I initiated this thread, solely for the purpose of clearing up a quote of mine being used out of context. I named no names, and laid no blame. I felt misrepresented by the quote, and wanted to clarify my position, not spark a conflict.

However, I was probably in error for writing the original post to Wikipedia-L, for which I apologise.

Now I am saying - can we drop it completely? Wikipedia-L is really not a forum for sorting out personal disputes, or criticising individuals.

If you want to criticise a decision, or an action, or an article, or discuss a policy, count me in. But I find expressing contempt for any individual, for any reason, to be unacceptable in this forum.

I'm not trying to offend anyone by this, and I truly hope no offence is taken.

Let's just build the 'pedia.

Warm regards

Manning
