Line 36: Such arguments do not help reach an agreement in any way. They are only one person [[WP:BULLY\|bullying]] the other. Wikipedia's mission is to provide ''readers'' with the best possible information to everyone. Wanting to have it [[narcissism\|your way]] all the time defeats that purpose. ~~It is important to remember that whenever an edit war or any type of dispute does occur, the goal is to reach a compromise, not for one editor to get things his/her way and the other to get nothing.~~ There are no [[WP:COOLDOWN\|cooldown blocks]] for those involved in edit warring. The reason why editors can be blocked for edit warring is not as [[WP:PUNISH\|punishment]] for breaking some rule. Likewise, pages are not [[WP:PADLOCK\|fully protected]] to punish the community or to say a page is so important it cannot be edited. These measures are taken in order to keep the situation under control and prevent further [[WP:DE\|disruption]].
