After a few days of reflection and consultation, I seem to have found some answers. An argument arose because I am a creature of logic. I discuss with logic, I debate with logic, I even try to comfort people with logic, because sound logic lends greater certainty to life. But if I look past my own instincts, I must remember that most people do not think that way most of the time. When people assert opinions, or pick flame wars, they are usually arguing from emotion, not logic. In this, I had the effect of antagonizing the other user, and drew out an argument that could have been avoided.

As you may have noticed, I am generally good with gathering and categorizing vast amounts of information (and of course the technical side of wiki editing), but I am not always good at determining what is socially "appropriate." I continue to work on this little at a time. Since you're the moderator I usually end up dealing with when incidents arise, I appreciate your patience and flexibility.

Also, I must take responsibility for initially driving that thread off-topic. Since Renet had not appeared on the show yet, I mentally sorted the topic as "Michelangelo's relationships," hence all the discussion about Leatherhead. I did not think of it as a segue at the time, but in retrospect I can see how it was. It was my mistake.
