "have already made up our minds as to what we believe on ECT, and anything else threatens us"
Please keep in mind that since we have refrained from editing the article in over 2 days, leaving your version despite the fact that we feel it is entirely too biased. And all our prior changes were accompanied with an invitation to talk. We are discussing it with you. You felt the same way about the old version but you reverted 7 times without a single word of discussion with us.
Please read Wikipedia:Five pillars and the links therein, especially the parts about Verifiability in science and medicine articles and Neutral point of view. Reading this essay should also help explain why it may not be good to start out editing things that you care deeply about.
I extend an invitation. Welcome to Wikipedia. Get an account, especially if you share an IP with a vandal. Log in. Contribute. Start out small and be prepared to defend your changes. Try not to take things personally. And don't make personal attacks. Help us improve this article. It may not end up saying what you want it to say. But we should be able to make it say something true and something in a neutral point of view.-- JohnDO| Speak your mind 10:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
