Y'alright chuck? How's the weather on your side of the Pennines?  Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 16:06, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Trolling comment? Personal attack for merely welcoming someone? Obviously there are two standards people are held to here on RW, since I believe Admin has blocked me and others for doing exactly the same, and several productive members have quit here because of such things. Yet Admin does nothing for attacks on some people, and reacts swiftly and with vigor in other cases..... ^{— Unsigned, by: TK / talk / contribs}

Dear Editor: This Wiki is currently experiencing heightened levels of drama. Your complaint will be attended to when the situation is normalized. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Best regards, 2.325% of Management. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 17:38, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Yes, comments such as mine about being randomly attacked, are met with a contrived humor, meant to denigrate the complaint, and somehow convey it is due to some abnormal situation, when the present state here is as normal as it has ever been, lol. Not totally serious here, but making a valid point, nonetheless. ;-) --TK_/MyTalk^{"Lowly" editor} 17:53, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

I must admit I'm not in the mood for games right now, TK. If you have a complaint, please say exactly what it is you want, instead of raising unspecified complaints against the site as such. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 17:57, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Actually, because I'm trying to stay out of the Main Drama going on right now, I am available to help you right now. Would you explain to me what the situation is? -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:49, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Radioactive, thanks for the offer. I believe I (and others) have been banned/blocked from here for doing the same or less. Whoever this IP user is, identified by user Lily as Chuck, answered my warm welcome with a personal attack. I was merely pointing out your double standards. --TK_/MyTalk^{"Lowly" editor} 18:00, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

I see. On a different note, I have begun to realize that we do have double standards. I believe that's how this whole issue with Marcus Cicero started. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:07, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Mr/Mrs TK, FYI chuck is a term of endearment in the north of England and not meant to be someone's name.  Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 18:09, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Mister, Ms. Lily, and thanks for cluing me in! I chat regularly with a chap and his Mrs. from Northents, and his language frequently confuses me! Sterile, I left you a compliment on the community standards page. You give many of us hope. --TK_/MyTalk^{"Lowly" editor} 18:27, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Do you mean Northants?  Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 19:09, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

Yes, sorry...but in UK English as well as American English, I am a very careless speller. --TK_/MyTalk^{"Lowly" editor} 19:19, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
