A friendly note

It is very likely that we will be editing same articles for months to come, and to tell you the truth, it sucks all the fun out of it to have a combative approach to editing,. You may not like the way I or other edits, you may assume the worst from others, it is all up to you. But rather than taking this approach, that will stress you out to no end, take it easy, Misplaced Pages does not need you or I. Take a break, if you must, but please be kind to others, and try to be concise. No one likes to read wall-to-wall text and no one likes tantrums. - Cwobeel (talk) 03:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

And, of course, these words of advice apply to you also. I encourage you to follow your own advice.--ML (talk) 14:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Cwobeel: I will stress to you that the comments from the admin yesterday did not just apply to me but also to you. The specific comments that applied also to you include: (1) "I hope that these editors can stay away from each other a bit more." and (2) "Focus on the issues." (and the comments above have nothing to do with the issues.) and (3) "It is in their best interest to tone that down some--it makes working with other editors that much easier. And that, of course, goes for everyone involved here" (everyone involved here includes you). Best,--ML (talk) 14:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

I guess that one reads what one wants to read. - Cwobeel (talk) 17:10, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Eyes

I'd appreciate some eyes at the Jared Fogle article along with some wisdom and help insofar as policy and dealing with a stubborn newbie editor who is truly testing my patience. Edit warring is going on, too. Take a look at the most recent discussion section on the talk page and the most recent edit warring and aggressive edits, if you would. It will likely shed light on what's going on. Thanks,-- WV ● ✉ ✓ 04:04, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I'll take a look. - Cwobeel (talk) 04:08, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

ROFL Misplaced Pages:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Josh Duggar - Cwobeel (talk) 14:43, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Correct

You are right. My assessment? A complete prick. Only here to win and goad, not create and improve an encyclopedia. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 06:47, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Exactly. I will most definitively not take the bait. He enjoys the drama to no end and I will not give it that benefit. - Cwobeel (talk) 13:26, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Nice. ;-) -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I did look into the issue(s) you two have had in the past out of curiosity and to see if I could find a behavior pattern. Didn't have to look far to find that pattern. All I can say is "Wow" and am forced to wonder why the community has put up with such behavior for too long. Definitely the worst of the dark underside of Misplaced Pages. Clever and tricky along with conniving and dishonest, but not always the brightest bulb on the tree when allowing true motives shine through through what's being said. This is the kind of person I look at and wonder, "With the talents you obviously possess, why not use them for good instead of hurting others?" Plenty of books have been written about that type of personality, and a lot of them are on my bookshelves. Take care, stay away. No good can come of ever getting sucked back into that again. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:38, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
