😔

I think we can agree on that one. Me and MrX rarely agreed either but that does not mean I wanted to see them leave like this. I do hope you return. PackMecEng (talk) 19:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I endorse this comment. I always viewed MrX as someone I could approach for a better discussion no matter if we disagreed on the content. Mr Ernie (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's a shame. I was going to ask MrX to help write a refinement of the RfC guidelines to cover challenged closes, because we have terrible processes around this and it is probably the only area on Wikipedia where a single person can effectively mandate specific content. Guy (help! - typo?) 21:10, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MrX, I do hope you return to the project, even if after you take time off. Your contributions have been superb, and greatly valued - certainly by me and many others. You know, I'm strongly reminded of a quote by John G. Roberts, Jr., talking about a difficult case:

"Any time Judge Garland disagrees, you know you're in a difficult area. And the function of his dissent, to make us focus on what we were deciding and to make sure that we felt we were doing the right thing, I think was well-served."

We the community - and ultimately our end-user, the reader - have always been well served by your contributions and wisdom. And it would be regrettable if this one messy disagreement between you and Guy — two users I respect very much — led you to part ways with the project permanently. Be well, and all best wishes. --Neutrality^talk 21:29, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality, Thank you. I like and respect MrX. I am mystified by the trajectory this has taken, and genuinely mortified that he has expressed a desire to leave, on which I hope he reconsiders. I hope people will take a look at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment § Process for challenging closes. Guy (help! - typo?) 21:37, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you're taking a break because of this, it's unnecessary, except of course as merited holiday if stress was too high. It's unfortunate when what should be a hobby becomes responsibility, work and no play (and that of course happens because we care about the project). I hope to see you around again when you feel like it, —Paleo Neonate – 02:03, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Best of luck with what you do. Kraose (talk) 13:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a sad turn of events, but here's to happiness in your break, and in your life, MrX. starship .paint (talk) 03:42, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you ever come back, here's some tea for you. Lucky wiki-tea doesn't get cold. starship .paint (talk) 14:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rather late here due to my break, but like others I wish you well and happiness in your life. I'll never forget the help you gave me when I first started here and even after that, you remained someone I could look up to as an editor for his wisdom and who always remained civil even amidst the most controversial discussions. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A toast sandwich for you!

Looks like I missed something a few months ago, and only just realized I hadn't seen your name around in a while.

Looking at the food or drink items in the WikiLove gadget like greeting cards, I'm thinking about the signification of the various options. Something sweet? Savory? Coffee/tea seem pretty generally friendly, I guess. I'll go with toast sandwich because I have no idea what that would mean to receive a toast sandwich. Kind of a "huh?" -- but maybe a "huh?" that draws your attention to Wikipedia long enough to come back after a [restful, hopefully] break. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Rhododendrites. I appreciate your sentiment. And I've always appreciated your insightful comments that accrue to the benefit of Wikipedia. - MrX 🖋 20:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some baklava for you!

Also miss having MrX around. Great contributor. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 18:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Stefka Bulgaria, for your kindness. - MrX 🖋 20:38, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
