Update on the previous question: So, it seems as it was an error because the third entry I submitted went through the system this time around. With that being said, I still have questions about the second one.

I never instigated an edit war with you; I was the one who called you out after you started edit warring on a particular page by removing an entry that I had initially deleted, an entry that wasn't even valid in the first place and got rightfully removed as a result of my diplomacy on ATT. So get your facts right before you start pointing fingers.

Also, I would advise that you visit the Get Help With English Here forum before adding anything on how Squidward Tentacles might come off as an Anti-Role Model (an entry that I removed because it was, as I had already explained in my edit reason, a Zero-Context Example, which you have a particular penchant for adding into various pages), as some of your entries lack proper grammar and read incohorently, including this very ATT report.

Okay, calm down. For the first, yeah, I will admit I did lash out over such a minuscule edit but you proceeded to escalate the war so no one's completely innocent but that's not important right now. As for the grammar thing, I've been improving over time where it has been noticeably cleaner and better refined. Though I also will admit, I really should spend more time there. I don't know why I do not take the time to go there as often as I should so I'll visit more often.

Also, @lemarhoffman, may you provide a less rash response next time we have this conversation? I would hate to have another war happen like this. Hopefully, I don't offend you or anything likewise. You did add on to the war and made it out into a full on argument, which, yeah, I someone caused, I never really made it a war at first. It's really just the wording that bugs me, as you make it out like you're eminence. Again, I hope you understand and we don't get into another war like last time.

I didn't address you with a "rash response", I was just laying out some facts which you had seemingly forgotten. And my edit reason for removing Anti-Role Model from Squidward's page lacked any modicum of patronising superiority, if that's what you're implying; my exact words for the removal were "How exactly is [Squidward] a character that people should not emulate? In what regards?". I was simply asking for a Zero-Context Example to be elaborated upon, nothing more, nothing less. In any case, let's just chalk this all up to a simple misunderstanding and bear no ill will toward one another.

Oh. Well, @lemarhoffman, I was just referring to how you worded the whole conflict. It felt less like a incident and more of a it was completely my fault but ah, I can forgive. Though, still, sorry for the huge mess I caused. Also, hey, would you mind if I sent you some revisions and expanded upon explanations so it could get your thoughts and approval before I publish it?
