Hello, I'm MaskedHero. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Persepolis 2.0 without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! MaskedHero (talk) 00:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I noticed

your recent edit at Talk:Men's rights movement. Where I have been banned for (among things) my vendetta against users who are red links. Editors such as yourself. The reason for my attitude is that many editors spend many hours looking for vandalism, most of which seems to come from either unregistered editors or from red linked ones. As a sign of respect to these editors I suggest that you put something, anything on your user page, which will turn you into a blue link. Now, about your posting. (1) In order to be considered more seriously I recommend that you avoid the word "dude like the plague. (2) It sounds as if you are suggesting that someone else do something about that Tom Moore (if that was his name?) situation. On wikipedia we do these things our selves. Give it a shot.

I've been around since 2011 and am aware I can be singled out for just posting there. The person in question is Thomas Ball. I know it is probably a bad idea to use the word "dude" but that is how I speak in real life. I will not be intimidated to change my speech style. I would edit the article myself but for some reason it is locked until April 15th. Also, it doesn't matter if someone has a red link or not, if you're discriminating that's your problem. --South19 (talk) 23:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for going blue. I had no intention in intimidating you, and choosing to write as you speak on talk pages is fine, as long as you keep in mind that it might cause some editors to not take you seriously. Of course many editors don't take me seriously and my writing is pretty standard. Thanks also for correcting the name "Ball", I was just too lazy to go back and see what you'd written in the first place. Since being banned from the MRM page for a month I did not know that it was locked. Ah... a change. Your recent edit. Well discriminating against red link users is about the least of my problems.

I've edited your comment on Talk:Men's rights movement because it was in violation of WP:BDP. Calling a man who committed suicide a domestic terrorist is not only a violation of wikipedia policy, but is objectively offensive and you should be ashamed of yourself. People like you disgust me.
