Collaboration & accomodation

I am neurodivergent, and sometimes absorb and express information atypically, so please be patient, AGF, and ask me what I mean if in doubt or if I seem to be advocating something strange or contentious. Sometimes it may take a few rounds of back-and-forth to clarify what I mean, so please don't sound-bite me and scurry to the nearest noticeboard. Wikipedia thrives far better with light than with heat, and I know I certainly do.

Especially under wikistress, I may tend to get too granular, or hyperfocused, or wordy, in which case please do let me know -- but please don't assume that such lapses necessarily indicate "bludgeoning" or other such tendentiousness. While I am (at least) as capable of making mistakes as anyone, I'm genuinely trying my best, and am grateful for your understanding.

Graham's hierarchy of disagreement

The Golden Fivefold Path To Making Editing Fun Or At Least Relatively Painless

• Be collegial and stay focused on content
• Make a steel man of opposing arguments and avoid repeating yourself
• Don't edit war. Seek broad input and allow the debate to take its course. Accept eventualism
• Ignore all drama and resist baiting
• DGAF: Don't perseverate, do procrastinate; avoid the urge to stay up late
