Catfish, you are very much needed here, Your Enormous contributions are well appreciated. The thread at ANI is discussing the prevalence of such incidents in general. Please do not get offended, some editors were concerned about it, hence the discussion, Hope you will reconsider your decision. regards --DBigXray 12:25, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Dude: toughen up. The world is a rough place, and so is this wiki. Stick to your guns when you feel you're right: don't run away from the situation. Doc talk 12:41, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

The thing you should have done is to accept the (rather constructive) criticism by the other editors and use that to make the necessary adjustments and improve. Sometimes, the best way to improve yourself is by making mistakes. --MuZemike 13:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Guys, thanks. You guys have all been here for much longer than I have. However, Wikipedia is was my hobby. I had only good intentions and I feel as if the ANI report is smashing all of the work I've done here to pieces. Electric Catfish 13:24, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

You feel that way, sure. But I understand (see below) that it should not have happened there to start with. Your work stays even if you leave. Please consider to stay also. - I was close to leaving a year ago, I know the feeling. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Yes, I'll return in a few months when this all gets cleared up. Best, Electric Catfish 13:33, 3 August 2012 (UTC).

A few months? Will it really take you that long to get over it? It's cleared up. Get on with what you were doing before this. That's a non-admin order! Doc talk 13:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm very upset that other editors perceived my good-faith actions as "malicious". Also, there's no policy that says that non-admins can't do what I'm doing. I think that an RFC on this issue would be great. Best, Electric Catfish 13:40, 3 August 2012 (UTC).

No one in that thread used the word "malicious". You are overreacting by retiring for a few months, but you seem to have already decided what your plan is. Good luck. Doc talk 13:45, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Don't let it bug you.

Don't let an overblown report at ANI, that should have been handled elsewhere, drive you away. Seriously. It can be maddening, but just take a day off and try to overlook it if you can. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 13:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Mentoring

After a bit of a chat by email, I'm under the impression that Catfish won't be gone for ever, and he's agreed to mentoring when he gets back. If anyone wants to chat with me over the matter, you know where to find me. Worm^TT(talk) 14:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
