TRM ArbCom case
Hello Floquenbeam - just letting you know your recent post at the ArbCom case re. The Rambling Man needs a little bit of copy editing. If you're busy, I don't mind doing so for you. Please don't take this the wrong way - just a friendly notice. Zerotalk 14:48, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, I have just seen your edit summary. I do not doubt for a second what your native language is. Zerotalk 17:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't have minded help with copyediting, and I don't take it the wrong way, thanks for the offer. But I don't need it, I've fixed it now. Fat thumbs, tiny screen. About halfway through I realized it made me look incompetent, but by then I'd invested too much time to hit "cancel". I know, I should have considered it a sunk cost. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:12, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Sorry for being hostile
I apologize for giving in a classic example of hostility and vitriol as I had on my talk page. I also apologize to @SchroCat: for assuming that the editor assumed that I had been purposely edit-warring and to @TJRC: for calling that editor "ignorant", for which that is the first time that I have ever wanted to be blocked. I usually keep my tone restrained from being insane, but I became fed up this time, and there is no way that I could possibly, possibly become one among administrators because that is my typical personality. I would also like to tell you that I have read your thoughts on my talk page so many times that I have lost count, and I was not even counting. Lastly, the only thing that I am worried about is the fact that I may repeat my hostile behavior (and have somewhat more confidence to do so) now that I have finally done it.

- Sorry, for some reason your pings on your talk page didn't reach me. I'll take a look tonight or tomorrow. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
Science ref desk
The drive-by busybody who reverted that one section is most likely a banned user. That's why I reverted it. Your own deletion is fine. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- I know you've had to deal with a couple of people like that for a long while, so I'll take your word on it, even if I'm not sure I'm convinced this is one of them, or that undoing that particular revert was useful. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:14, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Bruges
Getting excited about going to Bruges, tomorrow! (more on top of my talk) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- I hope you enjoy it as much as we did, Gerda. Break a leg (do you say that for singing?) --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- The composer wanted a smashing effect, - breaking a leg might help ;) - We say "Hals- und Beinbruch". Looking forward to meeting people with whom we have worked from 2001, but not for last few years. The Bruges image was taken when most of the cathedral was closed for restoration, so we sang at the end of the transept. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- We visited that cathedral. Good acoustics, you could hear a pin drop in there. Enjoy! --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sure I will! - DYK that the piece graces the German Main page today? ... that I suggested to stop saying infobox haters and infobox warriors ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Good rehearsal and nightly stroll of the town, - any recommendations for Der 100. Psalm? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for closing that AN/I thread. Good grief. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC) |
Yeah, that discussion jumped the shark a while ago. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:48, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Jumped? The discussion did a Tony Hawk style 720 over the shark. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- I KNEW that the account seemed familiar. Thanks for catching the block evasion. RickinBaltimore (talk) 22:05, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, it was OrangeMike (see bottom of Iridescent's talk page). But glad to help anyway. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
