Always nice to see you

Years ago, as a neophyte wikipedian, I tangled with you. Later, I came to understand that my initial judgments about your sometimes brusque approach were wildly misguided. I told you so and you were gracious about letting bygones be bygones.

I see your edits rarely now, but whenever I do it makes me smile, whether I agree with your editorial judgment or not. (On Trudeau, I most assuredly do.)

At the moment, I'm engaged in trying to keep a POV-pusher in check. At just the moment she had goaded me into becoming too hot under the collar to continue constructively, I noticed your Trudeau edit on my watchlist. It made me decide to self-revert a too-snide reply to a provocation I needed to ignore and put a hidden comment in place to try to redirect my interlocutor into a more constructive channel. It may work; it may not. Either way, your appearance on my watchlist served an unintended, but useful purpose for this project we both value.

Thanks.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate this comment. I am far from perfect and I am really glad that my rude obnoxious behaviour did not put you off permanently! I will have a look into the dispute you mention and see if I can help at all. Guy (Help!) 10:14, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Heads up

Just in case you don't get the new Notifications thingy, I've mentioned you here. Graham87 05:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for dragging you into this; the problem I mentioned wouldn't apply to you. It only occurs with users whose signatures don't link to either their user or user talk pages. Graham87 06:34, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Possible change to the behavior of user pages where the user exists, but no local user page exists

Hi. I mentioned you at bugzilla:48667. I'd be curious what you think about the idea. I'm still a bit mixed on it, particularly as I think the change in behavior may upset some people, but perhaps I'm thinking too much about this. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:43, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Alansohn discussion at ANI

I've responded to the most recent messages, which includes evidence of Alan's behavior from the past 6 years, and a call for a resolution. Can you please offer your thoughts? Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 04:49, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
