Once again, you come to my aid in dealing with this nuisance. Much appreciated. The sheer amount of effort and energy spent into defending myself from his hollow accusations could be in the hours, as he wastes all our time. Lost time, which will never be retrieved.

Gramsci, eh?
I'm reminded of one of my favourite quotations, some words from Antonio Gramsci's Prison Diaries that Nadine Gordimer used as the epigraph to her novel July's People: "The old is dying, and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum there arises a great diversity of morbid symptoms." I don't really know what it actually means, but I always feel like a real bad-ass intellectual whenever I say it.

- Ha! I hadn't heard that one Shirt. It sounds more like something Gramsci's right-wing counterpart in Italy, Julius Evola, would have said. DocumentError (talk) 16:51, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Your DYK nomination of Michael Ross (Washington politician)
Hi, the maximum allowed length of a DYK hook is 200 characters, but the one you supplied is 218. It will have to be edited or replaced with a shorter hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:19, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
