*The* *"thing"* *Is* *Not* *The* *Same*.  You seem to be consistently 
misunderstanding this.  Let me try (again) to explain it.

User X makes some edit.  User A objects to it. User X disputes user A's 
objection.  User Y make another, unrelated edit (to a different page).  
User A also objects to that edit (for a different reason). User Y 
disputes user A's objection.

It is true that both user X and user Y have said  "user A's objection 
is wrong" - However, they said it *about different objections* !

You claim, in this situation, that both two users have said "the same 
thing about" user A, and therefore user A should be concerned that 
"several users [are] saying the same thing about" em.  Wrong.  Only 
*one* user has objected to each action.

I look forward to your reply.
