Via e-mail

Welcome to my talk page!

Some ground rules before you leave a message

  1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
  2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
  3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
  4. There is no Rule 4.
  5. Don't post when drunk. Seriously. ;)
  6. All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is private, although I've disabled the Emailuser link. You can, however, reach me here, which starts your e-mail client, which is convenient, and you can attach files too, and you don't need to log in to e-mail me! Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
  7. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
  8. All templated messages (the {{uw}} system) on this talk page will be promptly removed without being read because I am an established user. Please read WP:TEMPLAR.
  9. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
  10. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
  11. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (~~~~).
  12. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a "No Smoking" page.
Thank you. — The Management.

For reminding the Wikipedia community that civility is not an elusive commodity, and that a simple act of kindness can achieve therapeutic results. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

That's for being the second person to drop a no-strings-attached Get Well Soon message on GP75's talk page. I happen to be the first, and I was getting lonely over there. I am impressed that you have the intelligence and sincerity to support GP75. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 03:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I've known GP for awhile now, we've both been topic banned, but I was able to stand up and stay concentrated. You're welcome. BoL (Talk) 03:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I've only known him for a short time, but I also know he's gotten a raw deal. You too, for that matter. Still, you guys have my support. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. BoL (Talk) 03:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
