Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Muboshgu. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. This comment is some bullshit. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:39, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Muboshgu, tell me if I said anything untrue so I can apologize. Sailing californium (talk) 16:50, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You levied a personal attack and are not assuming good faith, so yes, you should apologize. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, I apologize for the personal attack. I believe you operate with good faith, honesty and sincerity of intention. I think you honestly do not believe America is the greatest country on earth. I can tell because you're always putting it down, and you don't deny feeling this way. Sailing californium (talk) 17:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not playing into your comment directly, which was some ridiculous Bush/Cheney '04 framing. Why should I? I find it funny how you apologize for the personal attack and then repeat the personal attack. That's not how apologies work. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:13, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, You are participating in a voluntary conversation. I think Nissan cars are great, I don't like HP computers, and I love America. You should be able to identify which car, computer, and country is the best. You don't have to share my preferences, but you should have a preference and an argument.

"Assuming good faith" means not assuming someone who disagrees with you "hates America". I can love my country while hating what is being done to it. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:59, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu I apologize for saying that you do not like America. I do not believe you rank it as the best nation on earth. Sailing californium (talk) 18:14, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you have no earthly idea how I "rank" nations, nor does it matter whether or not I would "rank" the United States as #1. I can tell you that we are #1 in reported COVID-19 cases and deaths, and that I am disengaging from this conversation because you don't understand the concept of an "apology". – Muboshgu (talk) 18:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, If I was wrong you would have told me instead of clutching pearls. "how dare you sir! I am both shocked, and appalled." Yeah, okay. I apologize again for saying that you do not like America. I was wrong. You said you do, you just don't think it's the best. That's fine. I enjoyed speaking with you.
