`  ::Kate, I am sorry to answer this here, but Ryan has already stated she would not respond to me.  Please note the following: ##All of my comments above are true, reasonable, and fair. ##My comment to Ryan was a response to her accusation that my 5RR report on her was ``retribution.``  It was not; it was in good faith, she fueled an edit war that got the page blocked; I stand behind my report.  The page's edit history speaks for itself. ##I never mentioned your name; it was Dmcdevit you chastised her. ##All comments I have left on Ryan's page, she has blanked out  once with the words ``complete bullshit`` in the edit summary, once calling them ``offensive`` but not explaining how they were offensive. ##Ryan has never responded to me on my talk page, however; although she is welcome to. ##And yes, she does like to call everything she doesn't like an ``attack.``  It is rhetoric, nothing more. ##When Ryan loses an argument, she says ``I will not respond to you,`` making it impossible to have a reasonable discussion. ##Ryan is welcome to address me directly, on my talk page, any time she wishes.  If she does, I will respond. ##If Ryan still disputes that she made 5RR in less than 19 hours, if would be happy to discuss it with her.  If she stops bringing it up, I will.  If she continues to mischaracterize it as ``retribution,`` I will respond.     `
