You are highly valued

You are a highly valued and respected editor, and I love you for it. But really, I hope that at least for the next 72 hours, you will agree to be calm and non-attacking while we ALL sort out the difficulties that have emerged. Good people are fighting, and that's unfortunate and sad. I unblocked you, even though I did agree that the block was fully warranted.

In April I will be visiting Taddy Belcher in South Africa. He is the head of Cida City Campus. What is this? It is a free (free as in beer) university which serves the poorest of the poor in South Africa. People who live in shanty towns can come there and get a free education. Thousands of graduates are making a better life for themselves through Taddy's work. Can we support him? Can we, in our own small way, make a beter world? Yes. And so my point is, those who are angry with you, AND YOU, can try really hard to put aside your differences and recognize that our work really can matter to the world. Let's try to do it in an atmosphere of peace and love... all of us together. --Jimbo Wales 00:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Jimbo, thank you for your message, I shall be replying to you later, when have full formulated where I am going with all of this. In the meantime, I note you feel a block is fully warranted for being terse to an IRC stooge sent by a lying admin on IRC is valid. Giano 08:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hummingbird!

Thanks, it's a rare Italian love bird, I find it soothing. Giano 17:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I share your frustration. IRC is such bullshit. Therefore, here's a bird. Merry Xmass!

Buon Natale, Giano! I look forward to a share in your projects. For a bird, don't you rather need an ox-pecker? --Wetman 04:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
