That's less of an edit war and more of a heated argument that more properly belongs on a forum.

Oh right that is what it is, it's not an edit war sorry.

Move it over to the discussion page. They can work it out over there.

That's what we've been doing.

Though, at the same time, it's reignited our little debate from earlier that a third-party cut down to a more proper size, however it was Mr Death who was discontent with this action(I was fine with it) and started deleting the points altogether in an "All or nothing" sort of beef.

I simply responded saying that the deletion was reasonable and that he shouldn't be getting his undies in a twist just because he doesn't like how our pages-long argument was trimmed for conciseness.

It was the issue of where it was cut, specifically that it included your secondary complaint, but cut off the answers to it. Of course you were fine with it, it left you having the last word with an unanswered complaint.

But let's not bring this argument here too. Let's leave it to the discussion page where it belongs.

It was cut at the point where it became personal. Redo it, but keep it civil.

I really didn't want to bring this back here. I have kept it civil, and made an effort to respond only to Sick Brit Kid's arguments and not to say anything personal about him, but he has not extended me the same courtesy.

In his latest posts, he straight out calls me "thick" and "pathetic," and in a previous post he compared me to fans of Twilight. He's ended several posts with condescending variations on "GET IT?!", and has, in general, been treating me as if I was an idiot simply because I disagree with him.

I would have much preferred to end the argument civilly, but it's become clear that he will simply not let that happen, preferring to casually dismiss my arguments and insult me directly.

Suspended Sick Brit Kid, but personally, I don't see how anyone on either side can carry on a heated argument over some tiny thing in a cartoon that has been off the air for three years.

It's the internet. It does that.
