i'm sorry i can see now that nothing i say will be read as sincere i'm sorry that this is the case i really was trying to help things i felt that if i told you my side of things you might understand me better i wasn't trying to lecture you i really feel like i have been attacked from the beginning whether or not you think it is correct isn't really the issue it is the way i feel if you think through how things have happened you will see that it is a pretty legitimate feeling we both reverted three times i counted if you want to call me the bad guy for reverting then call him the bad guy too if you want to accuse me of being disrespectful show me where i wasn't disrespectful until the point at which you reverted my suggestion yet you accuse me of being disrespectful before that point basically if you're going to start off accusing me and not caring about my view of the situation then what hope do i have of having my pov appreciated in the consensus none the mediator of the discussion is already convinced i'm in the wrong you can delete this if you want but i hope you read it first i'm not trying to point fingers i'm just trying to help you understand from my view you felt like you needed to step in and help with an edit war you set some ground rules and are trying to establish a consensus you saw me and thought i was adding something questionable to the article you reverted it thinking the article would then be in its original state this wasn't the case my edit was the original you somehow saw my edits as disrespectful you saw my change as a deliberate attempt to violate consensus when i thought it was a step in the right direction i saw someone chide me in all caps and reacted defensively pretty natural reaction right neither of us are in the wrong here or both of us are wrad i think the problem is that you mean one thing but say another for example you call this an apology give me a break you're just justifying your actions and insulting me in the process please stop talking to me personally and let's just communicate professionally and respectfully on articles and their talk pages
