What is the Secret?

Secret? What secret?

Someone asked me via email what is the secret that I've gotten so much vandalism plasted on my pages (130 counts!), drive-by harrassments (coined by Bugs!) and impersonators. To which, I can only reply you something two different Admins told me on two different pages/time:- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gogo_Dodo&diff=438201860&oldid=438201591 ; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ched_Davis&diff=438217890&oldid=438210146 . Then it occured to me, I saw that somewhere on Wikipedia (User:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior#26) that says: "If a vandal insults you, it is a reliable indicator that you are doing something right." And most importantly, I believe in The Secret, doing good will attract more good and as long as I do more good than bad, everything is covered, don't let it bother you too much. Thank you! --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 21:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC) (PPS:Okay, I've kept my end of the bargain, the rest is up to you now - annonymous emailer. ) I haven't seen the film so I don't know how they develop the idea, but it certainly works for the big things -- such as "doing good", "becoming peaceful" and so forth. "Practice loving-kindness and harmlessness as if they were the greatest form of bliss, and they will be." (Tibetan Buddhist saying, I think quoted by Thich Nhat Hanh) Antandrus (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Yeah, as well as Desmond Tutu, its as if they all understand it without actually saying it. Great minds do indeed think alike! --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 22:16, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Go, and Wiki-sin no more!

Your user page

Hi. I re-worked your user page. It's much simpler now. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hey~! What's the big idea~?!? *lol* --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 17:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Page unprotected

Hi Dave, I see that the protection has been removed from this page. Feel free to drop me a line if you start having problems with vandals again. I'm not going to watchlist the page because of (in all seriousness) what your aqua blue background does to me eyes. Cheers, Nick-D (talk) 11:24, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

• Roger, wilco~! (Sorry about the colour, my eyes are too used to red at night, aqua blue is badly needed to balance it out. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:40, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Two things

First... damn your talk page header is looong! :p
Secondly, how do you get that little IAR banner to display? :) Salvidrim! 00:54, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

• One; if I hadn't just archived the previous messages, your puter might have committed suicide. Two; I have added the IAR-ribbon/tag to your page. Any thing else I can help you with? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:40, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

• • Oooh, thanks! I'll have a tinker with it later today. :) Salvidrim! 09:46, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
    • Awww, thought I could change the text, but it's an actual image. :( Salvidrim! 15:35, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hey, you didn't ask so I thought you'd have noticed~! :P --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
