Hi there
Thanks for your message on my talk page. Hope we can work together on the human rights article. Peace. BrandonYusufToropov 13:19, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi again
Yes. I reserve the right to delete messages that, in my sole and perhaps arbitrary judgment, I perceive as hostile. But when I start a pattern of communicating politely with people, rest assured I stop deleting their messages. That's what I'm trying to do here, by the way.

I do hope you and I can work together productively on articles here. Please do stay in touch. Peace, BrandonYusufToropov 02:21, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Attacks in VfD
I'm sorry you're getting such hateful treatment at Votes for deletion/Human rights in the United States. It is not Wikipedia policy to ban or otherwise discipline new users for overlooking the NPOV policy and the Content disclaimer. You've seen that escalatory remarks from the voters do not help dialogue, and although it is tempting to respond in kind, it's better to let them pass. Gazpacho 02:55, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
