June 2015
What are you playing at?[32] WP:POLEMIC is not only not policy (it's a guideline), but, more importantly, it's also not relevant to the text on User:Lucd13. I explained why not in the ANI thread. If you mess with that userpage (or that user) again, you'll be blocked for disruption. Bishonen | talk 23:09, 26 June 2015 (UTC).
- Adding a P.S., since I just noticed this edit summary: you can be blocked for personal attacks too, you know. In fact you're this close right now to a block for combined incivility, edit warring, and disruption. Better pull in your horns. Bishonen | talk 23:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC).
