Question

Why don't you reply to my post? I was not rude, you just would not reply. Was it because I pointed out a mistake that Wikipedia had made? It seems that way. 142.177.43.186 (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Because instead of leaving the user alone, you decided to post harassing messages on their talk page, giving me absolutely no reason to trust someone who has socked in the past just to harass another person.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 21:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

And that reason is only affirmed, as I just got CU confirmation that you are the person behind that account. Talk about a liar.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 07:58, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I've also deleted your long insulting screed calling me stupid amongst other things, and replied to your thread on ANI before reporting you for harassment, which is why you are now blocked.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 04:18, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism.

Yes, I know. I throw the word around quite a lot. When I say vandalism, I usually mean disruptive. But, I will read up on exactly what constitutes vandalism, for future reference. Thanks for the info! Jayy008 (talk) 22:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

That's really all I need to know then? Jayy008 (talk) 22:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Request for change/feature to Template:Progress meter

• Request:

This is more a note that I changed it, for use with the 2010 Copiapó mining accident: I removed the multiple trailing br tags.

Another would-be-nice feature would be a computed percentage. Oh, and I think red-on-blue is hard to read; a way to change the text color would be nice.

• Reason:

Extra vertical space looks very bad in small sizes. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 15:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

"Discussion"

I am not only an historian, I also know more than a little about mental health. Wikipedia is not the place to beg someone to scratch the itch of your boredom to boost your low self-esteem. I will not come out and play as you requested.

It is apparent that the accuracy and appropriateness of the submitted material is utterly unimportant to you—the stimulation of debate for the sake of having a debate is what you crave, and it does not matter what the debate is about: you are not seeking a true discussion. The historical information you reverted has merit of its own that needs no defense. There is no substantive reason to exclude it.

You have a unique and irreplaceable importance that you do not perceive, and that is tragic. You do not need affirmation of your purpose, and justification of your existence, through futile attempts to provoke an on-going interminable interactive response in a public forum that, quite frankly, has a limited audience internationally. There are many persons who feel that obscurity is a condition far worse than death, and they will do anything to try to eliminate it. When the attempt goes wrong, alienating the very people they wish to impress, they become more isolated than before.

Your own contribution to the human community is of a quite different character than what you think it should be. A social counsellor would be of great benefit in understanding that—or, as you have already indicated, a mental health professional. (I only just now read your link to "perseveration", which confirmed my diagnosis of your situation.)

What is the purpose of human existence? To be loving, to be a friend, thus participating in the divine nature of God Who is love. "To the best of your power be a friend, but if you can't be a friend, be friendly." please see Titus 3:9 —with absolute sincerity, שלם, pax vobiscum —(I will pray for you) Hermitstudy (talk) 15:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
