Editing My User Page
I don't expect anyone to read this, but if you do, thanks. After I posted my user page, within hours someone felt the need to copy edit it. I appreciate that, but I feel that it was rather insulting. Please, post on my talk page. Don't touch my user page. I am a competent English speaker and can correct my own mistakes. Thanks. Timmietimtim314 (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear 'Timmietimtim314',
 * Well, I certainly didn't mean to insult you, but since you feel insulted, then I can only apologize for causing you to feel this way; it was never my intent. I did think of posting a new section in your Talk page, but since it was still showing in red and had therefore never been edited before, I wasn't sure whether you'd notice.
 * Finally, I honestly thought that you'd value the correction of a small typo ['It's' > 'Its'], especially since this is one that originators don't tend to 'see' (otherwise, they would obviously correct it there and then.)
 * Once again, please accept my apologies for any offence I might have caused, which would never have been my intent. I am hopeful we could become good friends here at the encyclopedia. In any case: welcome to our community of editors and all very best wishes with your future contributions.
 * With kind regards for now;

 * I realize I'm hypersensitive about critique, so I don't want to make my first Wikipedia impression one of "I'm entirely heartless." I was clearly overreacting. I do value the correction! I'm afraid I'm the one who should be apologizing here, so accept my apologies in return; I should have just allowed it and moved on. Well, I've left a message on my user page about editing (I'll go back and rephrase it for tone) because I still do prefer a user page's 'sanctity.' Regardless, any fault here is mine. You are an exceptional editor here, as I can see from your contributions and awards! Timmietimtim314 (talk) 20:37, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear 'Timmietimtim314',
 * Thank you very much for your prompt and thoughtful reply. Your initial reaction was entirely justified and understandable; you are absolutely right about 'user page sanctity' and, had it not been for your Talk page still being unedited, I would certainly have approached you there first. What I have learnt from this episode is that, next time I am in an identical situation, I will definitely initiate the first section in the user's Talk page, and then also issue a TalkBack to make sure s/he sees it.
 * But I also really appreciate your desire to clear the air and I fully embrace the sentiment; so, we shall indeed be good friends here at the wiki, which is great!
 * I am sure you will do good work here, and I wish you as much joy as I continue to derive from helping to make our encyclopedia the wonderful facility it should be. So, once again: very best wishes to you, and please feel free to keep in touch if you wish.
 * With kind regards for now, in friendship;
 * Patrick. ツ Pdebee. (talk) 20:59, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
