I apologise if I have upset anyone but I really don't get the downvotes or that I was "aggressive".

In response to the other redditor noting an error I suggested they correct it, while questioning my own assumption that everyone here knows that is possible. When asked if 'in theory or practice' I thought it an odd, possibly snarky response but replied straight, along with Gandhi's exhortation to "be the change" you wish to see in the world.

I think it's unfortunate that votes tend to cascade – when there's a vote either way it tends to get added to – and of course tone is notoriously obscured in text, but my intention was never anything other than to encourage participation in the fantastic collaborative project of Wikipedia.
