KC9TV, I think a more productive suggestion to de-escalate things would be for you to refrain from using the word ""hoax."" You have asserted that your understanding of the word does not imply malice; realize that that is very different from other editors' understanding of the term. Read the lede sentence of hoax. You seem to want to debate semantics in the parsing of ""deliberate"" there; the commonly accepted understanding is a deliberate attempt to include disinformation while aware that the information is falsehood. Whether you realize it or not (and personally I think you do and are merely trying to ruffle his feathers), you're accusing Kintetsbuffalo of bad faith. If you stop saying that Kintetsbuffalo is trying to introduce a hoax in the encyclopedia, I'm pretty sure that this can be discussed rationally.   "
