 Hi, I hope you don't mind me jumping in like that on the arbitration talk page, but it was obvious that you were being joky but equally obvious that your words could have been read in the wrong way. 

 Crohnie Gal asked me about it on my talk page (the main one, follow the link in the section header) so I explained why I was being such a fusspot. 

 Then I thought, since what you said seemed straightforward enough to me but she didn't understand it, that I'd explain what I thought you meant in the hope that she'd get it if she saw it put two different ways. 

 Please if you have the time take a look at what I said and see if I misunderstood you. If I've understood your comment correctly I think I may have some concrete proposals on how we could try to make this encyclopedia both more inclusive and more expert-friendly. I don't think it has to be "either-or". Please take a look if you have the time and when we've reached agreement on your assessment I'll tell you what I have in mind.  (= )
