| Hopefully you are working on not accusing others of making attacks when you yourself have done some too. No one wants the articles here taken over by conspiracy theory silliness. That is simply the way it goes and I applaud anyone who does what they can to stop it. That type of silliness simply wrecks whatever little reliability this website has.--] 21:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC) | Hopefully you are working on not accusing others of making attacks when you yourself have done some too.

Sorry to see you go. In any case, thanks for what was obviously a tremendous effort on your part. DriveBy27 03:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Thomas, I'm sure there are many users who will endorse the summary. Please have a look at this recent discussion.
In my endorsement I would stress on the "evil mechanism" which is in work when users are faced with Mongo's kind of response. Instead of resolving the issue, checking one's own facts, sources, one starts to fight, or abandons the case (this is what Mongo is always hoping for). This is not productive mostly because, as you've pointed out in the summary, one's motives are at stake, not the edit in question. Well, policies WP:FAITH, WP:DBN say it all in essence.
Anyway, it's a sorrow decision from you not to edit anymore. Please come from time to time to make an edit, even if in terrorem of unnecessary comments by, and discussions with, some. SalvNaut 19:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

- I guess we disagree about the degree to which the means justifies the ends. Silliness should be avoided, yes, but not by sacrificing civility. As for whether people who have been incivil in the past should be able to point out that behaviour in others, note that the desired outcome of my RfC is precisely for Mongo to help fight the sort of incivility he consistently practices. If occasionally crossing the line to incivility disqualifies one from criticizing it, then we may as well just give up the norm altogether.
