Friendly advice

I've closed the ANI thread. Most of the complaints by the block-evading IP were barely comprehensible but I wanted to give you some advice because if an editor in good standing had taken the time to put together a case at WP:AE, you could have found yourself in hot water. Please be more aware of how you conduct yourself in controversial topic areas, especially when discussions start to get heated. Please also take extra special care when writing about living people. Note that if an editor's conduct consistently or egregiously falls below the standard expected, the Contentious Topic procedures (which apply to BLPs and post-1992 American politics) allow administrators to unilaterally impose blocks, topic bans, or other restrictions as necessary. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:25, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @HJ Mitchell:. I have to point out one thing - the only edit I made to a BLP wasn't even on an article that the reporting editor had worked on, and THAT edit was quickly and very amicably resolved here. I took Larry's points and agreed with him. The two pro-right-wing editors looking to impose their POV somewhere else just tacked that on to make me look bad.

The same also works in reverse. If you want to make a case that their editing is disruptive, you can make your case at ANI or WP:AE and it'll be evaluated. Both have been informed of the CTOP procedures. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Not really interested in reporting them. I was surprised by the ANI attack, because they had indicated that they would take my advice and start an RfC. My belief is that they both knew they'd be alone in pushing their right-wing-influenced POV and the RfC would go heavily against their preferred text - so they chose to attempt an attack on me personally instead.

You've been given good advice. You need to tone it down. It's clear these two editors work together, but so do other editors with differing views. Doug Weller talk 09:18, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
