Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:33, 5 July 2014 (UTC) Thank you very much for the welcome especially given my less than graceful return to Wikipedia. I only just noticed this on my page. And was unsure how to respond. I am assuming just editing here is right? Again let me reiterate that I welcome your input and encourage you to highlight anything silly or inappropriate that I do.

Please refrain from personal attacks

I know you are new but Personal attacks include accusing other editors of an agenda and of hacking edits. I think perhaps you are here solely for the Francis Brabrazon article which you want changed and hence you attacked me. I base this on the phrase 'hacked' which appeared on Face Book in relation to dissatisfaction with the content of this article. Refer here please. [[1]]. This is a first warning. Thank you.

I can assure you that I know nothing of a Facebook page or somebody else using the word 'hacked' with regards to this page. It was obviously an unwise and certainly unfortunate word selection from me. Again I apologise. To be completely honest I try to stay out of the political aspects of the Australian Baba community. Everybody who knows me well knows I am not interested and leave it at that. As I am sure you are aware there is much animosity which I believe fundamentally is very destructive. My interest is in Baba. Digitalabode (talk) 07:01, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again. I had been using wiki IRC help channel for assitance but I will check this out too. Hopefully my self imposed Baptism of Fire is reaching an end. Hopefully the stench will pass in time. :) Digitalabode (talk) 04:39, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
