For context: A post on was made on the BLP noticeboard regarding Bangladeshi diplomat Saida Muna Tasneem from an associate asking to remove information about an embarassing incident in 2004 where Tasneem was recalled from the United Nations after her husband spent a large amount of money at a strip club which he said was fraudulent. I and Nomoskedasticity agreed that the specifics should be removed, as they did not directly relate to Tasneem diff. Nomoskedasticity made the edits diff which reduced the paragraph down to "The Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs recalled Tasneem from her posting to Bangladesh's United Nations mission in June 2004" the wording of the BBC report made it clear that the recall was directly to do with the strip club row, rather than anything to do with Tasneem's conduct, so I made an addition of "for issues unrelated to her conduct" to clarify the wording, which could be considered misleading otherwise. diff. Joel B. Lewis undid the edit, saying in his edit summary that "this is a terrible addition" diff

Joel B. Lewis then pinged me on the talk page and gave me an extended edit summary diff which I found to be condescending stating that it was "personal interpretation" despite that BBC news title said it was "over" the row. I accept that in retrospect that the link was not definitively proved in the article body, but the edit was made in good faith to avoid misleading negative statements in a BLP. As it was three in the morning and I was in a foul mood I snapped back. diff calling the comment "rude" and "asinine", which in retrospect was uncivil and I apologise for. I then subsequently moved the thread to the BLP noticeboard as I thought that the discussion was better served by being linked to the main BLP thread, where there were more eyes and potential contributors to solve the issue. diff diff Joel B. Lewis took umbrage about the fact that I moved his comment and crossed out the discussion on the BLP noticeboard diff and undid my removal from the talk page diff

Joel B. Lewis then opened up a section on my talk page, again in a condescending tone stating that I did not comprehend the first sentence of his discussion on the talk page diff. I did, I interpreted that the "this is a terrible addition" was merely the opening statement of his full edit summary rather than that comment retracting it. I then gave a reply again trying to clarify why I didn't like the tone of the edit summary and asking for kindness diff. Joel B. Lewis replied that I had a "lack of grace" for not accepting his non-apology and accusing me of engaging in "aggressive whining". diff

I ask that both Joel and I be admonished for incivility and for not assuming good faith.
