Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

Whaaat?

This cannot be![1] And the Victoria Line series has barely been begun... I don't know what prompted this but hope all's well with you mate, and that you'll be back with us soon.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:41, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Take a break and do come back

Hi Ritchie333, You have done a great deal valuable work in Wikipedia and many of us appreciate you time spent and contribute to Wikipedia project. Take a break and come back as all things settle in time. Take care. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 07:41, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Seconded. Best wishes, El_C 07:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

?

Despite all our conflicts, you were one of the good guys, who cared for the 'pedia. Don't know the cause but I hope you come back, someday in future. ∯WBG^converse 07:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

+1. What did happen? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

This happened; a secret Arbcom case with no (publicly visible) case request, request for evidence, or finding of fact. While I've explained at length recently why this kind of Nacht und Nebel action is sometimes unavoidable, I find it even less likely that Ritchie333 can be classified under the violent criminals and genuine lunatics which that star chamber clause was intended to address than I do Fram. ‑ Iridescent 09:05, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Ah. That's quite disconcerting. Not to say worrying. Does this mean Threesie now has some kind of "gagging order" over this? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:17, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm subject to an in camera IBAN handed to me by Arbcom, but that was for very different circumstances. There's no reason at all that this was conducted in a similar manner. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 09:29, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

As I'm sure Gerda will remind us all, there is no need for any of us to be told the reasons. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Franz Kafka: Das Schloss
... about alienation, unresponsive bureaucracy, the frustration of trying to conduct business with non-transparent, seemingly arbitrary controlling systems ...

if you need to see it again, - we really have too much of this frustration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:03, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry to hear of the grief, no wonder things have been a bit quiet around here lately. Best wishes. Nortonius (talk) 09:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Man alive

I was just about to finish up the M25 GAN review. I hope you haven't been "got". Don't be a stranger. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 08:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

I see what's happened, and completely understand your frustration. Good luck dude. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 09:28, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me?

I’m hoping this is just a "petulant frenzy".

Also hoping you have a well-deserved break and return when ready. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:13, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Please don't retire permanently

Damn. I saw the AN posting and I could just tell it was bad. Fuck's sake, why the hell wasn't this a public case with public statements? I hope this is a temporary "I need a break Wikipedia" retirement and not a "Apparently I'm not wanted here" – you definitely are – or "I'm done with this shit" – well... it's shit, I'll give you that much – retirement. Now, I'm not gonna see random roads and railways in the UK pop up on my watchlist anymore :( Mr rnddude (talk) 09:36, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
