| DG, I've posted a note on Gavin's talk page reaffirming the terms of the agreement I had with him. However, I can only enforce it if you tell me what's going on. You don't have to go into details but a note on my talk page saying whether it's a 3RR, personal attack or whatever, plus diffs would be very helpful.

| I talked with my local police today and I am prepared to take legal action against you if you keep on tracking me and harrasing me, under the law I can get your for stalking me under § 750.411s. I dont know what your problem with me is, but I have done nothing to you. So I am offering a truce, if you continue to pursue me then the police are going to file a report with the local prosecutors office and they will get the court to get the legal documents needed to get your IP address from the Wikimedia foundation located in Florida USA. At that point they will find out who you are and were you live thru your ISP and take legal action. | |||

Revision as of 20:46, 25 August 2005
I periodically go through and clean out the old comments... This is because they refer to old situations or that the comments are otherwise no longer relevant. Those looking for archives are invited to refer to the history.
Note: If you are here to leave personal attacks, false accusations of vandalism, a long tirade about why your cat photo or article about yourself should be left alone as you and only you wanted, nonsensical rationalizations of why vampires, ancient astronauts, werewolves, "creation science" and so on should be treated as completely real and so forth, do not bother, as I'll either just remove them right away or simply point you to the appropriate Misplaced Pages policy which you should have read in the first place.
Otherwise please add new comments below.

DG, I've posted a note on Gavin's talk page reaffirming the terms of the agreement I had with him. However, I can only enforce it if you tell me what's going on. You don't have to go into details but a note on my talk page saying whether it's a 3RR, personal attack or whatever, plus diffs would be very helpful. Cheers, SlimVirgin 03:32, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
