`  ==Disgusted== No word can better describe how I feel about Wikipedia right now than ``disgusted``.  I have deactivated all of my tools and bot tasks indefinitely, until such time that I decide how I'd like to proceed.    :Scotty, you are a great asset to wikipedia, and it would be a very large negative if you left,    ::I agree fully!    :::Concur.    *As do I. I appreciate that we haven't always got on, mostly in  rather than unofficial capacity, but as my comment on Drmies talkpage makes clear, I consider you one hell of an editor. I don't want to see you mocked or belittled for the sterling work you do, and I certainly don't want to see you leave.    *Scotty, I don't want to see you leave either, but what you said (about ``my entire existence``) belittles my contributions in an unacceptable manner. I got fucking blocked for responding to your sneer, so eating some crow on your part is no more than fair, it seems to me.    :*Drmies, come on. You guys just got blocked (and unblocked) for going at each other. Is it really necessary to keep poking? You both think you were justified, you both think the other wasn't, lets just let this die before it flares up again for round two.    ::*Fluffernutter, I don't think this needs mediation, thanks. Scotty is a big boy and so am I. We disagree over something, and we could have handled that very well, I suppose, until someone came in between and started throwing blocks about. Scotty, I'm sorry for what I said: you hurt my feelings and I let it be known. I'm not going to come back here since I don't want to bother you; you can always drop me a line on my talk page and you're welcome to leave a TB template as well, pace DNTR. Take it easy,     Taking occasional breaks is healthy and encouraged. Just don't be a fucking diva about it, please. Editors have placed trust in you to be a reliable bot operator and tool maker.    : Suggestion: replace that second sentence with ``But remember, `` for intended effect and best results.    Believe me Scotty I know how you feel. I fell into the same trap this time last year for a much less and never recovered and I know you are familiar with that whole kerfuffle. I have gotten to the point now where I rarely edit article here anymore. The only difference is that I wasn't an admin. I hope you don't completely give up on this place like I did! I'm also glad someone had the good sense to undo the block.     == Some stroopwafels for you! ==  {| style=``background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;`` |style=``vertical-align: middle; padding: 5px;`` |  |style=``vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;`` | I guess you need them. All this drama makes more harm than good. —   |} :I just wanted to add something... Don't leave us! ( —    == Your tools ==  I don't know what's going on here or who is right or wrong, but deactivating your tools? Is that really necessary? Do you really hate us that much? I find the editor interaction analyser a vital tool for checking for socks, for instance. I hope you will consider either reactivating at least some of these or a way to pass them over to someone else.    : I kinda have to agree.  Yeah, you're pissed ... but ``I'm taking my ball and going home`` doesn't resolve it.  I personally feel you're a human who is above the WP:DIVA route.  What's wrong with continuing to have your fantastically-developed tools continue to build the project, even if you're personally not clicking the ``Save`` button every now and again? '''  :: I also don't know what's going on here, but if you're just not willing to maintain the tools anymore, I can put them on my Toolserver account and maintain them.  It's no problem for me, just let me know. ~     *It wasn't my intention to elicit the above pleas for me to stick around, a la Malleus, nor was it my intention to be a diva or to ``take my ball and go home``.  It was more of a protest against unequal treatment, and an overly emotional one at that.  I've restored the tools and bot tasks, after realizing the collateral damage that was done by deactivating them, and deciding that it's not right to punish uninvolved users who have nothing to do with the situation.  I'll likely be back in the new year.  Have a safe one.    *: Thanks Scottywong.  I just posted this Drmies's talk page.  I think I might say the same to you.  You are no doubt an asset to Wikipedia.  And though, there is all this drama going on right now, I don't think it's worth leaving over.  I think what you need is a good WikiBreak.  Enjoy the New Year with your loved ones, shoot off some fireworks, get drunk, and have fun and forget about Wikipedia for a bit.  Though, if you do decide to leave, there is the inevitable future of your bots and tools dying with in 6 months from now.  It would be helpful to know what you intend to do on Wikipedia.  Take care Scottywong and I believe there is an email for you from me that I sent earlier.— Offline   Thank you for restoring your bots and tools. I understand probably better than anyone the burden of being responsible for maintaining such services for wiki users. If you ever want to discontinue maintenance/support of certain bots or tools, that's perfectly fine, just try to give others forewarning if possible. There are always other people willing to pick up needed tasks (at WP:BOTREQ, etc.). I hope you have a wonderful break and return well rested. -)      == User:Snotbot/Current AfD's ==  Hi Scottywong.
