@Bradv: ok fine, yes yes. I was bullied into making an account and I finally gave up so here it is. I'm not really feeling social right now and probably going to go to sleep in a short while. IHateAccounts (talk) 03:38, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

I could use one too. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:28, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

pronouns

Not sure if you're aware of this, perhaps you find this helpful: In their preferences, Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal editors can set a value for "How do you prefer to be described?". For example, my preferred pronoun can be used by including {{pronoun|Vexations}} which renders as they. There is a list of related templates at {{pronoun}} you may find useful.

I wasn't aware of it. Thank you! IHateAccounts (talk) 23:50, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

That discussion, we know the one

The goal appears to be exceedingly polite to the point of frustration, and provoke others into incivility. I'd honestly just let it die, and if there are attempts to re-insert without consensus to do so, go from there. ValarianB (talk) 19:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

@ValarianB: Yes, I've pointed out that they're sealioning, per WP:SEALION. Appreciate your thoughts on it! I'm still going to keep an eye on it in case they try to claim that lack of reply means they get to push the BLP-violating material into the page. IHateAccounts (talk) 20:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

@ValarianB: @The Four Deuces: Well... they seem to be violating WP:CANVASS now. [1][2][3] IHateAccounts (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

(Personal attack removed)

Well then. @GorillaWarfare: could you take a look at the above commenter perhaps? IHateAccounts (talk) 21:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Removed the attack and warned. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:59, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Retired and vanished. Rather curious situation from beginning to end, this was. ValarianB (talk) 13:24, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

@ValarianB: That is weird. Them asking for a rename hid some of their WP:BLP-violating sandbox pattern stuff from easy view by breaking the links. I've requested this one [4] be speedy deleted under G10, I don't know if there are others. IHateAccounts (talk) 15:07, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Sidney Powell talk page removals/hatting

Why do you do this: [5] [6] [7]? I don't understand what in that comment has anything to do with what is written at WP:FORUM, and also I don't understand why you take it upon yourself to repeatedly remove/hat it? Does the IP not have a say? Do I not have a say? Are you in charge of who can say what on this talk page? I don't understand your thinking on this. Levivich ^harass/_hound 19:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

@Levivich: I think IHA got the wrong idea from this hatting I did on Talk:QAnon. I was trying to explain the talk page guidelines to them.
@IHA: It's important that you recognize there are two kinds of roles: editors and admins. Editors contribute to the conversation while Admins (and some non-admins like myself) can close them. Admins are also generally the ones to make rulings on WP:FORUM material (assuming they are not WP:INVOLVED) and remove offending comments. (edit conflict) –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Setting time aside to talk

Just wondering if you were able to do that today or tomorrow? –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 23:34, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Sidney Powell

I saw your crucial input on the Sidney Powell article and talk page. My news organization is looking to speak with a few Wikipedians anonymously about their thoughts and interpretations on this person for a story that covers current events like this alongside the birthday of Wikipedia and how wikipedians shape the discussion and shed light on the facts. Do you have a few minutes to spare over email to talk about your perspectives? Thanks very much. I look forward to hearing back from you. Kombucha Morning (talk) 18:16, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Tea for you

Wikipedians also recommend biscuits with tea.

~~~ has given you a cup of tea. Tea promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day ever so slightly better.

Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

@Benevolent human: Probably not a good time to try and mend things with IHA. I'd recommend staying away from them for the time being. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 02:54, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Retract the insult

How dare you accuse me of misgendering individuals.[8] That is an extreme insult. You know nothing about what trans people go through. CatCafe (talk) 05:58, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@CatCafe: Now, I may not agree IHA has been the most of civil of individuals I have known on this site (we're still working on that), but I think that IHA handled this in the most reasonable way I could imagine. You are edit-warring to do something that can reasonably construed as misgendering (even if you disagree).^[9][10][11] –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 06:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

No @MJL: you are wrong, I am WP:BRD - and not misgendering any individual. Keep your insults to yourself please. Good luck with your training and "working on" of IHA - whatever that means. CatCafe (talk) 06:49, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
