A lot of this is from August, back when, indeed, she did struggle with this kind of behavior. I will wholeheartedly admit that she came across that way often upon first making her new account, but she has worked on this over the last few months and no longer randomly insults users in that manner, so I hardly deem some of this evidence relevant in the slightest. As for the rest, she was merely trying to seem professional (I know this because I actually talked to her as she made many of these responses), and it may have seemed somewhat unnatural, so I suppose I could see why one would view these as "self-righteous" is you were actively looking for it, but I assure you that was not the intention. I honestly do not believe she has changed though. Also, again, " the personal attack policy is not based on  intent, but  whether or not the user takes offense." Do you think that I enjoy having every single thing I do commented on in a condensing and snarky way? For example, "I have added batch undelete script &gt;:3 and now I shall undelete all the articles NG deleted :3 every single last one. It's beautiful, isn't it? (sie)" was said quite recently (2 days ago to be exact), and "Now meet MoS requirements :333" was used as the undeletion reason. I really don't think that that is professional or necessary in the slightest. Admittedly at the time I didn't really think much of that remark (I think I was partially afk watching Star Trek or something), but I can see why it would bug you, and yes it is certainly somewhat unprofessional. I don't believe she was trying to be blatantly "self-righteous" or "condescending" here, but I will agree such behavior is a display of some degree of immaturity (though it should be noted that virtually all the deletions were by you, so I don't think it was meant to be a direct attack).

However, as someone who knows her well, I strongly disagree with the statement "I honestly do not believe she has changed." She still has occasional displays of unprofessionalism, admittedly, but overall she has done a very good job of controlling her emotions. I'm sorry, but she is 19, not 5. Also, I don't believe that the fact that you know her well is relevant as I don't know her well and I interpret it as unprofessional and condescending. You should not have to know her well to understand what she means. I just admitted that these remarks were unprofessional and have already discussed it with her, so I'm confused by why people seem to think I'm defending everything she does.

As for the second point, I suppose that's fair, but frankly I thought I already mentioned that if people are actually consistently misconstruing her "professional" posts (which I was only made aware of now), and that I will personally discuss rewording her future remarks from now on in order to avoid misunderstanding. Is this fair?
