Case in point - something people disagree with gets twisted into an entirely separate perception. On this issue, Guettarda misrepresented me from the start and continues to do so, and the myth persists. Even if I was wrong - and later consensus on the page decided that long term relevance didn't exist and I dropped it - this is what defines me for him. I have to deal with that, and that's fine.
This is indeed a problem. It is quite possible to have a legitimate difference of opinion while still respecting each other, but in some cases false inferences (and in other cases legitimate ones) can be drawn. I'm not going to be drawn on which applies here, since I don't actually recall the incident. There are some legitimate differences which are also legitimate bases for opposing an RFA, others which I don't think are, and position on the inclusionism spectrum is one of those, in my view. I perhaps subscribe more to the "no big deal" philosophy than some, though.
