I've read through all the edits so far, and I have no quibbles with any of them, save for one -- the second point under [["Stop Having Fun" Guys]] regarding the tropers patrolling Made of Win for things to delete. I would like to see that retained. I also wanted to inquire about Umbire's edit of 11:35 this date -- the edit reason mentions moving entries to Trivia, but I see no such move. Was that a note about something you changed your mind on? Or is the new page simply still awaiting creation?

Now that that's done, I will admit here as I have elsewhere that I am responsible, at least in part, for any venom in this and any other articles referencing TVT. As I've told the other mods in our off-wiki discussion area, I hold grudges -- more than that, I treasure them, and clasp them tightly to my breast and nurture them for years, sometimes ''decades''. That said, I was at the time of the 2GI the oldest continuous user of the site (and an ex-staff member); the claim was made around that time that I was the closest thing TVT had to an elder statesman. However by that point, Fighteer had already told me I was a "troublemaker" just because I objected to a change in ... something, I can't remember what at this late date, only that it was in my opinion a troubling departure from TVT's earlier values. For my part, I made it clear at the same time I viewed him as a jumped-up Johnny-come-lately. <grin> (And may I note that I remain amazed that he was never kicked from the wiki by the new owners for the legal hole he put it in with his ignorance of copyright law? In the nearly forty years I've been employed, a mistake like that would have gotten anyone fired with prejudice by any of my employers.)
