Mediation on Harold Pinter Hello I appreciate your being really upset about the criticism directed at you personally in the comment you are referring to Unfortunately this is not the first time there are comments directed at a person during this debate First off let me assure you that I am in no way creating a picture of you as a bad guy because of that or any other comment made There are lots of frustrated people here and what I am hoping to do is help people get rid of some of that frustration This does of course not mean that uncivil behavior towards you or anyone else is acceptable Regrettably I have seen tendencies towards this sort of thing in the Talk page from way before so it might take a while to clear the bad air as it were I will try to consult with other people who might have ideas on how to tackle the problem laying at the bottom of all this frustration in a way that doesn t make any of the parties feel attacked I ask for your patience in the short run so that I hopefully can make a difference for everyone in the long run By the way I was very happy to see that you took the time to thank for her recent changes I sincerely believe that communication between you and her is the key to defuse the current situation That showed extra effort on your part which did not go unnoticed Thank you
