:::::::So saying "No it didn't. I think you're confusing this with a TNG episode" and "That's never directly stated. You're making an assumption" is '''not''' "disagreeing with my point"? That's a new one on me. I was also not aware that this is ''not'' a user-editable web encyclopedia.

::::::::You seemed dedicated to being argumentative. A bit of advice, that won't get you far here. Changes are made by building consensus among editors, not by bullying or shouting down those who disagree with you.

:::::::::I am not at all "dedicated to being argumentative". If anyone here is, it is YOU. I made a good faith edit. You reverted it, taking a condescending and superior attitude (which you still are), and stating erroneous information for reverting, effectively "shouting ''me'' down", and now apparently denying having taken the stance you took. And if you'll stop pretending, you'll admit that the vast majority of editing at Wikipedia is not done by first "building a consensus among editors", but by simply ''making the appropriate edit''.

If you had simply ''allowed'' my edit in the first place, as is by far the true normal practice here, and as the 'consensus' ''you''
::::::Your use of italics and scare quotes above comes across as slightly combative, which I think is a little unnecessary here, especially since I'm more or less supporting your original argument. I'm sorry if I offended you. Next time, if you want other editors to be aware of your edit comments in a talk page discussion, you could always link the diffs for those edits. --[[User:Fru1tbat|Fru1tbat]] ([[User talk:Fru1tbat|talk]]) 15:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::::You did ''not'' offend me, Fru1tbat; please don't misunderstand. Oops, italics; sorry! ;) My last post was created in response to the post above yours, with an edit conflict. I ''appreciate'' your finding support in the same passage as I had. I do love inflection, though. My ship is equipped with very powerful inflectors.
