The Original Barnstar
Thank you so much for your neutral stance in many inter-ethnic disputes. I think that you're right in your decision to go. Some of these admins are real xxx sometimes - I feel that some of them really enjoy abusing "the bad dudes" Wikimachine03:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Your departure
Latest comment: 17 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion
Dear Mumun, please reconsider your decision to depart. I too had a contretemps with a certain officious know-it-all bully some weeks back, as you may recall. I notice that our old friends Fries, Reginaguy and KMSiever have also entirely withdrawn, which is a great pity. Waiting them out for a bit always seems to work. Do think again and return to editing on Wikipedia: it needs people like you! Masalai20:02, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hellow Muman! If you have not retired I wanted to warn you that there is a user who has threatened to make edits to the Sungkyunkwan university page. He has been misquoting me and I do not want to deal with him anymore. Since you contributed to the page I hope you will consider adding input and watching out for vandalism. Thanks!
