Possible personal attack on Chromakopia

Hey TMC, I was patrolling around and noticed that you said this while reverting someone on Chromakopia.

You are so annoying. Get a job

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but if you said this to a good faith editor (and you should always assume good faith!), then that would be a personal attack which you should never do, especially to someone as inexperienced as @Ralancer (assuming they're not a vandal). But again, I don't really know what happened here, so can you give me the context? I've notified Ralancer already. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:50, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The editing was so chaotic on that page, I believed Ralancer was the one who kept vandalizing the page over and over again with it consistently having to be reverted as when I reverted the page, the most recent edit was by Ralancer. I assumed it was them at the time because looking into the revision history, there were multiple possible vandalism reverts on their edits. When I compared one of their edits to the previous rendition of the page by clicking on the "prev" button, I saw very clear vandalism. I was very tired at the time though, and don't know if it was them actually deleting vandalism or them vandalizing the page themselves when I look back on it now. I'm sorry if I got it mixed up. TheMaskedChairman (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just looked at Ralancer's contribution history and confirming now that I did in fact mistake their edits reverting vandalism for them repeatedly vandalizing the page. I'm sorry for the insult and mistake on my judgement. TheMaskedChairman (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All good! I would caution that you avoid any aggression to even vandals and trolls (see these: WP:DENY WP:DNIV WP:RBI) for this exact situation. It's always possible that you could've just insulted an actual good-faith editor. TheWikiToby (talk) 15:29, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
