Due to a somewhat regrettable and deeply ingrained contrarian streak, personal criticisms will only serve to reinforce my commitment to collaborating here on Wikipedia. In my case at least, you really can "kill 'em with kindness" . :)
If you're here because I did something to irritate you—take a breath first, then please engage with me politely . I can assure you that whatever I did, it was not meant to irk you or to generally be regarded as a nuisance. Let's talk it out! :) And if you're not here because I annoyed you... well, feel free to say hi anyway!
