Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:Steve Sailer. Here is Misplaced Pages's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Misplaced Pages! Thank you very much!

While I will not defend all of Spork Wielder's conduct (calling other editors "intellectual mediocrities" certainly isn't productive), I do want note that their responses were not entirely unprovoked. The "intellectual mediocrities" comment was in response to the insinuation that editors are acting in bad faith, holding beliefs "because of errors such as overgeneralization, cherry picking, wishful thinking, or for ideological reasons". Additionally, their earlier criticism of Generalrelative was well-founded: they did cherry-pick from a source, failing to include the context that "plenty of scholars remain unpersuaded"; and they did misrepresent that source as an editorial, when in fact it was not. These errors may have been unintentional, but I don't see how it was a violation of WP:NPA to call them out.
I urge both sides to please remain civil and dial down the intensity level in this discussion, so we can work together and improve the article together. Stonkaments (talk) 18:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
