== That was completely unnecessary. == 
 You're absolutely right, and I'm glad you regret leaving your smug nonsense on my talk page. The passive-aggressive "I may be mistaken" was particularly telling. 

 What makes you so passionate about a single AfD that's going to close as delete anyway? 

 :Nothing. I'm passionate about having my intelligence insulted. I'm certainly also passionate those who aid in insulting my intelligence, are clearly wrong - both factually and philosophically  and are smug about it. 

 I'm not trying to change the outcome... 

 :Wrong. You are, by enabling and tacitly supporting abusive sockpuppetry. 

 I'm trying to fight a pervasive form of newbie-biting, which (regardless of whether you put it there in the first place) you are supporting by restoring and vehemently defending it. 

 :I'm calling a spade a spade, and they ain't newbies  at least not newbies who will do anything other than self-promotion and abuse of Wikipedia. 

 Oh, and no personal attacks. 

 :If you think strong disgreement constitutes "personal attacks", you need to get out more. For the third time I call a spade a spade
