This is a long-overdue comeuppance for Bellington-upon-Porkshire! I remember his behavior during the First Infobox Crusades, back before Wikipedia's online version. Rather than use the Talk parchment, he stole the infobox letter presses and threw them in the trash! Of course, he claimed that he didn't know that this was prohibited because the carrier pigeon with the contentious topic notification never reached him. When challenged about that, he started an RfC, which of course was held locally in his village where all his friends were, and because of the Plague no one else who tried to travel there to !vote survived. That bastard got away with so much. A huge fan of portals, too. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 14:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

- Being under contentious topics, this should have been resolved through a CT ban decades ago. I'm shocked at how the Arbcom -- which everyone knows very well has existed since the last century, much before Wikipedia came into existence -- agreed to take the case with a 7-2 majority (You know it. it's tough to calculate the percentage majority in such cases; it would have been simpler to have an 8-2 majority and write "with 80% majority"....) Sounds good, right? I can see your heads nodding in agreement... Thank you. I am out of here. Lourdes 04:42, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for this piece of art, it made me smile.—The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 05:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
