Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
"Courtesy ping" is an oxymoron. I would like the courtesy of being left alone to do my tasks in peace.
I do not like arguing. I do not want to argue. I do not instigate arguments. There is almost nothing in the world I like less and dread more than arguing. It is exhausting, depressing, and demotivating.
Please trust that I have been here for many years in good standing, that I have indeed read whatever policy, guideline, or essay you are going to condescendingly imply I am unfamiliar with, and that I ammaking a good-faith effort to make edits in compliance with policy, guidelines, and long-established precedent, and to seek clarification on policy and guidelines when necessary.
I just want to be left alone in peace to work on the many backlogs we have, and in return I will leave you alone in peace.
