::The comment, {{tq|To pretend like an RFC on a different topic provides you with some sort of backing on this topic is ... based on nothing}} might be inelegant prose, but I can't see a personal attack there.

:::'Pretending' should not be there, Nableezy. I've quietly noted for over a decade that editors generally use 'disingenuous' to make the same point, and even admins, (not SFR to my knowledge), find nothing problematical in the latter, which implies 'pretending'. The reason we bridle at the former, and not the latter, is that generally people don't appear to know '''precisely''' what 'disingenuous' means. But a very experienced editor, esp. in the technicalities, like BilledMammal, certainly did 'try and make out' that one RfC supported another RfC when the two were self-evidently unrelated. I think we would save ourselves a lot of time if we didn't make major issues out of fine print generally. It only makes for the usual [[Sturm und Drang]] in a teacup, which can be put to better uses, like studying the physics of a meniscus.[[User:Nishidani|Nishidani]] ([[User talk:Nishidani|talk]]) 14:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
