User talk:Ta bu shi da yu

Faint Hope

Ta bu shi da yu, I hope that you return. Despite the fact that I wanted the GNAA article deleted, your efforts to get it up to FA status were fantastic, and I just want you to know that if you come back, you'll be welcomed, at least by me. Please, don't let some edit-warring scare you off. --Scimitar ^parley 14:43, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh please. Don't bother. Ta bu shi da yu is just a self-important attention addict, don't play into his drama. He'll be back again, unfortuantely. --Gmaxwell 16:37, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell kind of attack was that?! R e dwolf24 (talk) 23:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do what I want, and file your comment under A, for a'sinine assumption. Finally, unlike others, I really don't think it's conducive to the project to drive off first-rate editors. See RickK, or Jtdirl, or maybe Rl. That's off the top of my head. I can name half a dozen more, so, in short, the next time you feel the need to offer your opinion, think it through, and ask yourself: will I come out sounding like a petulant child? If the answer is yes, don't post your undoubtedly insightful commentary.--Scimitar ^parley 17:02, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

People will come and people will go, thats just a fact of life. When I decided to stop spending time on Wikipedia (a decisions the actions of Ta Bu played no small part in), I didn't run around whining about it. Ta Bu has left our dear project never to return again at least a half dozen times so far... Thus my blase attitude about it... Oh well. I find it amusing that you regret the loss of RickK in particular, since he probably drove of more users than all other editors combined. --Gmaxwell 17:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, your reply is the reason I'm leaving all right. - 203.134.166.99 23:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you left the pedia how are you right here? And these attacks you are making on frustrated, yet great, editors is intolerable. R e dwolf24 (talk) 23:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

COUGH* Please read WP:NPA. --Phroziac ^(talk) 23:38, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Well it's not a personal attack if it's true! :) --Gmaxwell 23:46, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Charming. It was a personal comment. And you said it to attack the editor. Therefore, this is a personal attack. HTH. HAND. - 203.134.166.99 03:40, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The prohibition of personal attacks does not extend to criticizing the inapproiate behavior of other Wikipedians. My choice of wording could have been improved somewhat: with greater consideration I wish I'd said "'s behavior with regard to leaving and returning to Wikipedia (intentional or not) is manipulative and is the sort of behavior you'd expect from a self-important attention addict, and not a Wikipedia administrator" and not "is just a self-important attention addict". Otherwise I still stand by that position, and I invite you to discuss it with me on my talk page. --Gmaxwell 04:28, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Gmaxwell's comment is horrifying; I don't even know what to say to that. Ta bu, please come back. Editors like him are in the minority—don't let them drive you off. — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:58, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Tabu left this time because the GNAA FAC wasn't going his way, not because of a conflict with me or anyone else. --Gmaxwell 04:28, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That is wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm leaving over many many personal attacks and failure to recognise that my edits aren't done to disrupt the community or do POV pushing. The GNAA FAC, while unpleasant, was not the reason I'm leaving. I'm logging in to correct this misconception, btw. - Ta bu shi da yu 04:32, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

TBSDY, I'd encourage you to return. You yourself have used Personal Attacks over and over again so leaving because of them seems a bit hypocritical. Wikipedia does suck, but you were part of the Cabal, and have the power to change things, come back and do it right. Agriculture 05:04, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the encouragement, but would like to get a diff where I personally attacked someone. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:13, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't keep exact score, I've seen it quite a lot thought, you get pissed/don't get your way and lash out, a minor example that I did record is here: [1] just a minor one, but an example none the less. Agriculture 06:25, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Back so soon? 81.131.216.221 06:29, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
