You're edit warring too, and he doesn't qualify for the trope.

Both parties are edit-warring at this point.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

How is it that I'm being blamed for this. I was just adding in a trope. You know what just forget it.

You're not being "blamed"; people are just pointing out that you're edit warring too. Both of you should've stopped and gone to discussion.

Well it certainly looks like it. I never had the need to go to discussion or anything like that. I was simply doing the mundane and somehow I ended up in this.

You know, in an Edit War, everyone thinks they're right.

When you add something and someone deletes it (or if you delete something and other editor puts it right back) and you feel an urge to put it back/delete it again, it's necessary that you both stop and try to discuss it: there are direct personal messages, the article discussion (with a PM that you want to discuss it there or a link in your edit reason), then Is this an example? forum thread in Trope Talk, or here. Sometimes you'll talk it over just between you, but other times others have to chime in. When we have consensus, all editors are obligated to act accordingly.

Coming here to ATT is the right step, but you should have phrased it differently: Me and this troper disagree whether character X is an example of trope Y. Summary of my arguments. Summary of their arguments. Who do you think is correct? Does the trope apply?

And to answer your question, Za Warudo: You're being "blamed" for your edit warring because you were edit warring. It's that simple.

You're also completely misunderstanding Ax-Crazy: showing "murderous intent" once or even multiple times is not enough to qualify for the trope.
