Being railroaded will do that to a guy, but thanks for understanding.
he keeps making
attacks on even the people who are trying to work with
him,
I've attacked nobody here; I am defending myself and correcting
misconceptions. You, on the other hand, have attacked me several
times, calling me a "supercilious jerk" in the first contact between us.
What's YOUR problem?
you keep saying, "He's just a newbie that we
need
to make concessions to." He objects to the idea that
he's a newbie and claims to have been around for about
a year and half. He therefore knows the Wikipedia
philosophy of Wikiquette and assume good faith, and
I assumed good faith and it was overwhelmed by evidence. The offending
party's courtly manners while performing his bad faith is no more mitigating
than saying "please" and "thank you" mitigates rape (yes, I know,
that's
another reductio ad absurdum; just assume good faith).
yet he continues to write these nasty emails in which
he's the only person right in the entire world.
I've read my emails. Have you? This tautological assertion doesn't seem
to reflect that.
