Its been a long time since anyone here did. You may be right. I have been feeling really hurt (I must be more of a softie than I thought) about the topic wide ban. It feels to me like a sort of editing castration. U.S. politics is my primary interest. However, maybe it'll work out to be a good thing as I will be forced to expand my interests.

== About trolling ==

Hi, thanks for pointing out a pattern in the edits from the troll IP. I hadn't seen that pattern, since there are also what look like overriding language problems such as possibly confounding exaggeration with diversification. Certainly, this person shouldn't be trying to edit the English wikipedia, but not all of their edits are incompetent, so it seemed worth a try to explain that which it seemed unlikely that they could comprehend. Perhaps it would be on behalf of whoever has the task of educating them in RL. Onward and upward, or something, but thanks. ] (]) 20:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

== Response ==

::I am happy to edit if it's collegial and collaborative. Not if I am constantly being harassed. Even worse when it gets to my talkpage. I am sorry but a public official barked; I've never heard or seen anyone do this before except in cartoons; it's not a stretch to say it was "irrational". I self-censored to be collegial and collaborative because some editors thought that was inappropriate and you still tried to harass me about this. Please stop. Make this about the content, not personal attacks towards editors. There are lots of references about the barking and her Super PAC advertisement, that's why I brought it up. I'd like you to remove the threat from the talkpage please and if everyone disagrees with me about the barking and we can't reach consensus, of course it won't go in the article despite all the third-party sources. But harassing other editors when you disagree with them has consequences in real life. I am a human being, not a punching bag.] (]) 00:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

::::Thanks for apologizing. I don't feel safe visiting that talkpage at the moment, but honestly I feel sorry about this because we should be able to discuss campaign issues with multiple third-party references lest this becomes a POV campaign ad.
