Reply The phrase was clearly inappropriate because it was very obviously an uncivil personal attack on another editor and my only real defense is that it was waaaay past my bedtime and I should have quit editing a couple hours earlier my judgement was extremely poor There were obviously better ways to express myself without resorting to the particular word s which touched all this off While I clearly felt provoked there was no cause or justification to characterize another editor in such terms Lar I can assure you in all honesty that I have no plans or intentions to repeat this episode I far prefer editing articles to playing politics and I ll definitely confine myself to more productive activites in future Tropics
