(looks around, puzzled) Where? I also sing and dance, if anyone's interested. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 05:28, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Saw your non-vote at RFA ... good to see you've emerged from the dark years. - Dank (push to talk) 19:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Of course, within two weeks of returning, I managed to sustain an injury that has made typing extremely laborious. To look on the bright side, it looks like there's a heavily medicated Christmas in store, which at least holds a refreshingly novelty for me! Never a dull moment, anyway. Glad you're still around.

Sorry to hear, get well soon. - Dank (push to talk) 23:26, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! It has been a unique Christmas, in any event. I'm bringing you some eggnog in a minute. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 23:39, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Rivertorch!

your opinion

Your opinion is unwanted and unneeded. you know nothing about climbing . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:805:4201:1737:A83C:1EF4:8F84:5588 (talk) 16:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, I do know the difference between speculation and established fact. Maybe you were thinking of the horse. I know nothing about the horse. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 18:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

IP 213.74.186.109

It seems that user 213.74.186.109 is now active as [1]. Please have a look at [2]. 2003:77:4F1C:7018:91B7:6573:86A5:757C (talk) 10:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

I see you've filed a complaint at WP:ANI, and looking over various page histories I sense that maybe there's some long-running feud going on. My advice: let your ANI complaint (which I have endorsed) play out however it will, stop monitoring the user's edits and the relevant articles, and edit in some other topic area for a while. Yes, they're being disruptive, but it takes two to tango. Ignore it if you possibly can. (Free bonus advice: once this is resolved, register an account. There's no real downside to it, and it allows other editors to be confident they're dealing with the same person every time.) Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 15:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and advice! 2003:77:4F50:AF11:68E1:453D:5A6B:D8A1 (talk) 14:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I wish you'd take my advice. Your IP shifts frequently, so it's impossible to tell if one is talking to the same individual from day to day. In any event, you're edit warring, which is prohibited and may lead to your being blocked or the page in question being locked or both. You also keep invoking my username in your edit summaries, and I rather wish you'd stop doing that; I have no dog in this fight, and I assure you my username carries no weight. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 22:59, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

It's me again. Sorry for mentioning your user name in the comments whilst edit warring on Talk:The New York Times. Anyway, the edit war seems to be over now. The other user (whose edit history in the last days looks quite entertaining) seemed to need a little bit of assistance to hang himself. Edit wars on talk pages seem to be rather rare and by closing that discussion you probably initiated an example of WP:LAME. At the moment I'm still IP-hopping but at some point I may follow your advice. 2003:77:4F53:3733:DC53:64F7:1C24:96A2 (talk) 17:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
