Revision as of 04:27, 27 May 2021
Please step back, take a deep breath, and try to practice AGF
Geogene, When an editor says "that is not what I said" or "you misunderstood what I said", replying by insisting that you know what I said better than I do is simply unacceptable. It is entirely possible that I did not explain my point as well as I could, but that does not excuse your behavior. Also, the idea that I have "lost" an "argument" about what I said is...c'mon man, surely you can see how bizarre that sounds, right? Take a deep breath, step back, and try to remember that this is a collaborative project. And please do not attempt to tell me, or any other editor, what our comments mean again.

- Okay, @Hyperion35: let's talk about this post [1].
- you tried to ping me, apparently to make damn sure I saw it (even though I was already very active on that page, and had been replying to you consisently)
I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT RS OR MEDRS STANDARDS
shoutingLemme give you a tip: when someone says "you misunderstood what I said", your response should not be to immediately tell me what I said.
Overt condescension, unsolicited "life advice" given in an aggressive contextI am giving you a chance to strike
demanding a gesture of submissionyour bad faith
AGF violationpersonal attack
perhaps?trollish comment
