“ | Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier. --THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK | ” |
Take a break
I know what I'm about to say might sound cliche to you but here goes... RELAX~! Go take a short break to de-stress yourself, okay? Please don't take it to heart and there's no need to pull out your hair over something so trivial, right? Regards. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 04:19, 10 February 2010 (UTC) (PS: Those who play with fire will get burn by it eventually, but I'm sure you knew it already.)
- There's a saying: "Winners don’t quit, and quitters don’t win…" And I'm not gonna rouse you with big statements here but if you run away from this, chances are you're gonna be running away from things for the rest of your life. Still, I would wish you well and best regards to you. Lastly, I'm gonna end this with two quotes; one from W. Clement Stone: "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."; and the other one's from T. Harv Eker: "How you do anything is how you do everything." Adieu~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 17:20, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- Mmm, you're probably right in that. Justin talk 13:44, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- Welcome back! And you might also want to read up on this → WP:OWB ←, it's a serious essay but it pretty much sums up things around here, with a bit of laugh added (of course! v^.^v). --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 13:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Please stay
Dear Justin, I wish you would reconsider. Your participation is very, very important in guaranteeing balance and objectivity here, especially in Falklands, South Georgia and Gibraltar related articles. I know what the situation was before you joined (not much different from the present one in Spanish Wiki), and most probably that would prevail once again if you were to withdraw. That would be а most unfortunate development indeed. Apcbg (talk) 06:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks but this is goodbye
Thanks for those messages, I used to enjoy wikipedia and it was interesting working with the like of Darius and even Jor70 when we'd worked through our differences. But it hasn't been fun for a long while, I've tried to get admin support to respect policies of WP:NPOV and others. One determined editor can single mindedly work the system, if you can work the system then the admins will back them over writing quality articles. Whats going on with Gibraltar right now is really shameful and I can't work with a project that would back that anymore.
Darius and Jor70 I take away a lot of respect for you guys who can put aside national pride for one second to try and find the middle ground that respects both sides. Guys I really do admire you for that, even putting up with my cranky temper sometimes. Narson, I admire your patience and the maturity on those young shoulders and for telling me to wind my neck in some times. User:Pfainuk, why you never bothered to put yourself forward for adminship I'll never know, because I can't think of a better candidate. However, I do have an inkling why. User talk:Ryan4314 keep up the good work, I wish I could have spent more time on article writing but if you need anything Falklands related you have my email.
Anyway adieu.
Justin talk 14:57, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry to see you go Justin, I always felt you were a rather reasonable and fair person who edited in a very charged environment, not an easy thing to do. I hope you come back someday. -- Atama頭 16:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
I can imagine how you feel mate, but if you do decide to comeback, you won't of lost any respect in my eyes. You're a huge wealth of knowledge on the Falklands and our patriarch too lol ;). Ryan4314 (talk) 20:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
I can understand why you feel like this. If you decide you want to come back, though, of course you're always welcome - you'll be missed on Falklands articles in particular. Pfainuk talk 18:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey
Hi Justin,
We probably don't see eye to eye on the Gibnews business, but I still think you are a valued editor here. Would you reconsider leaving? This seems like a pretty stressful time for you, so have you considered making it a wikibreak?
Even if you do decide that you want to retire, I just want you to know that there is nothing stopping you from coming out of retirement. Heck, I did and they gave me my admin bits back without too much concern.
Anyway, if you do decide to have left completely, I wish you the best for the future :-) But always feel free to come back, because retirement banners don't necessarily mean that you can't return.

Welcome back!
Dear Justin, your return is most welcome indeed! Best, Apcbg (talk) 14:22, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'll second that! The Gibraltar article has been chipped away piece by piece by editor(s) who have had almost a month of free reign! Willdow (Talk) 14:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Sleep
Go get some, eh? In the morning the debate will still be there and Hugo Chavez will still be spouting bollocks. You are going to burn yourself out if you stay up late to argue the toss with hardliners. --Narson ~ Talk • 00:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ovid: "Take a rest. A field that has rested yields a beautiful crop." My sentiments too, toodles~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 03:40, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Gibnews
Hi Justin, it's not the person you suggest. I don't know whether the VOGG has had several spokepersons (I don't care, really). Here the case is rather simple: a person, called him X, is or has been the spokeperson of the VOGG, is the local representative of the Conservative Party, the owner of gibnews.com, gibnews.net ant maryceleste.net. Is it a COI? Yes, it is. Should it be declared? Yes. Has it been declared? No. Hope it explains it better. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 13:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for assuming a sincere concern, as I have it :-) Don't worry, I don't wish any outing. The "evidences" are solid and I simply wish to comply with wikipedia policies. That's all. Thank you for your confidence. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 13:23, 2 March 2010 (UTC) PS: BTW, Tunbridge resigned in 2006
Yes, you were right. He is not the local representative of the Conservative Party. I was talking off the top of my head. But I've double-checked it. Thank you --Ecemaml (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'd add this to the ANI thing about gibraltar if I were you. WIth difs. It is troubling and if I had the diffs, I'd be reporting it, because that shit isn't on. I really am not a fan of Gibnews, but even he deserves his privacy. --Narson ~ Talk • 15:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Justin, thank you for posting your concerns in my talk page before the block was lifted. As I've told you many times, I'm not interested at all in the identity of Gibnews (in the same way as I'm not interested in knowing your identity). As told to EyeSerene, I've fully acknowledged that even if the COI is damaging for the project it cannot override the privacy guarantees that protects to all of us. And I've committed not to cross such a line (an obvious thing, as I'm fully committed to the project). So you can relax as no further "outing" will take place (even if it was triggered by your endless questions) Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 12:26, 5 March 2010 (UTC) PS: as told you, all the information I have has been voluntarily posted by Gibnews, but again, this issue is over for me.
DGAF
Justin, per WP:DGAF... please learn to disengage (mentioned in WP:OWB, point #60). No point fighting and getting frustrated, as it will only attract more negative, angry people/comment. You are better than them, just take it easy... yeah? --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 06:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Got trout?
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
As requested, a trout for you... Cheers~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 09:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

The unanimous view across several noticeboards is that this is not a RS. If you persist in readding it, I will post at WP:ANI. I am yet to find something on gibnet.com that cannot be found elsewhere in an actual RS. So please, help wih that rather than readd it. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 13:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
