A "BoN" is a Bunch of Numbers, so hurry up and make an account. Peter ^{This is not my first temporal anomaly} 04:05, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Do I have to have an account, free or otherwise? I'm quite fond of my IP address. 2.217.128.170 (talk) 04:10, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

It gets hard to follow who's who when you're just talking to a string of numerical characters interspersed with full stops. But it's your choice. Peter ^{This is not my first temporal anomaly} 04:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll make sure I can be identified from point-to-point within a conversation, but I don't feel the need to be tracked from article to article. I'm just a reader most of the time anyway. Maybe if I find myself sticking around (and people stop being so surprisingly rude) I will create an account. ^{— Unsigned, by: 2.217.128.170 / talk / contribs}

I can't speak to the rudeness, as I wasn't involved and I'm not going to attempt to justify the actions of others on the wiki, but I'd like to point out that it's as simple as this to follow your contributions. Also, if you feel someone's being unreasonable, bring it up on the article's talk page (or the user's talk page) and talk it out. RW is not a homogenous hivemind, and there're frequent disagreements.

I have no issue with disagreements, nor am I expecting unanimity. I just think people can be more civil, and shouldn't be insulted for criticising an article.

When referring to following contributions - I know, I'm not new to Wikis. But my IP is dynamically assigned. So it will eventually change.... 2.217.128.170 (talk) 04:48, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
