But you're predicating the above on a false assumption, one I said was one of the things you're accusing me of: that fact is I have dealt with the issues Jdchamp raised, and done so in the proper forums, and intend to continue if I ever see a constructive argument come his way. The only extent to which I haven't has been me trying to do exactly the same ""Step back and take a deep breath"" since Monday thing that you're now arguing I should do. I honestly started to wonder if this was my imagination, so I just checked, I've even had a healthy discussion on the ""poll"" area with Strunke, one in which Jdchamp would have been welcome to join in had he had more to say than the ""I demand administrator intervention"", ""You two are working together"", type accusations he's been making. (Not that I would have stopped him, but the point is that seems to be the level of discussion.)

I'm not going to pretend there aren't comments I made very early on that were unhelpful (though any reasonable person would have seen them for what they were, how was I to know what I was dealing with?) But nothing I have done rose to the level that your insults against me suggested, and absolutely nothing at all, nothing, period, rose to the level that I deserved to have my page vandalized every day with bogus warnings and pseudo-make-ups.

You know, I've been on Wikipedia now for, well, I guess well over a year now. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I've had ""robust"" discussions before. I have never, ever, had a situation where someone was so obsessed with a technical detail that they decided to come to my Talk: page and post warnings over, and over, and over, and over again, or refused to post in the correct place when asked. Perhaps you regularly deal with worse people than that, I don't know. But I didn't deserve this. I reverted something that, at the time, was against consensus, and I did it a grand total of twice. I explained my reasons. The nearest thing I did at the time that came to being uncivil was pointing out that deliberately making changes against consensus can be seen by many of us as vandalism. What's happened since is ridiculous. I'm bewildered it happened, and I'm saddened you still are making the accusations against me that are very obviously not true.   "
