Fla$her,
They are implied in this phrase
I was just saying that I don't remember such behavior having happened before. No "old motives" there or anywhere else.

I have quoted this phrase as it was before the correction. There wasn't "don't". If it wasn't, I wouldn't have started this conversation.

Fla$her,
There is no "don't". This is exactly as it was, only thing I ever changed is that I mentioned you by nickname instead of post number: "This is the first time that I remember where the regulars (and Fla$her) are bickering so harshly, uselessly and not knowing when to stop, that I felt I had to step in."

"This is the first time that I remember" = "I don't remember such behavior having happened before".

Then what does "where" have to do with it?
This is the first time that I remember where ...
Then you need to write "In my memory, this is the first time when the regulars ...", then you would have been understood correctly.

Fla$her,
I was referring to the "place", the topic itself, as in "I don't remember any other topic, where such a negative discussion happened". But yes, "when" might have perhaps been clearer in this case.

In this case, delete the entire thread, starting from the previous page, please, it turned out to be meaningless.
You can make the proposed edit to the proposal under discussion if you wish.

Normally I don't intervene in these kinds of discussions because I believe in free speech. But free speech ends where it interferes with the rights of others. That's why I have to write a few things here now:

1. Please calm down. This is a technical forum. No one wants to insult others out of nowhere. But we all speak different languages, so it's easy to get misunderstandings. What sounds like a question to the writer "How usefull can be Enter as a shortcut ?" may sound like an insult to the reader (why would anyone do that?). But in reality, the writer just didn't notice the [ShortcutsWin] section mentioned in the post, so the actual shortcut would be Win-Enter.

2. When posting a reply, consider how your post will look to the one who asked the question. If you don't have anything useful to say, then just don't. I don't reply to many posts because I don't have any answer, or no answer which is better than what other forum users have posted.

3. Try no to to be rude even if the other poster was, this will just escalate the debate instead of bringing results. Always ask yourself: Would you say such a thing in real life, in the face of a boxer or football player who is 2 heads taller than you are? If no, then it's better not to say it.

Fla$her,
In this case, delete the entire thread
As said previously, the moderators aren't really allowed to delete posts, unless they're spam, against the law, or double-posts. If you wish and the forum allows, you can delete your own posts yourself.

Your thoughts are absolutely clear and fair, but they are generalized and do not relate to a specific example that we touched upon with the moderator, where he exposes my message as arrogant, which, as I explained above, is completely far-fetched. There is no subtext there, there is only a desire to understand the details of the request, where perhaps the author could not have known the obvious things, like the same person who (as I indicated by the link) did not know the differences between plugins and utilities. Therefore, speaking of "calm down", it would be logical to turn to Hacker with this in making decisions about transferring posts to this topic.

This permission, as far as I understand, concerns situations when they are not agreed with the author of the posts. And as you can see, I am not just giving permission for this, but asking you about it. Only the administration can delete posts, except the last one. I can only correct the text in the posts. If I clean up the text, leaving your answers, can you imagine how stupid it will look? Therefore, it is logical to delete everything at once.

I am sorry, I will neither delete your posts, nor will I delete mine, even if you edit / have someone delete yours. Feel free to ask any other moderator or Christian.

It would make sense if you gave the go-ahead to delete your answers, otherwise we return to the bad tone, where quotes of text from deleted posts are left.

Fla$her,
Well, I politely refuse to have my posts deleted, and you are free to do with yours as you wish.

Based on the degree of uselessness of this discussion thread, I dare say that this is my last (not moved) message here.

1. You shouldn't use English in the German wiki.
2. It is not clear what you mean with "This entry". Do you mean only your contributions? You cannot speak for other contributors.
3. If you do want to give explicit consent for your contributions, perhaps the discussion page is better suited for that.
