[WikiEN-l] Model of decorum: the zero-revert rule

Wed Feb 16 19:46:01 UTC 2005

I had this rewarding interchange with Professor Rubenstein:

Also, thank you for your explanation on Cultural Relativism -- now I see
that it was a misunderstanding and I am sorry I was curt. I responded to
you on the talk page and hope you will continue the conversation,

Steve had reverted one of my edits. (You know what a rarity that is, for
ME to get reverted; oh, the pain, the pain, as Dr. Smith used to say.)
My first impulse was to revert him right back, after all, I get up to
reverts per 24 hours, may as well use up my quota, eh?  

But a sudden thought seized me: why not refuse to revert at all? Check
it out:

Instead of making an enemy, I solidified an old friendship. It's all
about team-building, folks.
