Frankly, I can forgive you if you had been an asshole/troll/vandal in the past year but know this, the admins are still watching this page, be nice or your message may be simply removed and you may be blocked without further warning.

What is the Secret?

Secret? What secret?

Someone asked me via email what is the secret that I've gotten so much vandalism plasted on my pages (130 counts!), drive-by harrassments (coined by Bugs!) and impersonators. To which, I can only reply you something two different Admins told me on two different pages/time:-

Then it occured to me, I saw that somewhere on Wikipedia (User:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior#26) that says: "If a vandal insults you, it is a reliable indicator that you are doing something right." And most importantly, I believe in The Secret, doing good will attract more good and as long as I do more good than bad, everything is covered, don't let it bother you too much. Thank you! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 21:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC) (PPS:Okay, I've kept my end of the bargain, the rest is up to you now - annonymous emailer. )[reply]

I haven't seen the film so I don't know how they develop the idea, but it certainly works for the big things -- such as "doing good", "becoming peaceful" and so forth. "Practice loving-kindness and harmlessness as if they were the greatest form of bliss, and they will be." (Tibetan Buddhist saying, I think quoted by Thich Nhat Hanh) Antandrus (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, as well as Desmond Tutu, its as if they all understand it without actually saying it. Great minds do indeed think alike! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 22:16, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a second look...

What do you think of User:Srikarkashyap? My inner duck is quacking this may be another Chanyakasock, but I'm not 100% sure. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reeks of him 100%, the dead giveaway lays in a very specific interest of him (via another sock of his which I cannot recall now... too lazy due to long night at the hangar!) in Hyderabad, India and Johnson Grammar School. By the way, Harpy New Year~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 08:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Harpies? Why not succubi? ;) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surprised that you catch the drift! *lol* --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I looked through all the tagged Chansocks and couldn't find the edits related to those...think you can dig 'em up? I got my knuckles rapped last time at SPI for not providing more specific diffs vs. just "the duck is quacking" so I'd like to have some firepower going in this time.

- The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:41, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My bad~! IIRC, should be one of his throw-away IP sock accounts so there's really little chance to link them together. Hence, I'd strongly suggest that you drop them for the time being, he's bound to slip up somewhere somehow due to his mega-egoistical/nationalistical nature that's bigger than the roman colosseum and worst than a Leo. (PS:Man... I really need to sleep, badly~!) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Carlos Hathcock page

Thanks for doing that, is that an admin tool or can mere mortals like me use it as well?--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 14:58, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kowloon Bay

Hello, Dave1185. You have new messages at Talk:Kowloon Bay.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I also hope to point out that it's unconventional for an editor to make an edit that got reverted, makes the edit again, and expects the other editor to begin a discussion. (see WP:BRD) I hope you'll appreciate my extra courtesy in not reverting your edit a second time as I started the discussion on the article discussion page. --Der yck C. 23:26, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you but no offence as I do think I've made my points within the context of WP guidelines and policies, especially on WP:UNDUE, WP:NOTTRAVEL and lastly... WP:BURDEN for you. Not being harsh but the aforementioned article page isn't the first one where I've removed directory-looking kind of unencyclopedic information(s), though you're free to reinsert them if you think I've made the wrong call. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 13:14, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For intervening! - Ahunt (talk) 11:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trout slap due?

A belated Happy New Year!

Your usual sanity check would be welcome. Wee Curry Monster talk 00:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're alright, just change the trout to a minnow, Chinese New Year over here and we all love minnow for soup. BTW, alls well ends well. Don't sweat it, alright? Eh? Eh? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 08:06, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Annonymous1290

Thanks for warning and reporting this troll Dave. I suspect that he or she is a school-aged troll though, which at least makes a nice change from the many, many adult trolls who are active at the moment ;) Regards, Nick-D (talk) 10:56, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that did crossed my mind but I had to do what I had to do. Call me a dick if you will but at least I'm not an asshole like them trolls/vandals. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 11:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beta C-Mag

An editor there has posted on my unprotected talk page, asking for you. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:59, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and noted, please proceed to ignore, highly suspicious account bordering on trolling there, best to apply WP:DENY. Don't believe? Take a look at his first few edits and see if you can spot something amiss, and it has nothing to do with him claiming being a German user, but yet he conveniently missed out on something so German (his German account reeks of a returned user, spanking newly registered too!) in his first serious contribution with regards to a particular captioning in the image. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 08:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
