Greeetings {{u|Coffee}}! I'm sorry to see you blocked even though I haven't looked in detail at the events which led to this unfortunate situation.

Undo the talkpage deletion, you've done nothing wrong beyond being an emotional human being. Far too often these super-admins overlook the egregious personal attacks which aren't ever retracted or apologised for, yet swoop in, block punitively, and disappear again. You don't deserve such a punitive block, in fact you need a little pat on the back for having the balls to go back to The ed17 and apologise for your behaviour (only to be chided once again, it has to be said). The episode had been closed down, but apparently we have admin monitors who can act with impunity. Please don't be dissuaded, come back fighting. ] (]) 22:19, 14 April 2017 (UTC) |

Coffee, clearly you and I became very heated at each other during that RfA. I'm probably the one who wore down your patience and lit the agitation in you that was only compounded and fueled by others. I want you to know that, ''I don't want you to leave''.--v/r - ]] 12:48, 15 April 2017 (UTC) |

*Enjoy your Easter Holidays and consider returning when they're over (or however long of a wikibreak you'd like to take). Last I checked, Coffee doesn't burn you out, it's meant to re-invigorate. At least that's what all the coffee drinkers tell me, I get by on tea personally. ] (]) 13:28, 15 April 2017 (UTC) |

This is probably nothing more than the standard '''tis a shame'' comment, and it'll probably just be ignored like all the rest. I don't think you particularly care about my opinion, but I know things have been entirely too heated lately, and I think everyone has had their turn saying some stupid shit, myself included. But I don't like coming laying wreaths on the headstones of lost editors, especially if I, in my own stupidity have managed to contribute in any way to that. If I have I'm sorry. Hopefully I'll meet you out there on an article soon. The rest be damned. ] 13:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC) |

:Agreed. Enforcement of NPA is subjective and frequently arbitrary. I hope that Coffee, when he gets to read this, takes away from it that he is appreciated, that people he has never met value his contributions, and that whatever else may be going on his life certainly ''here'' he is viewed by large numbers of total strangers as an important and special person. Yes, you did put your finger on the Misplaced Pages aspect of this, which needs to be addressed, and being an administrator Coffee is in a unique position to be a positive force in that discussion. However, I think the discussion is required even if he chooses not to return. Indeed, it is even more important if he does not. ] (]) 13:41, 20 April 2017 (UTC) |

You were so good at tracking a particular LTA. Ever since you left it's like the vandal has free reign. Now I think on a daily basis they show up at AIV. You're one of the few users who understands this is a ban-evader and how to deal with them. I hope you return sometime soon. ] (]) 00:34, 2 September 2017 (UTC) |
