` :::::::I believe people do not change, and that a person's perspective is an innate and unchanging element of the soul, which is created and raised by the material circumstances of a person's existence. An ``artificial soul``, in the words of Dickens' Mr Bumble. There is no ``convincing`` anyone of anything. It is simply impossible. Either people understand, or they do not. That's the way the world has always worked.  :::::::Regardless, there is no obligation to be friendly (this is not a ``social media``). Certain people are worth ignoring, and the fellow that started this inquisition is one of those people. I am perfectly within my power to remove his comments from my page. I do not believe that he was acting in good faith. I simply do not. He wasn't, quite clearly. He was attempting to remove an obstacle, and he succeeded. It is all a matter of strategy. We must assume good faith, but that doesn't mean we must be ignorant of bad faith. I find it hard to believe you can block me for ``harassment`` when I've never engaged with this editor, at all. I refused to do so. If anything, his behaviour was harassment. He made trumped-up charges on my talk page, continually posted here despite my wishes to the contrary, and then ran to AN/I with no basis whatsoever. There are no grounds for a block of any kind, and that is simple. You must unblock me at once.  —  `
