I don't think it is accurate to describe these exchanges with you as "battling". You are being asked to follow your own guidelines for the running of the site, albeit in a more moderate, flexible manner, or, failing that, to let us know what your thoughts are about how you would like to run it now. Despite repeated civil requests to do this, from many people, I have not seen one instance of respectful discussion of this topic. Instead, you often change the meaning of our posts, trivialize our concerns and treat everyone with a slight tinge of contempt. Repeatedly warning us that our good-faith attempts at communicating with you are actually battles which are going to result in us getting the opposite of what we hope for is a startling example of this barely-concealed contemptuous attitude. The problems raised can all be resolved, or at least made better, if you treat them with the thoughtfulness and respect with which they are offered. It is your own attitude, which repeatedly appears contentious and passive-aggressive, which is preventing that from happening.
