Disingenuous

There are always at least two sides to a story, Nx. And in this case likely many more. Unless I'm missing some specific moment when Human started targeting you for abuse or whatever starts these beefs, you and he are two of the worst people on RW to try to take the high ground against each other. If you have any interest in my assistance, I would be pleased to help explain Human's position to you as well as I understand it. I've talked with him a lot about how he feels about RW and how starting last year it turned his stomach to see sniping remarks from you on his talk page and elsewhere. I'm sure it cuts both ways and that you have your own recollection. I'm sort of guessing you've been saving diffs. I'm not going to bring my personal feelings about you into this other than to make one single point that anyone else could make just as well. The personal observation is that you seem to revel in conflict. It's not only things like predictably being drawn to any conflict to fan the flames, but seeming to almost need conflict so much that you do things to set the stage for what you know or should know will entail hours or days of fallout. I'm sure you disagree. And I'm sure you're finding it hard to resist your typical response of tossing me a tu quoque and ignoring everything I've said. The point is that, perceptions being what they are, it's pretty hard to be right all the time and it may not even matter if you are. If you've got specific criticisms of aspects of Human or anyone else's behavior that are upsetting you enough that you find yourself acting out, make them. I don't think anyone really cares if you're angry about it for a good reason that they can generally follow, but at least communicate an idea worth communicating man! Nobody cares if you think Human is a dick.

If you've got specific criticisms of aspects of Human or anyone else's behavior that are upsetting you enough that you find yourself acting out, make them. Yes, yes I do. I did make them. And I also have criticism of Ace's behavior, and I did make them too. Remember all those Chicken coop cases? And what has that accomplished? Nothing.

You want some diffs? Here. That's what turns my stomach.

I figured you were saving diffs somewhere. That must really suck for you. I wasn't asking for you to point at another bunch of diffs and tell me how revolting Huw and Ace are. I told Ace to keep bringing your weird blocks and hectoring up because it's a simple truism that he's not responsible for your behavior and you really and truly were straight up abusing your authority and being an asshole about it. That's what I mean about addressing specific criticisms. I don't know why you'd mention the coop as some kind of justification. You've been there as much and for far greater abuses; you gain nothing by trying to take some kind of moral high ground with a record as spotty as yours. You remarkably survived getting tagged for huge breaches of trust by abusing your server rights, but you want to squander your last remaining good will by keeping up a grudge match you can't win even if you win? Huw and Ace are going to be the only winners if you keep up your present course, Ace obviously a lot more than Human. Just email me your response. I'd like to talk to you but you're not doing well out in the open. Unlike you, I'll respect your confidence and not misrepresent your private communication to me in a broadcast to the entire wiki.

I'll respect your confidence and not misrepresent your private communication to me in a broadcast to the entire wiki. What are you talking about? You're upset over this?
