*The* *"thing"* *Is* *Not* *The* *Same*. You seem to be consistently
misunderstanding this. Let me try (again) to explain it.
User X makes some edit. User A objects to it. User X disputes user A's
objection. User Y make another, unrelated edit (to a different page).
User A also objects to that edit (for a different reason). User Y
disputes user A's objection.
It is true that both user X and user Y have said "user A's objection
is wrong" - However, they said it *about different objections* !
You claim, in this situation, that both two users have said "the same
thing about" user A, and therefore user A should be concerned that
"several users [are] saying the same thing about" em. Wrong. Only
*one* user has objected to each action.
I look forward to your reply.
