Yes, I came back to vote in the ArbCom elections. It's the only reason I didn't make this account inaccessable.
No, I have no intentions to come back to edit. Not at this name, and probably not at any other, either.
If you're looking for me, you know where to find me.
I left when the Brandt article got deleted (thus the statement above), as it was one of my shortlist issues for giving up on the project. Many more have come to pass since the Brandt article deleted, so I wouldn't have lasted this long anyway.
If you tripped up on this, most of what's been said about me isn't true. As there's no reasonable appeals process, I'm forced to see my name slung through the mud for it. Such is Wiki-life. If I could turn back the clock, I'd change nothing except my original name.
Best of luck to the more reasonable of you in the future. --bdj

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.-- MONGO 04:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I came back to see you are no longer here. I'm going to have to say that I wish you hadn't left, as you were a major contributor to wikipedia. I enjoyed our conversations, even if it was more like a debate half the time. I hope in the future you can return and we can edit together again, working to improve wikipedia. The day you left, wikipedia lost a valuable editor. Again, I hope you can return with a fresh outlook and not let things like wiki-politics get you down. Kudos and Best Regards on all your endeavours. SynergeticMaggot ( talk) 05:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
reference 19 is Standage, 24–17. and reference 44 is Levitt, 42–23. Did you mean 24-27 and 42-43, I just want to be sure. Lab-oratory ( talk) 16:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! You have been awarded the Four Award for your work all through on She Shoulda Said No!. |

History shows that the period of your dispute marked the end of the growth of Wikipedia, and the beginning of its decline. I am still uncertain of exactly how the damage occurred, but I suspect that if inclusionists had prevailed there, things might have gone differently.
In ongoing discussions, I'm told that WP:BLPBAN/ WP:BLPLOG/ WP:BLPSE were a "mistake" in imposing policy by fiat that the community resisted. [1] That doesn't mean that any indication exists on those pages of a retreat, nor does the page I discussed it in, a proposed policy revision giving far more power to ArbCom, suggest any move in the opposite direction. That looks like a discussion where your contributions will be missed. Wnt ( talk) 19:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

"I'd change nothing"
Thank you for quality articles on "classic exploitation films" such as She Shoulda Said No! and Mom and Dad, for a wealth of stubs, for Prince of Peace, for "If I could turn back the clock, I'd change nothing except my original name.", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
