P Ms should be sent to both of them to come here so we can hash this out.

I would send them myself but I'm not in a position to do so.

There needs to be a new Drinking Game for the amount of times someone gets into an Edit War on RWBY. Particularly the YMMV page...

^ @Arctimon: PMs sent. Paged both to come here and work it out.

I got a PM calling me to this thread. I removed an entry that was misuse via complaining. When Emerald Theorem added the entry back, I didn't respond and let it go. Another troper took it to Discussion Page, so I responded there yesterday, and suggested an alternative post that strips out the complaining and focusses on a genuine element that does exist within their post.

So, thanks for calling me in but you don't need to worry about me pursuing an Edit War, I'm already discussing it with other tropers on the Discussion Page.

Well, you now have another issue on you hands on the same page within less than a few days of each other: Giantleviathan added a Critical Dissonance entry, before Tropers/Steam_Lord deleted it without an edit reason. Giantleviathan now re-added the trope claiming they don't want to start an edit war when they are effectively starting one.

When are people going to learn that the correct procedure is to bring it to discussion and hash it out with the other party instead of immediately putting an entry back and claiming their intention of not causing a ruckus?

^^^ While no excuse, my guess would be they don't realize edit #3 makes the war.
