What happened was that this editor, without discussion, changed the title from On the Jews and their Lies to On the Jews and Their Lies. This needs to be discussed first, but he went ahead and did it anyway. Not sure how to straighten out this mess.--] 18:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

==Sure==
I agreed that my comment wasn't very polite, and you will note that I actually apologized for my clashing with him. However, I noted that you failed to counsel your friend on his incivility and personal attacks towards me. As I am aware of the regular contact and friendship you share with Viriditas, it strikes me as disingenuine for you to single out my edits as uncivil. I am the one who suggested that we both just walk away from each other, and try to avoid editing each other's edits. Unfortunately, he took that heartfelt request as a sign of weakness and went on the offensive. And if you believe that to be a cynical assessment, consider that in almost a year, I have not had ''one single positive interaction'' with him. This isn't the first time he's responded to my offering of an olive branch with a fresh attack. I keep assuming he's become mature enough to simply leave me alone. <br>
The way I see it, if I offer the scanned images of my copy, I am going to prove that - assuming Viriditas' copy is in fact true - there are ''two'' editions, one with and one without the statements in question. Despite his comments to the contrary, the book I own (same edition, same year) doesn't have the passage his does. And then, we will be left with Viriditas' lengthy history of personal attacks and incivility. We all know where a lengthy consideration of that behavior would end up. So I offered Viriditas a choice about how to prompt my proving him wrong, that it isn't some conspiracy by me to discredit him. As has happened before, Viriditas avoids addressing my options and offers the same old (and invalid) arguments over and over - the ''Children of Men'' edits he refers to are almost a ''year'' old. <br>
Some people do not change, and I for one am trying to figure out why he keeps followng my edits, continually stating that I am stupid, wrong, don't get it, etc. etc. etc. He simply isn't worth my time, and it isn't worth my time to play his games unless it will result in him leaving me alone for good. I don't see that happening, do you? <br>
So it begs the question: when I prove that there are in fact two editions, he isn't going to apologize (since he has never done so in 11 months of interaction), he isn't going to be more polite or make fewer personal attacks. Taking time out of my day to service Viriditas' ego (which doing so amounts to, as the citation isn't used in the article) won't serve any purpose, except to negatively impact Viriditas. As his behavior seems to be - for the most part - only obnoxious when responding to my posts (of course, I don't gollow his edits, so I am not sure of his other interactions), it seems like asking for bad karma to take advantage of someone who doesn't appear to have the capability to disengage from a no-win situation. As his friend, perhaps you can assist him with that. I actually think that Viriditas is useful in the articles ''where he and I do not interact'', and do not believe in disposable people. However, his continued behavior, unattended, is going to lead to some rather severe consequences for him eventually. I would rather not be the one to make that happen. I would much rather he simply avoided commenting on my edits, and I his. - ] ] 12:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

==Arbcom Elections==

Hi Mperel. I wanted to respond to your oppose vote on my arbitration candidacy. I have voted in the arbitration elections every other year, and I see no reason not to this year - I care about who I'd be serving alongside if elected, and who would be doing the job if I'm not. As such, I've supported all but one of the candidates currently within a stones throw of being elected - and I initially supported him. I'm concerned that this seems to be perceived as some sort of campaign tactic, when I'm actually supporting all of the people I stand to potentially lose to. ] (]) 22:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:Thank you, Rebecca, for your thoughtful response explaining your actions. You're certainly gutsy (and always have been), which is actually a good attribute for an arbitrator. I'm quite satisfied with your answer above and in the past have generally appreciated your unique and valuable insight on things. I'm always open to changing my mind, and you've convinced me that we could really benefit from having you on Arbcom again. --] 03:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks ==
Although you voted against me in the election, I do thank you for telling me why. It helps a lot to know whether a vote is out of opposition to me or out of support for someone else. :) --] (]) 05:46, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
:And thanks for giving me a second chance! I appreciate very much that you took the time to see what I was about. :) --] (]) 04:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

:And Ditto from me - your explanation for opposition was excellent and certainly no offence taken. I regard it as a perfectly legal and quite clever way of working the system :) -- Regards ] (]) 04:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
