I took my failed RFA very badly indeed because it was not merely a rejection of my request for special access, but a rejection of the very premise on which I was working on Wikipedia. I was working for the readership, to be sure, but I was also working for the community to help other people do their volunteering, and many of those people, by supporting false statements about me and explicitly suspecting that I was up to no good, showed me that they wanted me to leave. So I left. I have no regrets about reacting angrily to the false statements. My only regret is that I didn't do it more effectively. If I knew how to handle such situations I could possibly have gotten Iridescent blocked or at least censured for blatant false statements, which are the worst kind of incivility. Not having been familiar with conflict situations because I edited quiet topics, I didn't know how to game the system to screw her over, but she richly deserved it.
Now come on, Shalso. No-one "deserves" to be screwed over. Or under, for that matter. You need to sit down, turn things around, and look back (but not in anger). Go forward, and don't turn sideways. It's time to forgive and forget. I think you should settle things with
Irrad Idires that other person and become friends. We're all in this together.

I do not take kindly to being called "Shal". "Shalom" is my full name on this forum.
I hear you, Shallers. It's the height of bad manners doing that sort of thing. I've got to ask, though - would you settle for "Shamol"? It's got a nice ring to it.
