A gift from Mr. Gustafson to those who have been calling for this.

Is there some third option I'm not seeing?

Obviously we cannot make you communicate. However we can choose to not let you contribute until such a time as you see fit to actually collaborate with other editors. Is this what you're looking for? I'd hate to lose you as a contributor, as you do good work here, but you cannot continue to contribute while refusing to communicate with other editors. Friday (talk) 21:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Friday, you'd love to see me get chopped to little bits, so stop that "hate to lose you" crap. I am responding to queries, just not in the normal method. I am not writing anything, so there is no "collaboration." As I have made clear, at no point have I refused any meaningful or legitimate questioning of my actions (and I have reversed several upon request) - and my method of interaction is not refusal to interact, but just not interacting in the method others choose.
So I am to others dictate how often I archive/blank my talk pages? I am to let others force me into conversations where I have no meaningful input? Apparently I am at the mercy of anyone who wishes to waste my time, when I am not confronting anyone, not editing anything, not taking part in pointless conversations, when all I am doing is deleting random garbage when I get to it, and responding to those who take issue with any deletions quietly, quickly, and curtly. --Jeffrey O.

Chopped to bits? Why? Actually my first choice would be that you simply recognize that as a collaborative project, Misplaced Pages requires reasonable communication between editors. Right now your behavior reminds me quite a lot of Betacommand, who, as I recall, lost his sysop bit for being unresponsive. Friday (talk) 22:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
