Let's make this an opportunity to unhate!

The Fæ classy in crisis LGBT ally Barnstar!

Because we need to show our overwhelming support of what people hate on to create unhate whenever it shows up. I compel everyone that supports unhate to repost this on their user page or talk page and especially on any page that has been the location of LGBT harassment or ignorance, that way the haters will know the only consequence of their hate will be more gayness and education and community.

Thanks, I'm all for confronting haters back with a big dose of gayness and gay love. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

You must have missed that Russavia got one also. Right above the discussion on Polandballs :) --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:55, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I was in a talk today with Bishop Gene Robinson who has his own (severe) personal experiences of harassment and death threats over the last few years, for obvious reasons. His view was that the opposite of love is fear, not hate. It's quite a well thought out point with regard to homophobic attacks and I rather like to think our Wikimedia community could consider a positive aim of ending fear through knowledge, communication and awareness rather than reacting to hatred. --Fæ (talk) 23:05, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure some chap in the Bible originated that viewpoint. Something about perfect love casteth out fear...? Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:23, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I was using a secondary source in line with policy. --Fæ (talk) 23:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

It is my honour:

		Fae, this is for your bravery at the ANI, the willingness to stand up to the abusive bullies who hold the majority there.—Djathinkimacowboy 04:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

		The Special Barnstar
		You deserve two commendations ... plus I just love the rainbow in this one. —Djathinkimacowboy 04:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. After a couple of days to think about it, I'm still disgusted at how a small number of people contributing to the ANI thread are arguing that telling anyone to fuck off with their queer agenda could be described as anything other than blatantly homophobic. I have raised the problem of unacceptable homophobia on Misplaced Pages with a couple of the WMF board members I had personal chats with at the Berlin Chapters Conference this weekend. --Fæ (talk) 23:41, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiLove message

Hello, Fæ! Seen that you've liked some of my previous works, I thought that I'd dedicate the cartoon below to you in honour of your Chairmanship of WMUK, as well as to British scientists elsewhere ;) GreyHood 07:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the dedication. I see your have honoured Wikimedia UK by highlighting Britain's wonderful capital, our love of freedom and enterprise, our financial leadership, our world-class innovative blue-skies science programmes and, of course, our love of political parody. Now, back to my tea and biscuitz. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 16:50, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hiya!

Can we be friends? Arcandam (talk) 11:14, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Of course. I always think of debate and disagreement on-wiki as completely separate from respect for the person, and the opportunity to make friends in our strange collaborative space. --Fæ (talk) 11:18, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Whooohoo! Remember, we may disagree now, but there are plenty of other things we (probably) agree about. I believe Sceptre is capable of answering the three questions I asked him at WP:ANI in such a way that I don't have to worry that this will ever happen again. Arcandam (talk) 11:24, 10 May 2012 (UTC) p.s. It seems User:Fæ/events contains an error BTW.

Thanks for pointing out the error. My page is fine, however some prawn has broken {{dts}}. Too busy to investigate this week, so I'll cross my fingers and hope some template gnome sorts this out. --Fæ (talk) 13:26, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems to be pretty hard to fix. Sorry, I do not have enough template expertise to fix this, it probably needs to reverted to an old version, but I do not know which one. Arcandam (talk) 15:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Notice

Sorry the talkback on twinkle didn't leave the message I intended. I just wanted to make you aware I've replied to User_AndyTheGrump_continues_with_personal_attacks, the diffs are not new. IRWolfie- (talk) 10:51, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I did indeed make an error and I'm grateful you pointed it out. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 11:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

No worries, I made the same mistake when I first saw it too. IRWolfie- (talk) 11:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Cite toolbar

The "Cite" option in the toolbar is missing most of the times in the window while editing. I can't figure out the issue. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 07:32, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

RFPP

You might notice I've jumped in a bit to help at RFPP, a first for me. All the backlog notices convinced me I needed to at least try to help a bit. Feel free to trout me if I screwed up. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 18:21, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your comments on Commons about me

Please see my message on your talk page there and address the issue as soon as possible. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:42, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
