This
conversation seems to be getting a little steeped in "attack"
mode, doesn't it?
That was an honest, legitimate hypothetical question of mine. I
addressed it primarily to Will, and secondarily to everybody. I never
mean to attack anyone. I wouldn't live with my conscious if I had
lived a life like that. If I did unintentionally attack *anyone*, then
I owe an apology to Will and the list that I'm offering now.
I apologise for making it unclear that I was talking about the tone of
the conversation as a whole rather than your comments specifically.
So my question
at this point in the debate would be to ask myself
why someone who lives "in a place where there isn't any library for
hours (or days even)" would be overly bothered about verifying
right that second.
I didn't mean to imply that they would be bothered about verifying
references right that second. I was starting to read into this debate
(and maybe it's just me) that every Wikipedian should be bothered
about verifying right that second. I was proven wrong when Will
pointed out that that wasn't his point.
My apologies for not having got to that point in the conversation at the
time I replied.
