. I do not consider that my communication on this and other issues involves a breach of the code of civility. With reference to this code, there is no transgression of "politeness", "calmness" and "reasonableness" - and no offering of the "personal," "rude," or "aggressive" - in my pointing out what appear to be the information-distortive actions of editors, and the motivations that appear to create such a dysfunction - such a critique offers a route to constructive remediation of distortions, and so with an interest in the increase of WP's general value. I trust that the above commentator is on the same page as I on this motivation. The issue the commentator raises appears to concern the dividing line between objective critique and subjective appraisal. But mind has, we conventionally trust, no direct route to matter, and articulation of the psychological conditions of our discourse is necessary to explicate what happens across this divide.
