== Thanks for comment at AN/I == 

 Hello, Heimstern! I wanted to thank you for your comment at AN/I about the whole debacle over a checkuser having accused another user of character assassination. Since I know it's impossible to watchlist a particular thread at that board, I thought I'd also let you know that I made a change to the wording of the proposal to incorporate the light your comment shed over it. You could revert me eight ways to Sunday for doing that, i.e. for changing text that you'd already posted a reply to below, but I thought I'd risk the liberty in this case because your objection made such good sense to me, and because opening up a new level three subsection for a revised proposal would have been pretty silly. Since you were the only one who had responded, though, and since I made the change to respond to your comment, I didn't think you'd beat me up over it. ;-) 

 Anyway, I wanted to just let you know of this, and to explain that my hope is that (a) Ohana might yet change his mind, or, if he doesn't, (b) community consensus will nevertheless allow the comments to be struck through so they're not thrown in betsy's face every time she files an SPI for the next three years. Some people in the I/P area are just mean, I'm sorry to say, and would certainly repeatedly cite Ohana's comments on various pages, despite the seeming consensus at AN/I that they were uncalled for. It's disturbing, but the rule really does seem to be, "fling whatever mud is you can put your hands on, maybe some of it will stick". To be clear, though, I do not make these comments about any individual editor. If you want to have a look at the section again, here's a link. Thanks again for your comment, it was insightful and helpful. Best,  –
