Abortion - death

Take a look at the Abortion lede. Someone is trying to change it again. 67.233.18.28 (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, long time no talk to. What on earth are you thinking with your block/ban threats and posts like this? that's insulting to anyone on the page who might hold a differing view, and encourages similar behavior from others less experienced. If you're too time pressed to phrase your posts in a more civil fashion, maybe you need to post a little less? Just a thought, please do consider your actions on that talk page though.

I take your point on being an example, but with JJL there's another example to be made. Look before you leap. And with my follow up I made it plain this wasn't about disagreement; its about the wholesale presumptuousness on their part. Despite their good intentions they insulted many things and people by that edit; saying as much would have been more diplomatic yes... but the pace of redundant discussions indicated to me enough time had been spent on soft selling. Boldly going forward with a self made consensus is something I would ban from abortion; so I said as much "could" happen, in the end I asked them to do the right thing. There is a cost to us collectively by civilly entertaining, every notion, by everyone, all the time. It's a slow death to good editors / moreover it burns their time. I've taken a long hiatus from the abortion article, and I'll take it again... soon.

If they win the day, I'll apologize to NW and JJL for my tone, if they don't... they should take it as a lesson learned. - Roy Boy 19:48, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
