Talk:Bill Potts#See also section

I would like to point out to you that the 4 responses you have posted since I joined this discussion, you have personally attacked me in all of them and I don't think its been justified:

  • I see the names have been removed again albeit by a different editor. I won't revert it because I don't wish to engage with Alex in his/her favoured passtime (i.e., edit warring), but I will note that I suspect meat puppetry is at work here, since Dresken has offered an identical argument to the one given by Alex, and like him/her, Dresken has also offered a poor interpretation of WP:DABABBREV. Bill is not an abbreviations, an initial or an acronym of William, and I think you're both guilty of editing in bad faith. Alex, your reply to my suggestion above seems to suggest you're arguing for argument's sake. I believe, though I doubt I can prove it, that you feel this strengthens your case for having Bill Potts as the primary topic. All you're doing, however, is giving Misplaced Pages a bad name, and in turn also giving Doctor Who fans a bad reputation, as your username ties you to the programme. Shame on you.
  • When an editor with less than a thousand edits, and who edits occasionally, jumps into a discussion with a near identical argument, then that's suspicious behaviour. Meanwhile, for the second time today your comments appear to contain the hint of a threat. Chill, cobber!
  • Outside opinion sounds like a great idea. I had thought of it myself, but wasn't sure what the procedure would be as it involves more than one person. Happy for you to file a request there, if you're planning to do that. As for the collusion stuff, things got a bit heated earlier on, largely because I didn't like Alex's tone, which did sound like an intent to intimidate ("The quicker you do, the nicer you might find your experience here on Misplaced Pages" being an example). I suspect it's like you say – a case of Whoville vs the rest. They probably need to get out a bit more.
  • My thoughts exactly, though after my earlier skirmish with them I didn't want to be the first to say it. I'm also starting to think they might be the Crackers 'n' Smash of Misplaced Pages.

I have prompted you to be more civil a few times now - I am sorry that I do not agree with your view on this matter. I would be happy to continue on with a civil discussion if you would like to as well. Cheers, Dresken (talk) 02:46, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
