Philosophy of "RationalWiki"

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Let me clear this up for a second: the only reason I reverted is because I thought you were making significant changes to the article that seemed very radical for the time based on the old tone of the article. Once I actually had a chance to read everything that you had done with the article, and look everything up, I abandoned my reverts based on the fact that I liked what I saw for the end result. I will cede that you were right: having looked into it more, it isn't really as much about conspiracy as I was under the assumption it was. And if I came off as kind of a prick before I had a chance to explain what was going on (i.e: I had to work and leave RW) then I apologize. But in the future, please don't assume that, just because I am doing something you don't like, I am doing so in bad faith. On the contrary, I was actually, genuinely wondering why you were making the changes in tone you were making and, once I figured it out, I was OK with it all.

Oh I see, no worries :) I'm just trying to help this be as objective as possible. But I'm seeing other people adding a lot of personal opinions on there, guess I'm gonna have to follow this for a while and work on each problem I see (re)appearing.

Thanks for clearing it up, I appreciate it.

Glad to see you understand where I was coming from. :-) As I've told countless people over the years: just because you are engaged in an edit battle doesn't mean that it is all out war. The best way to go about handing what seems to be a conflict on the Wiki is to try and see where the other party is going first. To eb honest, I'm glad you brought it here so I could clear things up.
