A question about user page policy. Should we redirect an existing Robert Merkel to user:Robert Merkel?

I have revised the "incest taboo" page and would like to know what you think and if you still prefer to revert it to "incest," thanks, SR

The content is much improved and now stands as a reasonably interesting article. I think it still probably belongs on the incest page, though (as this debate shows, the only things that make interesting the topic interesting are the taboos around it (and the genetic implications, I suppose), but I'm not going to force the issue now that the content is OK and independent of the other article. I still intend to keep an eye on this page though.
Ark is kinda feisty, isn't he? --Robert Merkel
I am glad you see improvement -- personally, I don't care whether it is part of a bigger page including incest, or separate (actually, maybe it is a good thing that it is separate). By all means, keep your eye on it.
Feisty, huh? Well, it seems to me that somewhere along the line Ark discovered that s/he could get her way by being abusive towards others. Fortunately, my own life has helped me learn how to handle most (well, many) abusers. slrubenstein
