| + | Hello VPN user who is sometimes using the IP 141.101.99.242, thank you for reverting both of those. The <sup>[<i><font color="blue">citation needed</font></i>]</sup> one was technically a (in my opinion)harmless piece of vandalism, so it's correct to revert that. Regarding the other one: I hadn't realized that it's been part of someone's signed comment, and have afterwards adjusted what pages I was searching in. I haven't changed any other signed comments or discussion posts, thank you for reverting that one, as that one really was rude. | ||
| + | Since this is hidden from everyone's first glance anyways, I'll just leave it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Me again... Seems like you're on a quest. I'm *not* reverting your non-Talk exits, but still think that some people will find "they" less preferable than the long-form (that also excludes any non-binary, I know), for one reason or another. Mass-changing will just attract such reactionaries. Just sayin'... (ineffectual squiggles here) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some people definitely will, but on most other pages the singular they is used anyways and this was more cleaning up the last few bits than a big long quest. I don't think that anyone else is going to reverse it, thank you for voicing your concern though. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :It's because I knew you were historically a good editor (generally) that I didn't think it was a vandalism, in either case and thought I better check with you after the first two iffy changes. Nice to see that you're responsive in the right way, like I thought. A bit dissappointed the CN-changing wasn't some actual joke that I just hadn't noticed the sense of. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Probably wouldn't have batted an eyelid if you'd jumped straight to unsigned text editing (it happens all the time - and, as you say, has been done intermittently elsewhere without too much objection), it was just that it didn't seem realistic that you were exiting (...n.b., I keep hitting "x" instead of "d" in "edit", stupid fiddly on-screen keyboard with zero haptic feedback!) something you claimed as your own and wanted to tidy up, which raised my concern. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Anyway, here we are. And I'm not really using a VPN, it's just the vaguaries of the Cloudflare gateway I go through (funnels me through a range of IPs, but not at my own behest or under my control), but I agree it makes things confusing sometimes. You know, I particularly remember you popping up onto the scene because I was seriously thinking of a username (at last) and was wondering if I should fake an impossible IP (having seen someone else spoof a practical one) then suddenly you arrived. You rotter! You pinched my joke! ;) And I never did bother to register properly, as you see. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :So, anyway, that's why I feel I know you a little. In a good way. Even if you've not always been so active between then and now. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :The question now might be why am I indenting these paragraphs, when they won't be rendered? Well, really just to make it more obvious for anyone else reading our conversation here. Which I think has now covered everything. Take care, and hello to all the other eavesdroppers out there who are paying attention to this. Didn't want it to go this far, but it did. Whoops! I'd indeed delete it, if I were you, knowing that it's still findable inside the edit-history anyway. | ||
