|'''If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error''', please <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RiverStyx23&action=edit&section=new click here]</span> and let me know. I am human: I make mistakes. Please don't interpret an error (even a really stupid one) on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. But please do bring it to my attention - provided one is not being condescending, '''I am always open to civil discussion.''' 

Now, that said, I have the right to withdraw from any situation that is escalating or uncomfortable without giving a reason or justifying myself, and to take further action through permissible means. (See [[WP:HARASS#Assistance for administrators being harassed|this policy]].) '''Do not construe this as agreement with whatever position you have espoused, whatever snide remarks you have made, or whatever abuse you are heaping upon me.''' My withdrawal is nothing more nor less than a statement that I have better things to do and an attempt on my part to follow the age-old aphorism that one should never argue with a fool. Thank you.
