Response to Bakasuprman

Bakasuprman writes, "Desiphral has provided resources and citations to attest to the use of [Deva]nagari amoung gypsies. Rather this seems like a way to attack the lone roma contributor on wiki."

First, I'd appreciate it if you and Desiphral assumed good faith and refrained from thinly-veiled personal attacks (in accusing people of anti-Roma bias or attempts to "attack" the "lone" Roma contributor on Wikipedia). Secondly, he never did provide any source until today; he had one month to do so in which people asked him for one, and another month after Dewrad gave him until the beginning of April. He never even responded to Dewrad's idea; all that happened was that seven days after the extremely generous deadline he'd been given to come up with sources had passed, he provided one source that actually refuted his point (here, which I was not aware of at the time I was writing this RfC, since it had only happened a few minutes before), and without even waiting for his claims to be addressed he unilaterally changed all the pages back by re-adding Devanagari. He never once said anything on the talk page like "I'm looking for sources, but I'm having trouble finding reliable ones, could you give me a few more days before removing Devanagari from the article" or "I disagree with your proposed deadline because..." or anything like that. He just added his original research back, despite the fact that consensus was clearly against it. --Miskwito 05:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
