I've just replied to you on 'Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Geordie.23Mostly_unsourced_In_popular_culture_section'
Thank you for the comment btw.Easeswily (talk) 02:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Persian People Dispute
I think that I would have done the same thing, closing the case as a conduct dispute. The allegations by the filing party are serious and disruptive. I don't know if they are true, because I haven't researched the talk page. However, if they are true,the conduct issues by the other party are not consistent with mediation. If they are false, then claiming that they are true is a serious conduct issue also. Someone is misbehaving. Either way, I think you were right in closing the case.

holy s***
Holy crap, since when are you back on Misplaced Pages? I thought I’d never see you back! Steven Crossin 19:43, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- I was bored. I could literally be gone by next Tuesday. We'll see! Xavexgoem (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Likewise, I only popped back in because I saw someone working on an article and I got a talk page notice about it...but now that you're back, well, that changes things! See you over at DRN. Steven Crossin 01:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Al-Ahbash Dispute
Your handling of the dispute with a Socratic examination of the filing party was unorthodox, but it worked. Were you trying to get the filing party to acknowledge that they were just being stubborn? Robert McClenon (talk) 23:12, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Request for Assistance with a Stalker
It appears I am being stalked by User: Guy Macon wherever I go in Misplaced Pages.

I did not edit any article, but merely attempted to bring the proposal to their attention on their talk pages, and ask for comments. However, before I could complete this post and ask for comments, it was deleted by Guy Macon, who accused me of violating some policy of WP. I had no clue what he was writing about, but he was quite aggressive about it. Consequently, neither Sanger nor Wales was able to see the proposal. The proposal was merely a proposal, and was not published elsewhere. Subsequently, the discussion with Guy Macon got a bit heated on both sides, as you can see from my talk page, where most of it is posted.
