:Guys, please do not talk about me behind my back, okay? That is just plain rude. And BB110, please (for the second time) stop inserting yourself into conversations I am having with MoP. That is extremely rude. | |||
I deleted the text I left on MoP's page, as my problem with him was resolved and there is no further reason to keep it front and center. BB110, if you have any respect for me (which, quite frankly, I've not seen to date), you would delete this section of your page immediately (this is blatantly insulting) and remove your message on the MoP Talk Page that relates to me (since it is not connected to anything). | |||

Also, the only reason I replied to you on MoP's page was because I saw you leaving messages on his page w/o a reply, and the same on Diligent Terrier's page, whereas I am watching both. <span style="cursor:help"><font color="#FF8C00" face="Elephant">Basketball110</font></span> <sup>''']'''</sup>/<sub>''']'''</sub> 22:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
Okay, this is where I am coming from: I never insert myself into a conversation (online, offline, whatever) where I am not being addressed. If I '''''have''''' to add something, I prefix my messages with something along the lines of "Hello, I am sorry to intrude, but if I can..." etc. That's how I operate. | |||
Eco's world: If I ask a question, I like an answer. If someone promises a commodity delivered at X date, I expect it delivered at X date. If someone is nice to me, I will go the extra mile for them. | |||
As for me being civil -- for the past couple of weeks, I have been under constant and often nasty criticism from a variety of people here on WP. I am not going to ID the people here, since it is not in my character to talk about people when they are not present to defend themselves. Some of these comments were in AfD discussions, which I found astonishing -- who the hell are these guys to ridicule me in front of my peers? | |||
On several occasions, I thought of quitting WP because I hated the mean spirited comments I was receiving. Except for MoP and two other good folks, I've received almost nothing in the way of no-strings-attached positive support. | |||
As for being rude, do you know that I've given Barnstars to people with whom I've had fights -- as a way of saying sorry and making amends? That takes a grand total of 30 seconds to do, but the effects can resonate forever. | |||
As for lacking civility, please go to the talk page for ] -- please see who is trying to keep order in the face of attacks by a malicious editor who openly belittles efforts to expand the page. Yeah, me -- I am getting knocked about and no one comes to my defense. That page just got ] status based on my work -- and do you know how many people spontaneously congratulated me for my efforts in doing this? Zero. Isn't that nice? | |||
The only thing I would ask of people on WP is simple: A spontaneous word or gesture of praise when someone feels I did something worthwhile. I am making a serious effort to contribute to WP, but I am not getting the feeling that anyone cares. So please excuse me if I am a bit cranky -- it can be difficult to be pleasant in a less-than-pleasant atmosphere. | |||
That's quite an aria, no? ] (]) 22:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
:I agree with you, but in the case of butting in on a conversation, I was just trying to help you and MoP with a suggestion or comment.

Hi. Have you ever wondered how your userpages look in non-monobook skins (which, conversely to what one might think are in common use, especially by long-standing contributors)? I happen to use the modern skin (a popular alternative) and I must say that the tricks with floating images completely obscure the action buttons (edit, watch, etc.) and generally look messy as you can . Do you think you could do something about it? Thanks, ]] 09:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC) |
