	Alison,

	Just a short personal note from us all, so you know that everyone, from the new users you help, to administrators, to almost all on English Misplaced Pages, will miss you and wish you godspeed. Much sadness for one of the few Wikipedians for whom one might say there was/is communal love, rather than just respect or approval... and hoping it is temporary but understanding the impact of things, and why it's as it is.

	This note is posted on behalf of all of us, in addition to any messages any have expressed in private; we know how much you would wish to avoid a circus of hundreds of messages, but we wanted to write something in public as well as individually in private, even whilst respecting your wish not to dwell upon it here. We want to be clear that ] of many users does not mean lack of caring.

	The help you have given to many users, freely and widely, is unlikely to ever be forgotten.

	For and on behalf of ], and any and all of the following:

	: ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ],

	and the community as a whole,

	:I second the above thoughts. Whatever possible disagreement I may have had in the recent controversies, I think Alison is one of the "good guys" (or gals) and hope her departure is temporary. ] (]) 00:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	: I just noticed this. While I'm not quite sure what happened, I've seen refs to WR and off-site harassment. I'm very sorry to hear this. Best wishes, and much thanks. Cheer-up, it's not real-life here. ] 07:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
	: I'm sorry this happened to you. You've been extremely helpful and I appreciate that very much. It is just a website and you did the right thing. Nothing is more important than the safety of your family. ] (]) 08:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
	::Your health and safety is more important than any tool. If I had a choice, I would definitely go down this path. It's not the end of the world, you can still edit; and the sysop tools is just a conductor of drama, so there's no loss really. Maybe this will allow more time to do what this website is meant to do, give knowledge. Happy editing Allie :) —] <sup>]</sup> 08:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
	:::I too am deeply saddened by this. I hope you return and follow through to a better ending. Regards, ]] 14:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
	One of the darkest wiki days ever. You're a great admin and in my book THE BEST CU ever. Things will never be the same. <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — ] • ] • </span> 15:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	Every aspect of this situation is deeply upsetting and unacceptable. Please accept my very best regards and hopes and wishes. ] (]) 15:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	:I understand your decision, yet greatly regret that you were pushed into it. You were a good contributor and user of the tools, significantly improving the average standing of those in your position. ] 16:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	Your decision is your own, hopefully you'll still be around on freenode and sociable. :) --] <sup>]</sup> 16:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	Alison, I granted your rollback request. I don't really know what's going on, but I hope you're alright and wish you the best. ] 19:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	Strongly to be missed. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 06:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

	This is the first time I've ever dropped a note like this to somebody with whom I've never actually interacted but I wanted to say that I'm sad to see you relinquish your various privileges, because, from observation, I always felt that they were in extremely good hands with you. Best wishes, ] (]) 07:03, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

	==You still kick ass==

	Period. Do your thing, take care and most of all, make sure whatever you do, you have fun doing it! -- ] ] 16:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	I would suggest the possibility that you might have an e-mail. --<small>] (] - ])</small> 16:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

	I dont like to reply to him with this account if I can help it, so I opened a new account to reply to his message on the talk page, that I might just scrap.

	He seems to want to suppress a quality reply to his IP sock discussion on the geordies of note page. He is ironically using his sock IP address to call my sock a sock. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:List_of_Geordies&action=history

	Here is the latest page he has suppressed the debunking with his last edit:

	http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:List_of_Geordies&oldid=199637388

	He wont let the debunking reply stay up and is using his sock to call my other response account to him a sock

	wait a minute, Gregs the baker has just admitted above that he is used a sockpuppet in order to win an argument on an extremely controversial topic that he was blocked for edit warring on in the past, he seems to think his use of sockpuppets to win the argument is justified? does ] allow this?
