[edit] controversies

Note for anyone else reading this page -- this is not a hit list or a tally of scores to settle. It's for

my own reference, and
one-stop shopping for people wanting to learn more as to whetehr A. B. is a good person or a loose cannon/threat to society/vitriolic dolt/misguided nice guy -- or just an intermittenly clueless editor (most likely):

Some of my best and worst moments on Wikipedia: could I have handled my own role (sometimes preipheral sometimes central) better? The good, the bad, the ugly:

User Talk:A. B.#Your mischaracterisation of my heritage offends me!
- Started with an innocent (?) Talk:Appalachia#Why New England is not included in "Appalachia"
- User Talk:Doughface

Robert J. Koenig:
- User talk:A. B.#Did you email me regarding the RJK website about me?
- User talk:A. B.#Response to Robert J. Koenig/84.58.192.51's post above
