A couple of observations:
For someone who is criticizing another's facility with the English
language, your own seems less than perfect. I'm not certain if this is the
result of an agitated state of mind, careless typing errors, or an
imperfect knowledge of English. It seems to me to be worth noting.
Three emails to the list in 20 minutes all on the same topic? Dear lord, I
don't think Michael or DW excite people quite that much. Is it possible
that you are overreacting. One might think that the Wikipedia was in
imminent danger of destruction...
In your first of the three emails you start out by calling her position an
obsession, and you close by calling her a troll. This is not likely to win
you much support among the readers of this list, as it is my understanding
that people who make free accusations of trolling against established
contributors are normally taken with a grain of salt.
That being said, I know precious little about the subject. You may, indeed,
be correct. Nevertheless the tenor of your emails, coupled with their
slapdash appearance, doesn't go very far towards convincing me of the
merits of your argument. Perhaps if you wait until you are in a more calm
frame of mind, you might be a bit more successful in your aim of acquiring
some allies on this issue.
