[edit] Moti article

Thank you for your edits, but in future I'd be grateful if you didn't jump to hasty, insulting and ridiculous conclusions. There were absolutely no grounds for you to suggest that my phrasing was intended as "Aussie-bashing", or, for that matter, that it was in any way POV. I've lived in Australia, I've always found Australians to be very friendly, and in any case I would never use Wikipedia as a forum to push a particular POV (as my contributions should indicate). If you're aware of the recent history of bilateral relations between the Solomons and Australia (under the Sogavare and Howard governments), you'll know that Sogavare has made a number of statements alleging ulterior motives for Australia's involvment with RAMSI. Although I tend to be highly sceptical of Sogavare's views (rather than the reverse!), I am definitely not trying to say that he's correct or incorrect in his allegations. What I wrote was merely recording the fact that he made those allegations, which is noteworthy because he has a history of making such statements. I'll thank you in advance to be more cautious in future, and not to make allegations that are utterly unfounded, insulting and downright absurd. Aridd (talk) 15:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies Aridd, I didn't assume Good Faith and thought it was other users playing funny buggers again with this article (Which has happened beforehand). That being the background, it's still no excuse for my not assuming good faith on the part of the edit - misquoting happens all time completely innocently and I should've assumed it was an honest mistake. You have my unreserved and complete apology for any offence I may have caused you - I can assure you that was never my intent... I should've just made the edit, noted that the quote omitted the reference to the RSIP and left it at that. Again, I'm very sorry and will make that apology public if you wish it so. For the record, I've always found your edits to be very sound, reasonable and balanced, and a welcome contribution to an article that has had some "problem-contributions".

Apology accepted, of course. There's no need to "make it public". And I'd like to thank you for your edits and contributions in general. Aridd (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
