I appreciate your point of view, and the honest polite way in which you have expressed this. I'm sorry that you think I am not being neutral, but there's nothing I can do about that.

I have discussed this matter with Willbachbakal, seen his side and read yours, and I honestly have no opinion on the matter. If I had played BioShock Infinite, I would have weighed in on one side or the other on the article talk page, but since I haven't I don't have an informed opinion and am choosing to abstain. It's unfortunate that the disagreement on that page developed into an edit war. It could have been resolved more easily if other editors had joined in impartially to voice their perspective. Sometimes these things happen, and Willbachbakal tried to resolve it as best he could even though it's clear that tempers were frayed on both sides.

Frankly, Willbachbakal is very polite to people who show politeness towards him. I have observed his behavior towards new editors of the BioShock Wiki for years, and he has always comported himself in a friendly, welcoming manner, willing to see past mistakes or misunderstandings to help editors reach concensus.

In situations like this, (to use a trite phrase) "it takes two to tango." Willbachbakal was reacting to your own less than polite words, and that is why his tolerance for your percieved rudeness dwindled over time. Ideally, both sides of a conflict on a wiki should remain faultlessly polite, following all of the guidelines of wikipedia:WP:CIVIL. Obviously that is hard to do. You seem like you'd prefer to move on and leave this matter behind, and I respect that, but if you'd like I can point out some of the cases in which your words gave an impression of disrespect which exacerbated the conflict.
