Hey, thanks for getting that tangent at ANI/Diddy's Diabolical closed up
[edit]That tangent concerning Cat's rollback rights was getting a little out-of-hand. Appreciate your work in putting a cap on it. eighty-million people were talking about a dozen different things, and cordoning that confusion off was the best decision. Thanks again for doing that. Have a good one! –BarntToust(Talk) 16:20, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

User talk
[edit]Please stop aggressively trying to police other users' talk pages. User talk exists primarily for editors to work out issues between each other, without resorting to dramaboards and other process that is consumptive of other editors' time and attention (or unconstructive behavior like sniping at each other in edit summaries, etc.). If one of the two editors involved in that sort of user-talk discussion isn't interested in continuing it, they will say so, and do not need you to interlope as a pretend mindreader who must muzzle everyone. You're especially in no position to repeatedly browbeat another editor at their own talk page that they mustn't continue the discussion. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
PS: You've only been here 18 months and somehow have amassed a grand total of only 292 edits of any kind. You are not in a position to lecture and dictate at long-term editors on how Wikipedia works. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
