[edit] Unnecessary escalation

First, my sincerest apologies for your offence to my Benedict XVI comments. I assure you it was neither my intent nor the outcome for you to be personally attacked. It is a fine line editors have to walk here; many wrongly think saying "Your logic is wrong here" is a personal attack, so sometimes I try to soften that in various ways; I regret my choice struck a raw nerve of yours. And please note that saying you "pretend"ed does not at all imply being out of touch with reality, indeed quite the opposite as that action is voluntary. Regardless of that though, sorry you took it so hard. I do regret that you didn't ask me to clarify my wording; you did say "sounds like", after all. In the spirit of my title of this section, in the future I would ask you to please ask for clarification about serious possibilities like that.

Second, the next step of a two editor dispute is to discuss on the relevant article's talk page with full participation of the community. (One could argue it should have gone there much earlier in our discussions, but all will end up the same eventually). It would be counterproductive to send this one to arbitration now, because the likely first thing that will be asked is, well what happened when consensus was sought? I will point this out on Talk too. Indeed that is why I brought it to Talk; you were not even perceiving my arguments at all (let me politely rephrase: you have shown me no evidence that you do) and perhaps only a consensus viewing of both sets would allow for distinction between them (or perhaps even a better third alternative; do not underestimate the intelligence of some of the common editors of that article!)

Let's please chill our jets. We both want a better article, indeed a better encyclopedia, don't we? Let's carry on. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 19:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a note

You said on ANI that you didn't know how to find out how someone is blocked. Here's how: first, you can go to someone's contributions page and click the "block log" button at the top. For instance, your log is here, and it shows that (a) you're not currently blocked, and (b) you've not been blocked in the past. Second, alternatively, you can visit Special:Ipblocklist, which is a searchable list of all currently blocked users. HTH! >Radiant< 09:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
