| ::Thank you for your opinion, but I don't see anything destructive about the edits so far as I can tell, and I decline to risk my privacy further by specifying my reasons in public. Sorry, but if you have an issue with this, I'm going to suggest discussing it with others. I can't even offer an explanation without countering the purpose of doing it. ] (]) 01:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::It is destructive in that you are tampering with archives, which can alter their meaning and contradict their purpose. Because you are changing so many pages, you flooding everyone's watchlist and advertising your user name change, including your old user name, to hundreds or thousands of people on Misplaced Pages, which may contradict your own purpose. If massive changes like this were allowed on flimsy grounds, it would be disruptive. Since it is easy for anyone to view your old username, and since any one who stumbles upon any of these great many archives has no good reason not to restore the original archive as commonly occurs, and might even accidentally do so, you cannot hide it, even if such a blatant pseudonym had privacy implications. —]→] • 01:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
