NOT REALLY COMPLETELY BACK EXACTLY, BUT KIND OF TENTATIVELY HERE-ISH (SORT OF)

Reporting for light duty. Nothing stressful...

ANI

Just a head's up, somebody's created a thread about you on ANI here Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Ritchie. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm sure there's some irony in taking someone to ANI for saying "fuck" while ignoring all context, and then coming up with this. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 14:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Irony is certainly not in short supply on WP. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:23, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Obituary

The obituary of Obitauri. No, I'm sure you've seen it. I just thought I'd say that. As your press secretary, I instruct you to continue to say inappropriate words. Bishonen | talk 20:00, 6 September 2013 (UTC).

Actually, I just blocked someone for using bad words. Do as I say, not as I do. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:31, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Unless you had actually hired them as your straightman, that person really needs a press secretary. My own services are very exclusive, though. Prospective clients have to become famous (or, as in Floquenbeam's case, "wonderful") first, then I'll consider taking them on. Apply at my talk or here. Bishonen | talk 20:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC).

Re your block on User:Benobikenobi

May I suggest you let his newbie explore his options before consigning him to the scrap heap. We often see this sort of emotive editing on articles concerned with The Troubles when someone is new. He just needs to learn the WP:FIVEPILLARS and get a little guidance before editing again. Of course if he were to repeat this type of behaviour I'd be behind you all the way. SonofSetanta (talk) 17:09, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough, I've restored talk page access. I'd be opposed to unblocking prior to a clear agreement not to do that again, though. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:12, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Fair comment from SoS, but I hold little hope for this one Floq. Murry1975 (talk) 18:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm not really that optimistic either, but SoS has a point that I was probably too quick on the draw as far as talk page access was concerned. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:24, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

... for being a voice of sanity and basic human decency here. Please don't leave - if you do, I'll be the only sane (or only insane) one left in this place. MastCell ^Talk 18:12, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

So we've sunk so low that I'm a voice of sanity and basic human decency? Yikes. (and thanks.) --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:23, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

You are. For other voices see bottomless bottom of my talk. Proud of surviving, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:58, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Of course, my compliment has immediately been seized upon as evidence of my (and your) unfitness as administrators. I take it back; you are a horrible person and a sorry excuse for an editor, unworthy to bear the universally esteemed mantle of Wikipedia Administrator. MastCell ^Talk 19:08, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
