This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages. This means leaving any comments here will likely be fruitless and it will be appreciated if you avoid doing so. Thank you for leaving this space blank. If you have an issue you think needs to be dealt with, don't ask me to do it. I don't want to do so, and I don't wish you to leave any comment here. Bring it up somewhere else where active editors can act on it instead. Thanks for respecting my desires

And just in case somebody is noticing my edits right now, all I'm doing is removing the instances of my old username in order to do what I can for privacy. All of the discussions should be obsolete, so please don't revert the changes, but do let me know if I'm doing something wrong right now. Note, if you simply disagree with what I'm doing, arguing with me is not appropriate, I'm not inclined to offer any specific explanations, or convince you of my reasons. I wish to leave Misplaced Pages and maximize my privacy. If you wish to discuss things, try finding other editors and developing a consensus. I recommend a policy talk page or the village pump.

Unless your real name is Mister Manticore, you are just making a bunch of useless or destructive edits. —Centrx→talk • 01:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
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.

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. —Centrx→talk • 01:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
