Not necessary.
I agree she didn’t handle it ideally, but she has a point that your edits were misleading and cast her in a bad light. Do you disagree?
Carleas, what is the ideal way to handle it, would y’say?
She has (with Meno_) been intentionally trolling me. I already tagged you in that thread (regarding notifications of edited replies to which one has reacted/replied… ironically a related problem).
I keep trying to be friendly and humorous about the situation. Is she joking? Hard to read.
Mute her and Meno so that you don’t see anything either of them posts.

…that’s news to me, and probably to Meno too, as since when has discussion/s between people indicated trolling behaviour towards another?
My edits were to confirm who I was solely replying to, so as to allay the confusion… I have a right to ignore/not engage with whom I want.
Right, but that changed the meaning of the post, right? You edited it because Ichthus’ response showed that the original post wasn’t clearly a reply solely to Meno, it was ambiguous and could be interpreted as a question for Ichthus or for the room. By changing the post, you made it look as though Ichthus had misread your post, rather than that you had been ambiguous.
So your edits were misleading (they made it seem like the post was originally addressed clearly and exclusively to Meno when they were originally much more ambiguously addressed), and they cast Ichthus in a bad light (by making it look like she’d misread a very clear post rather than an ambiguous post).
Of course you’re free to ignore or engage with whoever you want, that’s not the issue here.
…it was an ongoing conversation with Meno, which is very evident to see/tell that it was.
.
The fact that someone doesn’t like being ignored is not my problem, and the accusation of being trolled a blatant lie.
Perhaps if folks want to keep a conversation between themselves they can take it to private message?
…instead of engaging in private conversation in a thread that someone else started.
Ideally such things would not happen (& have to be ignored) in public.
It does not make for a very inviting atmosphere.
I now respectfully bow out of this non-discussion.

An observation voiced… polite discourse Vs crass and crude trolling in every thread made, is non-comparable… unless One is insane or a total troll, or both.
I’ll go with ‘both’.
If that were true you wouldn’t have needed to edit your posts.
I am not endorsing that accusation, and I apologize if I came across as implying otherwise. I don’t think you were malicious with your edits, I just think that Ichthus frustration was understandable.
As I said, the specific form of her reaction was not ideal, and in that sense arguably “unnecessary”, fair enough. But it is understandable.
Even where I have replied to someone and their name is visible in the reply, the person has claimed that they never know who I am talking to…

Thank you for your clear perspective on the matter, and so for resolving the issue.
