You have made five comments so far at the Kubrick RFC. Please carefully consider whether you need to further respond anymore. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 19:26, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry, is commenting not allowed in surveys? I'll discontinue if it's not, but I don't understand what the issue is - there's a discussion section for a reason, no? To add to this, the RFC article clearly states that Responses may be submitted in a variety of formats. Some RfCs are structured as a series of distinct responses, one per editor. Others result in a threaded (indented) conversation involving multiple editors. Yet others offer one or more alternative proposals that are separately endorsed or opposed by editors using a polling process. Other RfCs combine polling with threaded discussions.

 * [Thank you for the ping] It's not that commenting is not allowed. My concern is that you are (in my opinion) beginning to excessively comment in an area of the project that historically experienced a lot of toxicity and disruption despite the relative peacefulness there at the moment. You should not feel the need to respond to every Option B proponent, and failing that you should not feel the need to respond to the same proponent more than once. Sometimes, it is best to just some things go without a response or let other people have a say.
 * I am not an admin, and (even if I was) I don't think your behavior is even close to sanctionable right now. However, you should know that I feel that it does more harm than good at this point (especially when consensus is already leaning your way). &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 06:22, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * OK makes sense, thanks :) Acalycine (talk) 06:26, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
