You were the first to use the phrase "personal attack." My first thought was that this was an odd bit of misdirection. Later I wondered if you were a shill.


 * WP:AGF Accusing others of bad faith
 * Making accusations of bad faith can be inflammatory and hence these accusations may be unhelpful in a dispute. It can be seen as a personal attack if bad faith motives are alleged without clear evidence that others' editing is actually in bad faith. The result is often accusations of bad faith on your part, which tends to create a nasty cycle.

Therefore, it is NOT a personal attack if clear evidence is offered showing that Nick Dowling's editing is actually in bad faith. I did attempt to offer that proof along with a query about how else to proceed, but you refused even to listen.

 * (b) "... allegations that Nick Dowling is intentionally mischaracterizing the issue ..."

PERSONAL ATTACK: " ... timeline which informed my modest decision to cross out "with all do respect". What you construed as unsupportable allegations were simply a matter of record.  Some questions are disingenuous -- regrettable sure, but there you have it. This gambit affected my assessment of Nick Dowling's credibility, which becomes relevant in this context. In the face of a difficult reality, my words have been seemly, appropriate, correct. --Tenmei (talk) 15:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Tenmei, I consider your above comments on me to be both uncivil and offensive and request that they cease. Nick Dowling (talk) 02:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
