Your repeated personal attacks on the MoMK Article

I generally don't believe in using Admins to enforce civility through a formal review process because I believe reasonable people should be able to interact reasonably. However, please consider this message a warning that your repeated personal attacks on the Murder of Meredith Kercher article are not helpful, especially on an article where tensions have been so inflamed in the past.LedRush (talk) 13:41, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, of course it's time for you to escalate to threats. Hipocrite (talk) 13:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

While the threat of action is there, I prefer to look at it as a friendly reminder of Wikipedia policy and a hopeful attempt to rein back an impending flame war.LedRush (talk) 14:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

It takes two to tango. If you see an impending flame war, where is your other friendly reminder, exactly? Hipocrite (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

As of now, you're the only one flaming. However, tensions on the board have run hot in the past. It's best not to wait until someone thinks that your posts justify personal attacks by them.LedRush (talk) 14:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Kercher

Would you mind making proposals to add or delete significant info, first on the talk page? Given your return and strong opinions, it might keep the editing environment a bit more navigable if you tried to check in with others first. If you prefer to WP:Be bold, that can work, but you asked to have discussion follow your edits, while under WP:BRD they would likely be reverted before the discussion took place, assuming you didn't make an effort to discuss the initial changes before you made them.

I asked to have discussion follow someone reverting my edits, per BRD. Hipocrite (talk) 16:13, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I read this, "I have made this change, and would hope that when/if it is reverted, the reverter will discuss here," too quickly. My bad. I think the general tone is till a bit too heated, and not just from you. Whatever keeps things a bit less tense should help us work on the actual editorial/policy/sourcing issues.
