This is exactly my attitude as well.
One other point that Darth deserves a lot of credit for is that he doesn't carry over hostility from one conversation to the next (despite his record keeping).
You can get in a nasty altercation with him on one post, but the next time you interact he will be fully willing to help or compliment what you wrote.
That's true. That is nice. And it's helpful because we can all get fired up at times. Right now He seems to think I made this post to troll. I am not sure why it is hard to understand that I appreciate his contributions and I don't like his approach to communication. I want to express both sides.

You'll notice that I didn't credit him with interpreting people's motives very well. He tends towards very uncharitable interpretations.
Still, you can learn to interact with someone who doesn't hold grudges.
There have been a few stackers who just completely soured on me after a single disagreement and refuse to have civil interactions now. That's much more childish behavior than anything I've observed from Darth.

I agree. I think that is why I keep trying to make friends with him as much as he doesn't seem to want to let my appreciation in. Relationships and human interaction is complicated. I love my wife so much, and she drives me nuts sometimes. And she knows it. And I drive her nuts. It's not binary. He thinks my compassionate is fake. And that hurts but it's part of my growth. He helps me grow a lot.
