Misplaced Pages

Question from a few days ago?

Hi Russell.mo, a few days ago you had a question for me here, I didn't have time to reply then, but now it is gone. I understand that you may like to keep a clean talk page, but I'm also not going to dig through the history to find it again. If you'd like you can post the question directly to my talk page.

SemanticMantis:

So so so, late late late!!!

Firstly, I messaged on my page cause you won't clean your page.

Secondly, the view history option is there, so I'm using WP systematically. A lot of people keep their pages clean, so I thought I'd do the same too.

Thirdly, Nosy people are out there who'd do that anyway (no matter what).

You went on holiday I guess. Don't mind if I call you on my page please?!? Let me know if you do, I won't mind and won't disturb you...

Yeah, I've been traveling a bit. I don't mind if you ping me, but no, I won't go digging through your page history. Lol, I have cleaned my talk page at least three times this year. I don't really care if you keep yours full or empty, but if you ask me a question here, leave it here, or I might not be able to respond. SemanticMantis (talk) 18:24, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

It is even better to archive your talk page than to clean it. While cleaning a talk page is permitted, if an editor has been given warnings, cleaning them off the talk page can be seen as an unsuccessful attempt to blow away the warnings. So: You are permitted to keep a clean talk page, but you are not encouraged to do so. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Robert McClenon: Roby, I dislike having baseless arguments. I understand your point of view, all I can say is: Opinions vary. Regards. -- Apostle (talk) 19:45, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Do not insult me by calling me a boy's name. It is true that opinions vary and you are entitled to yours. While Misplaced Pages permits you both to blank your talk page and to call me by a boy's name, I have the right to decide that you have insulted me. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

On second thought, since English isn't your first language, maybe you didn't know any better. On third thought, you evidently know enough English to be able to form diminuitive nicknames, so you should know better. Apology accepted only if offered. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Of course, why not; as/cause I've insulted my-self considering your message friendly. I believe you wish to be respected, like an adult.

Please, "do not come to my talk page with baseless arguments" - this is my Profile's Talk page (my personal space) not the Reference Desk or an article's Talk page, or your page - as an adult, you should know better; its a community that permits good-willed not narrow minded things.

I'm not here to argue and win with Wikipedians. I apologise for my idiocy. I'm not expecting an apology from you as it won't be accepted. Therefore, I won't reply if you wish/continue to argue intentionally... No thanks for insulting me. -- Apostle (talk) 21:26, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

SemanticMantis: Okay! Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers! -- Apostle (talk) 19:45, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
