Point 1 His opening remark is something I will address elsewhere (he claims that I altered my allegation of 'practice' to 'promotion' much later). This is
provably incorrect, and he should not slur my character in this way.
Point 4 "You were offered a further unblock on condition you ceased, and also provided full disclosure on your off-site defamation actions, but it seems you did not provide these to the blocking admin " I cannot for the life of me understand why he is tactless enough to raise this. I certainly
did provide these to the blocking admin, then they were oversighted! Obviously no one is going to continue with the process on-wiki if that is going to happen. He obviously does not realise that the blocking admin has separately and privately confirmed seeing the edits. But I still cannot believe he is stupid enough not to have checked this.
Note Alex has now weighed in

FT2, thanks for the elaborate explanations! Why you are here can you either confirm or deny that a few of your edits presented by Hinnibilis were oversighted? Can you recollect the rationale for the actions? Alex Bakharev (talk) 00:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
His final point "I write this in the attempt to show you that there are good reasons you should doubt all that Headley has ever told you. " He should know I rarely take anything that anyone tells me on trust, and always check for myself. I went through nearly all of "Headley's" edits earlier this year and what I found is a separate question.
Your initial posts about "how can someone be elected who edits subject X" rapidly became "this person is an X-ist".
Thanks for the article names PB, very helpful. I have checked these all originated with FT2, and provide links. I am doing some further research into these edits.

There was two main groups -- the ones that ran the seminars and the ones that actually used the study in various fields. The second kind was probably lesser known, since it was passed around word of mouth less than the seminars.
If you read the linked-to articles above, it is pretty clear which group FT2 belongs to. It mostly illiterate rambling nonsense. In one of the articles he 'sources' his claim with a link to a usenet discussion:

In the past, disciplines which have faced this problem have done the only reasonable thing: start their own journal. Few of the ``Major Players'' in NLP are primarily academics, so the idea of an academic journal has aroused relatively little interest.
FT2 uses the word 'model', which should not be confused with a scientific 'model'. A scientific model is a representation of the world which has explanatory power. It is not a mere list of conditions: a successful model must explain reality with the minimum number of assumptions (for example the geocentric model of Ptolemy contains many more assumptions than the heliocentric Copernican one, which rapidly superseded it).
An NLP model by contrast is a mere list of behavioural characteristics observed in top performers in their subject (typically top performers in businesses and corporations) on the assumption that copying these 'behaviours' (use of this abstract noun in the plural is a giveaway of NLP practitioner, though the usage has unfortunately passed into common parlance in the business world). See e.g. here

Inspiritive offers a unique service, the modelling and transfer of excellence. As a result of our modelling projects, we have developed descriptions for:
Successfully building one's desired future - results of an NLP modelling project
Futures and commodities trading (a monograph is also available)
plus a suite of new NLP processes.
We are always on the look out for talented individuals with whom we can work together for our NLP modelling projects. One of the benefits for the individual is a greater understanding of their competency and often an improvement of their skill. If you have a talent that you would like modelled, call us for a coffee and an informal discussion.
None of this has anything to do with science.
