 It doesn't matter; I think I understand what you're trying to teach me, but even if I don't I appreciate your effort, so thanks! I could better explain why I thought you rejected WP:CIVILITY, but that's not important, and I would just be dragging stale diffs into it, which I agree is a distasteful time-sink. If I've misjudged you I sincerely apologize. I'll be more careful about that in the future.
