Dear Lady Catherine (or, as I may again call you, mrs Rollbacker), welcome back to us! I noticed that you had apparently mislaid your rollback rights somewhere in the Alps or the Carribbean.

== I am honored ==

Lady Catherine, I am most honored and humbled that you have taken note of me. I greatly thank you for having not only read what I have posted, but to take your most valuable time to respond to me. You are of course very correct that I expressed myself poorly in regards to my thoughts of your nephew Giano. What I should have expressed is that Giano appears to disagree with some of the "''posts''" that Andy has made, and I very incorrectly posted that it was a dislike for a "person". I do thank you for very kindly reminding me of facts without chastising me in a fashion which I must admit that I likely deserved. <''bows respectfully''> — <small><span class="nowrap" style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 20:01, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh dear, sweet ] how very kind of you to leave your basket to come here, and ] to leave his humble, little, white washed cottage (I was so afeared it may have been swept over the cliffs in those dreadful English storms); I'm sure that I'm completely undeserving of so much attention - people so often avoid the elderly, weak and defenseless at Yuletide, leaving them to starve and die of cold in their damp garrets. However, none of them has suffered as much as I this Christmas: In my absence, Scrotum Towers has been bugled by art thieves - who left empty handed, my butler has drunk the cellar (so famously haunted by a blue nun) dry, and my maid has absconded with my second best parure. Consequently, I've been forced to spent the period amongst alien Catholics in Sicily - some ghastly little priest invited me to confess on Christmas Eve - confess to what? Never apologise and never admit; that's my motto, and it goes for God too. Darlingest, wonderful Giano was sweet to invite me to Palazzo Splendido for the duration, but really! The children are out of control, and I suspect his wife has a drink problem (whenever I approached, she reached for a decanter in a most threatening manner). So, I appreciate those few loyal friends that I have remaining coming here to my frail bedside. I note that not one of the new Arbs has been here to kiss my hand on appointment - a grave mistake! A happy New Year to you all. ] (]) 19:08, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Some people seem to feel that bad language is something used by men to intimidate women, and even argue that fact here; but this is complete nonsense.

:::While I am quite sure that Lady Victoria is well meaning, her remarks show her to have a lack of wisdom and basic common sense; no one alive (not even dear Mr Trump) has more compassion and empathy with the homeless than myself. However, to eat fish in a warm climate is a very foolish thing to do, and as for sushi: Well! one will only be contaminated with parasites and whatnot. Anyway, the last thing the homeless need is visits the Caribbean and Japan. I don't care for Japan: all those grinning people bowing all over the place, doing yoga and wearing peculiar hats when sight seeing en masse and cluttering up the pavements of London. As for Caribbeans, I've no idea at all what they look like, probably like Mexicans, and they are very odd too. With people like Lady Victoria around, it's a wonder the homeless aren't storming the gates of Buckingham Palace. ] (]) 20:43, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Madame/Sir/Otherwise<sup>(delete as applicable)</sup>,

As you may know the Wikimedia Foundation has concluded its program to expedite the essential activity of the ] and ] workflows. Using the techniques of ]<sup>(],])</sup>, a clade of clones has been deployed and assessments of new articles are now made extremely rapidly and without error. The program was extended by allowing editing to the article on the ]<sup>(],])</sup>, and a considerable improvement has been visible to all. However, there were some slight indications that the clones did not possess neurological activity above the level of the ]. An impartial<sup>{{font color|navy|}}</sup> RFC was conducted to decide whether this constituted a very considerable benefit or a minor shortcoming and to confirm that clone editing should become ubiquitous. At the time of the first artificial break (16.7 microseconds) all 3057 opinions were for ubiquity. Subsequently the thrust of the discussion was less easy to discern with people calling each other rude names, not seeming to answer the question (or, indeed, any question), and claims of breach of ], ], ] and ]. A panel of three highly distinguished administrators (ex-arbitrators to a man) were enjoined to close the discussion. Their conclusion was "'''keep'''", modified after representations to an alternative "'''delete'''". A discussion to decide how this conclusion should be implemented was very rapidly closed with the unanimous decision that clone accounts would be '''keep'''ed and all other accounts would be '''delete'''d.

Tests indicate that some edits from your account emanate at or above the level of the ]. Indeed there are suggestions of activity in the ]/]/]<sup>(delete as applicable)</sup>, although the involvement of the ] has been ruled out. This message is to advise you that henceforward and heretofore your account will be deleted. Until this is actioned your edits will be reverted as applicable/as not applicable<sup>(delete “as applicable”)</sup>. We wish you a prosperous/happy/fulfilled<sup>(delete as applicable)</sup> retirement.<sup>(],])</sup> 21:32, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

::For any Frenchman to celebrate the Revolution is akin to celebrating the day your mother contracted cholera. All of the great calamities of the modern world are the fruit of the Revolution. The two world wars. Social violence and class warfare. Communism and Nazism, the two most murderous ideologies in the history of the world are the bastard children of the French Revolution. The history of the French Revolution is written in blood and it is still being written. Gravilo Princip, Lenin, Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, any of the various Kims, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, & etc. are the spiritual heirs of Robespierre. The true symbol of modern liberalism is not liberté, égalité, fraternité, it is the guillotine. See also Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s speech on the Vendee . -] (]) 17:53, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

::I quite agree with that nice little Mr ]. I don't approve of the French Revolution either, or any other revolution come to that. They are generally nothing more than the lower classes exhibiting an unfortunate lack of good manners and ingratitude. Just look at the wretched countries that have had them - what good has it done them? The Americans had one, threw all that good tea into Boston harbour, incited the Red Indians and Inuits and whatnot to riot and sent poor King George III quite mad, and what do the Americans have for all this trouble and mayhem? Mr Trump and that peculiar, great statue. If you ask me, they would be better off with dear Queen Elizabeth (a very close and personal friend of mine). With the exception of dear Signor Mussolini (to whom I was very close), I generally don't trust dictators because they all look so very odd and have funny hair - just look at Hitler and that strange youth in North Korea. Poor Lenin, of course, didn't have any hair, but I expect he looked odd when he did. We do live in a strange world. ] (]) 10:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
