I'm glad to say that so far as I know, Ed has never frozen another
page in which he was personally involved and you have never edited
anyone else's user page again. Good for both of you.

|If things were the way Vikki said they were, that would be fantastic.
|The incident with Ed Poor that I referred to was where he was helping
|edit an article, then noticed an edit war, and froze the page.
|
|After the page was frozen there were howls of protest from Eric, Ortolan88
|and so forth that he had left the page in a "biased" form. On THEIR
|request he took the disputed text out entirely, until such time as the
|page could be unprotected.
|
|Then he got attacked by these individuals for doing the very thing they
|had begged him to do previously.

|the Wikipedia, and I will back you up.
