[edit] Your Userpage

No problem. I'd just tagged an unsigned comment to Talk:Main Page by the same anon, and noticed the edit to your page in the addy's contributions list, so I took a look. -- Vary | Talk 00:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smug?

Why? I don't quite get it. Todor→Bozhinov 11:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks

With regard to your comments on Talk:Main_Page#Battle.3F.3F.21.21.3F ("but it's quite clear that you are not a native speaker...That means extra, if you didn't know...I think your supercilious attitude is a disgraceful advertisement for the Wikipedia project)") Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Tourskin 02:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't get me started. You are just as guilty of personal attacks as I am.

As you can see, the Personal attacks in this discussion were mutual of nature - thats often the case. Can you not see the personal attack of the user who didn't login? He said "Kudos". I don't know what that means for sure other than perhaps a sign of approval, but then again as you pointed out in your own act of "personal attack" I am a non-Native English speaker. Calling someone a non-Native English speaker is not a very nice thing, especially if you have been raised in the UK like I have for fourteen years were every football hooligan hates your foreign guts.

I am willing to put this bad discussion, which is going no where aside. Tourskin 02:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
