Why did you remove the word "dismal" altogether from my narrative? How would you feel if you had worked on something for two years, and it had amounted to nearly nothing? Heartsick. You would feel heartsick. 2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68 (talk) 12:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68: My apologies. Based on the WP Manual of Style, articles should not be written like a narrative. The standard is to write dispassionately without adding emotional language. Also, everything you write on wikipedia can be edited freely by other people when appropriate, so it is not really your narrative anyway, although I completely understand why you would feel attached to it.

What kind of response is that? We are not "writing an article" on your talk page, and yet not only do you remain "dispassionate", you refer to the wrong emotional issue in my complaint! 2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68 (talk) 01:58, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68: My response above was to your original question asking why I removed the word "dismal" from an article. I was not talking about my talk page. I removed the word "dismal" from the article in question, because I felt it was inconsistent with Wikipedia's encyclopedic tone, which is dispassionate. Pythagimedes (talk) 02:41, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I already know your response was to the article and not to the talk page! My question for you was and is: Why did you respond to the article and not recognize the emotional issue presented on your talk page about the article. Even failures at clerical work have their hard moments. Has Wikipedia become this much a grind that our feelings about sharing knowledge with others has its end in "take it up with the union rep?" or something? Vargas Milan, 3:58a EST, 11 Feb 2021. (2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68 (talk))

Pythagimedes, I apologize. I hit a friend yesterday because I thought he wasn't listening, but he was, and now there's you too, and I'm really sorry. I kind of a have a marathon runner mentality, and I thought others had it too, so I'm really sorry I gave you a smack. If there's anything you need, write me back, and I'll try and pay you back.

Sorry again for not listening. Vargas Milan 2600:1700:C690:3640:C871:F420:88A0:4F68 (talk) 09:40, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
