You mean like this?

"It is difficult to work with someone who repeatedly makes
false claims, and who has a persecution complex."

(In case you've forgotten, this is you writing about Anthere
several weeks ago.)

You'd have a lot more sympathy if you didn't have a long
history of making nasty personal accusations about other
people. You're lucky that Jimbo is an ultra-nice guy; if
I were in charge, both you and Jtdir1 would have been
permanently hard-banned months ago for ad hominem and
abusive remarks to other people.

It's OK to criticize an edit, and even to use nasty words
in the criticism, but you cross the line when you start
applying them to the people directly, and when you impute
vicious motives to people you don't know at all.
