You have shown no evidence that you are willing to do this. I am still
waiting for you to respond to a number of postings detailing the problems
posed by your proposals (both on the talk pages and on the mailing list).
Since you have failed to respond so far, I'm still concerned about these
very same things.

This is wrong. You made proposals advocating sweeping changes to an article.
Then, I responded explaining why I was skeptical, which was the proper route
for me to take. You never responded to my points. Instead, you assumed right
off the bat that I'm not "very good at collaborating" because I had concerns
about your approach to reorganizing an article that you yourself admit to
never having read. This is where the break in the rational-give-and-take
first appeared.
