Rephrasing

edit

Per discussion on WT:RFA: perhaps a "nutshell" that explains that it often better to acknowledge the !vote respectfully, and not attempt to "change" a person's viewpoint. — Ched :  ?  17:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Right now the phrasing seems to be a condescending way to respond to any !vote one finds stupid. Malinaccier (talk) 18:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I support the idea of a new and fresh approach and where it may lead. --Buster7 (talk) 05:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Per the discussion that Ched refers to, I've made an edit to the essay. [1] What do people think? Better? Too many words? Too much tangential discussion about trolls at the end? Please apply machetes and welding torches as necessary... -GTBacchus(talk) 01:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I like this version much more. Good job! Malinaccier (talk) 02:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Regarding subsequent edits, I don't want to drift into WP:OWN territory, but I really don't get "Your attempt at participation is appreciated." Can that possibly be taken as civil? -GTBacchus(talk) 05:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
