I just issued an NPA warning to a user on their talk page. They responded with a rant and posted the exchange on (1) their talk page, (2) my talk page and (3) an article discussion page.
I am sure it doesn't need to be in three places at once and I am tempted to delete the response from at least the article discussion page but this is a delicate situation and I don't really want to make a mistake here. Or do I post my response in the same three places? Or replace two of the places with links.
What is the "correct" response in this situation?
Thanks, SimonB

I'd say replace the copies on your talk page and the article discussion with links to the user's talk page. Replying to all three is inviting a forest fire.

I agree. I just removed it from the article talk page citing the same forest fire reason.
Simon - it would help if you gave links in future to explain what you're talking about. :)

Hi Angela,
Really appreciate your intervention and the advice of others who have replied. I think I can safely add a link to my own talk page to the other talk page.
I will post specific links in future, thanks for the advice.
Thanks & regards, bksimonb
