• I have removed Hafspajen's striking of their vote and instead scored through the other small comment. Let's give Hafs time to cool down and think about things ... SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:19, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

• Support - Can't find anything bad here. But looks like it is threatening someone, not as threatened...--The Herald : here I am 08:54, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

• That's kinda what happens when they feel threatened (other examples here)... geese are bad for that too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:33, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
