:::'''''It would be helpful if you had articulated in the RfC what that point was''''', since it {{tq|should be new start}}. Because just asking "Is this OK, is this not OK" ''says absolutely nothing about what is being disputed or even the nature of the dispute or how the dispute can be remedied''.
:::And for the record, comments like {{tq|I would wish that other people would also be transparent about how they feel about Israel, Jews, Palestine, the current Gaza situation, etc. But I'm not going to hold my breath}} insinuate that everyone involved in the discussion has some ulterior, political motive and is the exact kind of remarks that I referred to as "passive aggressive snipes", and which other editors likewise complained about in the discussions above. <ins>Also, [[WP:RFCBEFORE]] details what should transpire before attempting an RFC and states {{tq|RfCs are time consuming, and editor time is valuable}} and [[WP:RFCBRIEF]] states {{tq|The statement should be self-contained}} and also links to [[WP:WRFC]] which helpfully notes {{tq|Some RfCs do not work because the requester oversimplifies a specific issue to arrive at a question that is so general that answering it is not only difficult, but useless}}</ins> <b>[[User:BrocadeRiverPoems|<span style="font-family:vivaldi; color:Purple;">Brocade River Poems (She/They)</span>]]</b> 09:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
::::1) I do not agree. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. 2) IMO calling for procedural close -- after other editors seem to be OK enough with the RfC to engage -- would be the move of someone who knows they do not have a strong argument. I'm not saying you ''don't'' have a strong argument, I'm just saying that it is what an editor without a strong argument would do. The reader can make up her own mind what to think about that. 3) Can you articulate how the RfC ''should'' have been worded? Just a quick general post. 4) Go to [[WP:AN]] and ask for a procedural close if you're not just blowing off steam. In other words, the old saying "Put up or pipe down" is appropriate here. If you are just blowing off steam, Yeh OK, it's an emotional subject for you it seems, so fine, but hopefully steam now blown, so let's move on please.
