| {{od}}''MBisanz'', your apparently obsessive behaviour, including your inability to recognize that your appalling treatment of my personal correspondence from several months ago involving a serious matter failed to show me human decency or personal respect, and your multiple pointless harassing warnings my user talk page are highly disturbing. Go back to the AN thread you seem so interested in and read it properly. '''No image has ever been part of my signature'''. For someone with trusted status, your failure of judgement in raising a blatantly out of process RFAR, a pointless and out of process WQA thread (as it was raised in parallel with the open RFAR) and now issuing incorrect warnings about things that never happened, seems to look like a pattern of incompetence when it comes to your ability to look rationally at my contributions to Misplaced Pages. If you have personal problems with me, I urge you to raise these with an administrator you trust independently to review, so ''they'' can contact me instead of ''you''. If you have problems with me as a trustee of Wikimedia UK, please raise these with the UK Chief Executive, details at ]. | |||
| Please go away, seriously, I can see no possible good coming from you writing here again with further warnings or unwanted advice, and it now looks as though you are on a personal campaign to hamper my enjoyment of this project.

| An image was clearly part of your signature in , specifically ], which renders as ]. You signed with an image about ten times. As MBisanz says, we don't allow images in user signatures. We somewhat allow political statements, I guess, but you should probably remove that part too. | |||
| Your response to MBisanz's note was inappropriate. Writing long paragraphs doesn't obscure the fact that you were wrong. Just say "okay, I won't use images in the future, thanks for the note" and move on. Attempting to dramatize the situation serves no one. --] (]) 22:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC) | |||

Having intermittent problems has been a real drag and hard to diagnose. I'll probably have to swap out my memory rather than getting a new machine, running long term diagnostics to make sure before forking out hard cash.

| :::::::: As for joking about LGBT problems on Misplaced Pages, it would be pretty odd if nobody within the massive numbers of our contributors had any problems with corresponding with LGBT people. To write off any concerns that this may, from time to time, be an issue as some sort of nutty vast anti-gay conspiracy is to deny a fact of life. As someone approaching 50 who over the years has had friends beaten unconscious and permanently disfigured during homophobic attacks, and known people who were murdered just for being thought to be gay, you might give me a bit of space to have minor concerns about odd patterns of behaviour on Wikimedia projects any time LGBT issues become involved. --] (]) 22:42, 8 May 2012 (UTC) | |||

| * ], 14-15 September - conference hosted by WMUK and the British Library | |||
