Thank you

Thank you for expressing your support for me in the User_talk:PumpkinSky#Sanddunes_Sunrise thread and/or participating in the User_talk:PumpkinSky#Ostereierbaum_.28Easter_Egg_Tree.29 thread. Peace to everyone. PumpkinSky talk 00:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for making me smile: I ask my friend to check an article (BWV 67) and its hook for DYK and you think "apparently it is some obscure slight" (what's slight, btw?), - interesting, it was nominated well before the discussion above began ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

You made the post after I posted on PS's page... honestly, it doesn't make much sense. Then you came here and made the same citation in your criticism of me... so I thought it was intended as some sore of slight... but again, I had no idea of what you were saying. If it is a linguistical difference or wasn't intended as a slight, my apologies. But I really didn't care to read the article to try to figure out what you were saying, in either place. But we've talked since then, so hopefully, we've cleared the air already over some misunderstandings.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 14:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I hope so, although I still don't know what a slight is ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

A "slight" is a veiled insult or subtle attack. When I saw your posts on PS's page referencing Bach's piece... and then you came to my page accusing me of being rude, and then citing Bach's piece, I took your original post on PS's page to be a veiled insult or a "slight". If your post on PS's page wasn't intended to reference me, then I took it wrong after seeing your post here... but again, that is neither here nor there... it's in the past and as far as I am concerned, I'm chalking it up to a misunderstanding.

Ich hab' viele Deutsch vergessen.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 17:38, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, got it. My nomination about peace was made 11 April. The way of making peace as described in the cantata (repeat softly) can't be repeated too much. No (special) relation to your entry was intended. I merely thought that you used a strong image about other people, too strong for my taste in the context, but I accept that it's my personal view. Turn the page? Understand better? I do. Andreas Scholl sang "He was despised" with us here, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Peace made Main page history, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Heh

I was just thinking, "hey, where's that barnstar he promised me?" :) 28bytes (talk) 23:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Decided that 2 days might be seen as a challenge, 3 days it starts to be seen more as a fait accompli.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 01:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I think it's safe to say that, at this point, PS's future is in PS's hands. If he stays on the straight and narrow, creates great content and declines the many temptations and invitations he'll get to partake in a battle, then all will be well. Which is as it should be. 28bytes (talk) 01:30, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Agree... and I would be surprised if we have any major problems that have plagued other users who have tried to come back recently. Although I noticed that you removed that barnstar almost as soon as I gave it---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 01:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Nah, not removed, just archived. Thought it was a good epilogue to that book, but time to turn the page, to mangle a metaphor. :) 28bytes (talk) 02:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

(watching, smiling) excuse me for un-archiving one entry, 28bytes, still active: 6074 the fist day of Move Like This), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

More regarding your RfC comment

When you're done looking at my talk page and Brendon's talk page, in case you miss it you might want to also look at THIS. Cheers.Griswaldo (talk) 18:49, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to be kept abreast if you file a case against me.

You wrote on Griswaldo's user-talk page, "I'm actually preparing a case right now. Did you realize that he violated WP:CANVASS at LEAST 16 times."

All I'm asking is that should you choose to file a case with an intention to block me or influence punitive action against me, please notify me right after filing that case wherever you want to. I'd be happy to clarify if you do not understand what I'm saying. Good luck. Brendon is here 05:30, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

You will be... I haven't decided if it's worth the effort... as I fully expect you to fade into the word work now that the RfC is over.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 05:46, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

You can think/do whatever you want. I mean, you're entitled to assume/presume whatever you want just as long as it doesn't break any wiki-policy (I might have unwittingly transgressed some of the behavioral guidelines also). Good-luck with that. Brendon is here 09:13, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Of course now Brendon is going out of his way to do what he hasn't for weeks, edit other pages. That's rich! So maybe you'll fade away in a week or two.Griswaldo (talk) 10:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Compy90

User talk:Compy90 I have no idea what happen but one of BEST contributors , who log in the vest WSOP results has been blocked will you please look into this.thank you in advance.▪◦▪≡SiREX≡^Talk 05:45, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Basically Compy's edits were challenged. He was notified of an ANI discussion and chose not to chime in. He was notified several times that he needed to respond to the ANI discussion, and never did. And he was meanwhile editing elsewhere. Basically, he's been blocked until he is willing to discuss the issues raised at the ANI report. The block is to get him to act.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 06:17, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
