| − | A good example of things going wrong is the [[Line segment]] article. I completely understand, and agree with, what you wanted. But "I suspect sabotage"?? There was no sabotage there! Nor was it, as Foxtrot claimed, a misplaced parenthesis. I was a serious misunderstanding, by Foxtrot and others, of the distinction between the geometric concepts of a line or line segment, and the arithmetic/algebra/calculus concept of what the real numbers are and why we call them the "real line". You knew that, and I knew that. You could have straightened out the mess. You could have taken Foxtrot aside and expressed your concern. Or you could even have asked me (writing assignment!) to fix it. I was busy cleaning up his mess (and it ''was'' parody) at [[Boolean_value&diff=prev&oldid=497729]]. I knew about the line segment problem, and was going to get to it. | + | A good example of things going wrong is the [[Line segment]] article.
