Just so you know, I appreciate your encouragement for another editor to close that ANI. (I have no desire to keep open or have stay open.) It seems this is a lot of fun for some people, however, and must explain it. (The abuse-train must continue chugging, else, apparently, it will hurt the economy .) As long as it stays open I'm subject to continued mud-slinging, and, that ain't right, but I guess you & I are the only ones who think so. Great place. ] (]) 05:59, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Falling Barnstars!

The Anachronistic Guitar Barnstar
For getting Canadian drug charges and trial of Jimi Hendrix‎ through the gruelling FA process. I wonder what Hendrix would do with a Parker Fly? Curly Turkey (gobble) 23:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! The others did all the fine work: I only helped get it off the ground in an inadvertent way. It turned out remarkably; and it was a learning experience as well. It's a great article that I'm proud to have had a small part in. Cheers :) Doc talk 23:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) My guess is that Hendrix would make a Parker Fly sing -- as he did with every other guitar he touched. And then he would go back to his trusty Stratocaster. DoctorJoeE /talk to me! 12:45, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Gauntlet

You have an opinion on this user. You clearly expressed that. Decline his unblock if you feel that strongly. Perhaps engage him/her, talk to them. Ping me on my talk if you'd like to have them unblocked, and if you can make the case to me, I'll do so. You can decline unblocks as a non-admin, and I'm watching the process. I'll help you if things get out of hand. Feel free to hit me up for help. SQL 07:32, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

As it reads now, per WP:Blocking policy: "Any user may comment on block reviews, however only administrators may resolve the request (either declining or unblocking)." No admin is likely to unlock the user, but only an admin can do it according to policy. Doc talk 07:41, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
You haven't so much as commented at the user's talk page. SQL 07:42, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
He's a waste of time. No gauntlet for me: too many toes stepped on, and not worth the headache. I like being a NCO a lot better anyway. More freedom! Cheers :> Doc talk 07:53, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
That is your decision to make. I tried to give you the opportunity to help yourself. SQL 07:56, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
I appreciate it! Thanks, SQL! Doc talk 08:04, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
For caring enough to take the time with fellow editors, even those that others have written off. Dennis Brown |  | WER 22:45, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Dennis! This means a lot coming from one of the most universally respected admins on the site. The only "enemies" I have here are, in no particular order: vandals, trolls, spammers, POV-pushers; and especially the sockers that commit all of the above sins. The "hopelessly incompetent" sort of editor I don't have contempt for, but also don't want here. We must be retaining the good editors when they are really here to act in good faith and improve the place. Thanks again! Doc talk 05:56, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

You're invited!

NE Meetup #5: April 19th at Clover Food Lab in Kendall Square

Dear Fellow Wikimedian,

New England Wikimedians would like to invite you to the April 2014 meeting, which will be a small-scale meetup of all interested Wikimedians from the New England area. We will socialize, review regional events from the beginning of the year, look ahead to regional events of 2014, and discuss other things of interest to the group. Be sure to RSVP here if you're interested.

Also, if you haven't done so already, please consider signing up for our mailing list and connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.

We hope to see you there!

Kevin Rutherford (talk) and Maia Weinstock (talk)

Ask me or any other admin if you want it removed earlier. I was guessing this was the best solution and your preferred method to deal with the issue. Dennis Brown |  | WER 15:18, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I definitely was going to remove the stuff; I was waiting to see what he was going to do next, and then logged off for the night. His very last edit says it all, destroying his pathetic "little brother" excuse. I assume it's a "he" after reading this recent BBC article, which you must read if you haven't already. Cheers :) Doc talk 21:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

TLDR re block

Re this, and I think maybe you were on the TLDR talkpage? As noted there, TLDR was used as the rationale for a two-day block which totally blocked me from my own talkpage and email....forTLDR??Skookum1 (talk)

I've never edited the TLDR talkpage. I don't know how TLDR in itself is a justification for a block, quite honestly. It could be stretched into disruptive editing, I guess.
I should also reiterate that while I certainly don't want to see you site banned, I do clearly see why others are complaining about you. I don't think they are just simply wrong across the board, or that it's all on them with only you being blameless. So, while I will continue to oppose a site ban on you, I stress that you need to look more carefully and introspectively at why any editor would really want you banned in the first place.
