I am very sorry 168...Very sorry :-( User:Anthere
I hope you don't let this stop you editing here. Whilst I disagree with your protection of pages you were involved in, I do understand the point you were trying to make. I disagree only with your methods, not your intentions and I hope you'll be back. Angela. 17:00, Mar 8, 2004 (UTC)
I'm sorry that this has happened and I also hope that you will be back. BCorr € Брайен 17:07, Mar 8, 2004 (UTC)
Likewise, me. --Lexor|Talk 17:08, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I agree with the above sentiments. Your contributions here are very valuable. →Raul654 17:17, Mar 8, 2004 (UTC)
[Peak to 168...:] It just occurred to me that your "civil disobedience" campaign to have a certain user "banned" may have been based on some flawed assumptions about certain technicial aspects of a "ban". (In essence, it's not possible to ban a person.) Perhaps if you had understood these limitations, you would have seen the wisdom of the approach that I had argued for and which Anthere has now implemented (community action with sysop support). I am not writing to say "I told you so" but in the hope that you will see that some of your actions were, at least to some extent, based on some flawed assumptions, and that as a result you will cheerfully rejoin the fray.Peak 17:31, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Don't let all this nonsense drive you away. Your contributions to articles are both valued and worthwhile. Allow someone else to fight the idiots, and concentrate on the quality edits that we remember of you. Stewart Adcock 18:26, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I could not agree more with Stewart Adcock's statement. -- Cyan 19:39, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
168, I only recently began following disputes on the DNA page, and was just informed that you are leaving Wikipidia. I hope you will reconsider. You and I have had edit conflicts in the past; this is not the time to rehash old feelings but I want to make clear, as I hope it was clear in the past, that I respect your knowledge and have valued your contributions to Wikipedia. I believe very strongly in the importance of a community of Wikipedians; that requires a good deal of compromise and patience on the part of contributors. This is not easy; I think most people -- certainly I -- sometimes fall short. That is why I have strived both to forgive others, and to ask others to forgive me. Sometimes I do not have the energy for this and have simply had to take a break from Wikipedia. I sincerly hope that this is what you are doing, and I hope you will come back to work with us.
