bali ultimate posted the above after not before he reported me to the an i page aren't the rules that he is supposed to discuss his complaint with me first doesn't discuss mean waiting for a reply do i have grounds for complaint about his not telliing me his complaints first and allowing me time to respond about his telling me he'd reported me only after doing so this whole thing is ridiculous his complaint is about me seeking help in formulating a complaint he is angry that i used terms such as 'hostile' in characterizing his editing i was seeking feedback to make my planned an i complaint rule compliant readable and neutral i was going to improve it then post it on his page first that's what i'm supposed to do right or you just have a few words warning like bali did above then go to an i since he reported me immediately to an i i put in my plea for help there without having had an opportunity to improve it was that the advisable thing to do i need help in how to handle this very experienced and hostile editor who is quick to use every wiki procedure against my attempts to seek redress correctly cimcifugia
