I've never called your concerns meaningless. I've called meaningless mentions as meaningless and it shouldn't be taken personally.

We came to this discussion to settle a dispute which started when you told that I was "tolerating and/or praising unilateral action from Monolith616". You continued by deeming Monolith's actions as "unnecessary and towards some it was actually quite nasty, sinking to the level of completely uncalled for". I started a thread in an honest attempt to find a solution to the dispute which I though was a misunderstanding from either my or your part. What I learned from the discussion considering that particular thing is that there isn't any proof of Monolith's unilateral actions or intentional insults. That's the reason I think Monolith's been accused unjustifiable and my assessment that you've lacked necessary good faith. You tell that you haven't mentioned Monolith616 before (in this thread) but you have been quoting his comment "all you really want to do is add a bunch of pictures" as an ad hominem attack and it has been clear for everyone who is quoted. Adour and SunGodKizaru have acknowledged this accusation as being a misunderstanding and I feel the same. I probably wouldn't have brought up the lack in good faith if you have done that also but I felt the need to voice my concerns because an innocent editor seems to stay on the bench of the accused.

I'm not "the only one who apparently wants to rehash days later what's been previously explained ad nauseam". I'm an admin whose job is to settle these disputes. I don't get a joy from it as it's quite labourious task. It's also not an easy task but I try to do it as good as I can and my decisions can always be challenged. You deemed me as the one praising unilateral actions and I deemed you for not showing necessary good faith. Still, I don't like to act like I've been seriously insulted by your claim. I want to keep looking for consensus between us. Like I already proposed, we could seek a help from a mediator if you want. But I have a thick skin, don't have any grievances and if you think my accusation for the lack of good faith is totally unsubstantiated, we can just agree to disagree and move on. If this would have been concerned only me I might have done it already but there's a fellow editor involved. Other decisions are up to you and Monolith. I still think that it could be helpful if you could also revise your and others's actions. If you think that accused insults against TMAO were based on his opinions, are you sure that Monolith's opinions didn't matter in the misunderstanding. Why I see, reviewing those old discussions, respected editors having a different opinions with few debates continuing over their usefulness and you see that our "forum environment is becoming increasingly toxic".
