Anarchism section
I like what you've written, it seems researched and seems to have engaged with the arguments of various parties. Would you like to talk about it? 21:05, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to add to the above comment, I added your section back with a bit of modification. (I removed the list and incorporated it into the main body of the text.) I take no credit though, as the bulk of the work was yours. 03:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait, you are the one who suggested to remove that section, and when I copy paste it right back you refer to it as “well researched”. This feels like crossroads I have only been here for like 2 seconds. The 𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk  stalk 04:00, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, when the section was a poorly thought out list and an equally poor rebuttal, I was indeed in favor of removing the section. Since it has been expanded to actually explain the topics, I am now for it, as my main criticism has been addressed. 04:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

I apologize
I apologize if my behavior back in the anarchism talk page came off as hostile and aggressive. I don't want you to feel unwelcome and I think that you can provide the wiki with much needed help in combating wood and conspiracy nonsense.Tuxer (talk) 22:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem! It is my fault I didn’t see that earlier. Sorry for the exceptionally late reply, I was sleeping when all this was taking place.  The 𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk  stalk 03:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Don't delete talk pages for deleted articles
We don't do that here. We always keep the talk pages for articles that have been deleted. It's one of RationalWiki's quirky traditions. Spud (talk) 13:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It’s a transparency thing. All talk page comments are public historical record unless it’s particularly odious trolling that gets removed quickly. (particularly entertaining talk page records can be found in the Israel-related pages) 04:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Certainly. The 𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk  stalk 04:49, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Socdemwiki
May I ask you what that comment meant? "The past will always come back to haunt you. Whether its to teach a lesson, remind you of forgotten feelings, or to just be a b*tch." 15:16, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * lol i was just thought to say hi, but thought that would be too boring, so I tried to think of something on top of my head and searched for “past quotes” on gogle, and found this and just copy and pasted it there. If you think there was some hidden meaning behind my intentions or I was trying to signal something cryptic, your wrong. It’s just that I am weird, and now that you mention it I don’t know why. My mind is simply wired to constantly try to retire to pseudo-cryptic linguistics. I think this paragraph itself is the same, really, maybe, kinda. 11:57, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

You Rolled back my Edit on the Anarchism Draft
May I ask why? It was on a talk page, I don't really see what reason you'd have for removing it... Get ready, it&#39;s... (talk) 02:13, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * What? I never even edited the Anarchism draft! You got the wrong man. I did only one edit on the mainstream anarchism page, and that led to banning of a very valuable contributor, so I have vowed to never edit that page ever again. See this. 04:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Apologies. Bit new to the whole wiki thing. This link here seems to suggest you rolled back my edits on the talk page? Though I could be reading that wrong?

Hey
Can you remove the "Re####ed" from your page?--HedvigsenSkreonk here 08:46, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I am afraid I don’t understand. Can you be more specific? What is it? Why is it causing a problem? To whom is it causing a problem? To you, someone else on the wiki, or the wiki itself? The only word I can get out of that is “Referred”, which I have no idea what that means. Are you sure you got the right guy? 12:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The template saying you are pretty retarded. If you wonder why it is a problem, this link sums it up.--HedvigsenSkreonk here 17:03, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you!--HedvigsenSkreonk here 06:30, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Holy crap I knew nothing about this. 04:25, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

WIP
So, your WIP template on List of websites owned by Mike Adams has been up since September. By default, the template says, "If this template is up for more than a few weeks without activity you may remove it." Do you have any objections if I remove it and do some more editing? Do you have more plans for this page? Bongolian (talk) 18:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I do have plans for that page, but I have never gotten around implementing them. Several websites are missing from the list, but nevertheless, the WIP template can be removed. I may fix those issues another time... 03:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks! Bongolian (talk) 04:41, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

We have another Wikipedia template
We have another Wikipedia template for using in references and external links, Template:Wpa. Whereas writing {{wpl|Rainbow (TV series)} produces, writing produces. Please make use of the Wpa template in external links in the future. Spud (talk) 06:26, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I will keep that in mind. 08:45, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Given you ninja
Since you like using hotcat to tag, it tends to clog up recent changes. I've given you the ninja role. That allows you to mark yourself as a bot, which hides your recent edits from Special:RecentChanges. If you feel like going on a categorizing spree (which is good, categories do help!) you can now mark yourself as a bot to avoid clogging up Recent Changes. I trust in your ability to not abuse this right ;) 12:07, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I don’t even care about clogging up the recent changes, it just sounds pretty cool that you can be a ninja and hide your edits by transforming into the bot. Seems like I wont be needing this Template:User Notaninja template again. 12:13, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That's the spirit! 12:33, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Good job, you.
I saw the icon you made in the bar. Looks great, good job. :) Twodots (talk) 21:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Difference between paranormal and supernatural
I'd say they both mean the same thing, but paranormal is meant to have a veneer of respectability. Which is to say, paranormal research is intended to be a field of study. The term supernatural has no such pretensions. Hopefully I didn't just start a debate on postmodernism on your talk page--Hastur! (talk) 21:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That depends, do you want one? — Oxyaena Harass  22:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's keep this out of my user talk page, shall we? 04:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the James Corbett Page 2.30.200.209 (talk) 20:39, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, um, thanks. My first page I hugely contributed to. Every crank needs a page! 03:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Awesome award
Great work on several pages! Bongolian (talk) 02:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
