I don't see anything rude in the edit reasons or at least they don't come off that way to me.

Well, they shouldn't be holding convos in edit reasons, but I don't think this one crosses the line. Not seeing anything in their PM's that breaks our rudeness rules, either.

For the record (as it should not be on us to find evidence if you're accusing a troper of something), you can directly link to earlier edits by putting "&more=t" before the # sign in the URL (like this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Friends.TropesAToE&more=t#edit29536193, I'm assuming this is the Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male entry you're talking about). I also don't think you needed to send a notifier for an edit that was over a year old. People's editing skills can change a lot over a year; it's best to check their recent edits if you believe they have a persistent problem.

^Yeah, I know and before I sent the notifier I checked her edits, and they were almost exclusively her deleting things. EDIT: I also didn't link that edit because the link doesn't directly take you to it, though I'll still do that next time.

^ The link doesn't directly take you to it when it doesn't have the "&more=t", modifying the link by putting that in there will make the link directly take you to it, as you can see if you click on the link Synchronicity made. I believe I also told you this while trying to explain why it happens in an earlier query.

I apologize you found me condescending. I tried explaining to you three times that it wasn't an expy example but you refused to believe me. I don't believe I should have gotten a notifier for someone else's entry that I was merely crosswicking, but you did point out that I could have deleted the word craft which is true. As for the reason you are reporting me, I was trying to prevent an edit war in case that troper tried to readd the statutory rape bit a third time.

For the record, pertaining to the Characters.Young Sheldon Other Characters page, I don't know if this qualifies as an edit war or not.

The troper, Faunas, the Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Characters.YoungSheldonOtherCharacters#edit33774963

Thecarolinabull 01 then deleted this line, "given the potential statutory rape aspect to it" with the edit reason that in Texas the age of consent is seventeen. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Characters.YoungSheldonOtherCharacters#edit33775495

Two days later faunas added statutory rape in parentheses. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Characters.YoungSheldonOtherCharacters#edit33793612

I did not think it was an edit war. Sometimes people do forgot or don't think so I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I did want to make sure that they knew that they had already been told that it wasn't statutory rape so they wouldn't readd it. I was blunt but I was not rude.

Unfortunately, I have scoured the main page for Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male but I don't think it show who made the entry in question, but I maintain I did not make that entry that was corrected, I only crosswicked the two of them while adding my own at the bottom. That being said, I recognized before and now that I should have cleaned up the word craft.

I understand I have probably undermined my point by thinking you uncommented the zero content I hid and sent you a notifier for it. And I apologize for that. I admit I can be quick to judgement espically when I am angry. I explained about the expy being wrong, other people said that example was wrong, you refused to listen. I am sorry that you felt that I was rude about the Friends entry but as the mods pointed out it was years ago and it wasn't even my entry. Not to mention in the end, I even agreed with you that I should have deleted the word craft.

I would also like to know what it wrong with only deleting things? I am editing just as you are.

EDIT: I am sorry for the four entries. I thought it better to split up my responses to avoid a wall of text, but I should have just edited my first post, instead of making this one.

Thanks for explaining all that. Also, I wasn't trying to imply there's anything wrong with deleting things and I tried to make that message sound better.

Like you said, sometimes text based messages can come off the wrong way. I think we both were misunderstanding each other or misinterpreting each other's tone, rather. Regardless, let's just, for lack of better phrasing, move on. I am glad that we hashed out.

Sure, let's move on, though I'm glad we could work things out.
