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:-

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. )[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Note

I took your name in vain at WP:ANI, and kinda put some words in your mouth. Once your block expires a few hours from now, feel free to refute anything I've said, either there or (probably better) right here or on my talk page. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I'll pass... my wife told me that I blew my head off all for nothing, and I quote her saying: "Two wrongs doesn't make one right!" & "Whatever happened to your favourite Don't ever get into fight with pigs quote?" Good gravy, seldom do I get an earful from her and this is one of those times when she really hit the nail right where it supposed to... Well, what does not kill us will only make us stronger, right? That said, let's move on, shall we? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:29, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Rogereeny. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bugsy as Leopold Stokowski. Awesome. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You bet! And if you've seen the whole cartoon, the context becomes clearer, as Bugsy was basically getting revenge on the self-important opera singer. Bugsy does not suffer ~~fools~~ opera singers gladly. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:42, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm... Pipe it down, we're not supposed to say it out loud~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 22:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typo, now corrected. 0:) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, I need to bug out of here soon and I'm scheduled to go on a one week vacation later tomorrow. Please watch this for me, thanks and CBA~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 23:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interaction ban

I'm probably not terribly welcome here, and I don't want to stir anything up. But since both blocks have expired, I'm leaving a note on both of your talk pages that there is an indefinite "full-blown, strictly-interpreted, zero-tolerance interaction ban" between the two of you. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:21, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I... wouldn't say so. In fact, I most welcome your note here as it makes it 100% official now and that there can be no further misintepretation on his part since that last IB was enacted to protect us but he deliberately broke it the minute it expired. FWIW, I can sleep in peace now knowing full well what it means for him and you can be one hundred percent damn sure that I will fully adhere to the letter and spirit of the law of this IB I've proposed. Yes, I proposed it first but he took it to ANI to pre-empt me on both occasions. Anyway, like I've said: "Happiness isn't derived from gloating and/or commenting on the behaviour and/or block of another editor", even though countless trolls and vandals (to clarify, I'm not referring to a regular editor like him so there!) whom I've sent to the chopping board of AIV knows full well what I meant by that but still choses to read it their way to justify their story/rationale. To which I shall bid them adieu~! Now let's get back to our serious business of editing here on English Wikipedia, shall we? Again, thank you so much and hallelujah~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 14:58, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And if Abhijay breaks it again, drop a line to an administrator. Floquenbeam or I will be glad to look into the matter quickly and take appropriate action. But I have to say, making too much out of that one revert of his (sure, he broke the rules) does not help your case. You have tested the waters at ANI--nobody there likes much drama anymore. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 03:03, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dave, fair warning: Abhijay changed names--he's now Soviet King (talk · contribs). Take it easy, Drmies (talk) 01:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dave - My deepest apology

Dave You were right and I was wrong. And I should have known better. My most deepest and sincere apologizes. And as I basically told Wilson, "If I ever get in the mood to play Saint Jack Wiki, just shoot me and put me and everyone else out of their suffering. Jack --Jackehammond (talk) 03:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries but let me end this with the joke below, cheers and best~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

“

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and I could hear a lot of people shouting "13... 13... 13." The fence was too high to see over but I saw a little gap between the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on. Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick, and then they all started shouting "14... 14... 14."
