Multiple sclerosis

I left this message in the talk page:

Hey... try to calm down: We all see that it was a good faith edit and what you have seen is a common discussion for consensus in wikipedia. This shouldn´t make you leave wikipedia, since I am sure you have a lot to offer to wikipedia articles. Have you thought for example on writting an article on MS movement around the world...? The fact that some of us don`t think it should be in the main MS page doen´t mean we think is not a valuable contribution. Have you seen for example if that information is in the association article that propossed the ribbon (See multiple sclerosis organizations). I am sorry if you felt attacked by me or others since I´m sure it was nobody intentions. Secondly I want to assure you that nobody owns the article, there are simply some people that have put more interest in it than other people and it has been these people as me the ones that have given their opionion if they feel the info is suitable for the article. Most of us have made several contributions that have also been reverted and after a discussion some of them are in the article and some others are not: this is how wikipedia works, by consensus. Thirdly I want you to know that you are not the only editor with the disease, there are editors that also have it and even some of them have also stated that it´s not the place for that information. Of course most editors that have contributed to this article do not have MS, but many of us is not that we simply talk about it, as you say, but we are also related to it in real life in different way. Some of us work with MS patients (I´m a psychologist who investigates cognition in MS; but there are also doctors, neurologists...), other have close relatives... I hope to see you soon around. --Garrondo (talk) 10:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
