A bear hug for you!

WikiBearHug
We have had, recently, a fair number of in-depth, passionate, but civil, disagreements at RfD and I feel like I should give you a WikiBearHug because I want you to know that, though we disagree, I appreciate your contributions to RfD, your patrolling, and, where applicable, your assistance.

Steel1943, Hi, I've responded to your comment, but with my clarification, I'm wondering if you might be able to remove, climb down from, or otherwise refactor your reply in which you wrote, "...@Dmehus: So, I never once cited or linked WP:RS, so please don't claim that I did; obviously, a third party search engine search is sufficient.

@Dmehus: At Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 January 31#Gavaccino, you said: "There were some interesting points between Steel1943 and I above, but in the grand scheme of the discussion, I don't think it's essential to this redirect's discussion, particularly I've since changed my !vote." Oh wow, what a self-centered statement that comes off as a borderline WP:OWN issue. Wikipedia is a community project, not the Dmehus project. I could honestly care less that my statement had any bearing on your vote; discussions are assessed by closers who implement the consensus and arguments presented by all participants in the discussion. And to invalidate my comments in this regard as inapplicable to figuring out the fate of Gavaccino ... considering that I did my best to stay on-topic until you decided to completely disregard the contents of my statements and then change yours to make it seem like I didn't respond to yours appropriately and, whether intentionally or unintentionally (I really don't care to find out which) have made me sound like an idiot with the way I responded to the comment you changed inappropriately, I have no desire to withdraw my statements and no desire to change anything else that I have stated in that discussion thus far. In fact, at this point, I highly recommend that you do your best to not interact with me anymore as your continuous lack of comprehending discussions, rather-misguided and unclear responses, and now apparently attempts to cover up your tracks to make editors sound like idiots makes me realize that it is not in the least productive to interact with you.
