i am not your friend sorry that said i don't believe that i ever insinuated that your edits were partisan i noted that editing was going on which was partisan and i believe that to be an accurate statement in fact a casual perusal of the edit history with regard to the retired was forced to retire issue substantiates that i have already stood behind my allegation above and i continue to do so now as far as evidence goes i tender your complete lack of interest in any pages of any outgoing incumbents all of which reflect the same status beyond this one is this because you and west share a military background is it because both you and he are professed conservatives i don't pretend to know but as i stated your interest in this page and only this page with regard to this concept is suggestive i do not have a reactionary mentality what i also do not have is a subservient mentality which seems to be what is required here in that regard i am abandoning further interest in this article not because i do not believe it to be in need of heightened accuracy but because i believe that further discussion about it is pointless in parting i would suggest working on your people skills this is not a dictatorship and treating people who try to contribute with contempt and derision is not a productive strategy food for thought
