::I find these responses utterly confusing. This sentence adds to the confusion, "but don't just make subtle attempts are '''[at?]''' promoting environmentalism and edit war over them". My intention was to criticize the attempts by [[Animal rights|animal activists]] to deprive hardworking people an important source of income and part of their culture. If you both had shown just a little patient further edits would have made it clear This seems to me far more significant that whether or not seals are cute. But perhaps you both are vegans! There is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_hunting long article on the seal hunt on Wikipedia], in case you might wish to learn more. And please don't stereotype me and also don't exaggerate about edit-wars (this isn't true: "you '''constantly''' edit war with administrators" (plural?). I am making an effort to communicate with you [[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]]. I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong footing. [[User:Timber|Timber]] ([[User talk:Timber|talk]]) 20:10, 17 April 2019 (EDT)

:::To be clear, the point is not whether we support seal hunting or not...It's not that I'm specifically for or against it. My concern is that, whether intentional or not, that edit did not seem constructive, and it's not the first time. All we have to judge your intentions are your edits. If we misunderstood or jumped to conclusions, then fine--Perhaps we can improve on that. However, when we see odd, pointless, and/or suspicious edits, some skepticism seems to be in order. Please endeavor to make helpful, substantive additions. A stray (possibly suspicious) sentence added to the introduction of an article doesn't count. As I said, feel free to write a section on it if you wish--it's not that you can't speak on such things. It's the way you are doing it and your apparent attitude that we are concerned about. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 21:08, 17 April 2019 (EDT)
