`  : You've made a total of 18 edits throughout Wikipedia, which, to me, suggests inexperience, so it is hardly inaccurate to claim that you are new, regardless of how long ago you signed up. Wikipedia policy encourages patience and understanding towards those who are new. Please explain how, precisely, this is being ``condescending.``  I'll admit that some of my early posts here were snarky, but, only in response to such comments as:  :* ``This is blind POV.`` :* ``This is ridiculous.`` :* ``Well, suit yourself. I'll use a citation from the KC Star. If you revert again it will be without valid reason, so take care.`` :* ``You are trying to abuse Wikipedia's policies by claiming that your biased or unreasonable actions have been in line with them. That tactic shouldn't work. It's your attempts to vandalize the article because of irrational bias that I find ridiculous.`` :* ``I think you are trying (unsuccessfully) to cover up your bias and POV by claiming to be on the side of Wikipedia guidelines. That won't work with me, and hopefully it won't work with other people.`` :* ``That means you are lying in the paragraph above when you suggest this is original research, unsupported claims, or laziness. And you know you are. Well, great. I hope you're happy. Perhaps you've violated the 3-reverts rule by now?`` :-   `
