Without seeing the P Ms I can't speak for whether or not he was rude to you.

What I can say is that he is absolutely right in his edit reason. Game difficulty is largely a subjective thing - it's opinion, and as they say "opinions are never wrong".note  The only time when you're allowed to unilaterally remove such an example is if it is factually wrong.

For example, if he said "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is harder because you have to play it with a DDR dance pad." you could remove that because it's factually incorrect.

But if it's simply your opinion that the game isn't that hard then no, you're not allowed to delete it without taking it up in discussion first.

Keep in mind mods can see the text of P Ms. You're not the first to complain about My Final Edits -but complaining he was 'rude' has yet to be proven in public. Apparently he has a very firm tone when P Ming erring tropers, particularly several times, but nothing has been proven to be 'rude'.

I've checked the PM. I've messaged My Final Edits since it was an unnecessary dig. That deletion reason is sub-par - it's too much reliant on personal opinion to be convincing. Game difficulty tropes tend be fairly subjective even when not flagged as such.

You guess that it is a good idea put Sequel Difficulty Spike in YMMV?

I have sent an apology to Septimus over my attitude. I should simply have done the edit. Also, as Candi said, I tend to be firm when talking to tropers, but it's never for the sake of looking like a miserable loner. Best regards to MTIO.
