Hear, hear. You say in the comment "I would request you leave this response on your page for the enjoyment of others"; I hope he leaves it too, as it does make one of the people involved in the exchange look rather foolish, and it's not Viewfinder. — ras52 (talk) 23:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Good lord ...

Please see WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. Thanks! Gscshoyru (talk) 23:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC) (It would seem I've been "cautioned" by the WikiCops for the comment I left to an editor regarding removal of a small contribution I made to the article on (good lord ... of all things ... the Matterhorn)).

I quote you ras52, regarding the above notice left on MY talk page, and directed at ME:

"Hear, hear. You say in the comment "I would request you leave this response on your page for the enjoyment of others"; I hope he leaves it too, as it does make one of the people involved in the exchange look rather foolish, and it's not .... — ras52 (talk) 23:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC).

First ... I'll leave out the original editor's identity as I wish to focus on the subject at hand, your comment. Second ... who asked for your opinion on my character ... foolish or otherwise? A strange paradox applauding the critique of the self-same activity the sly comment you left for me engages in with respect to me. I believe its called ... well I'm sure you know what it's called.

I hope you do not think it is "foolish" to support copyright and the rights to intellectual property (I'm fond of these ideas, while others might not be to their own detriment), as I also mentioned these issues in my "talk", along with my satirical critique of why one particular humorous reference to mountaineering (inspired I'm sure by the two men with the same name being among the first to scale the Matterhorn) was arbitrarily removed by an editor who would seem perhaps a bit too close to the subject matter (and I note a few others have questioned his/her removal of their contibutions ... I am not the first. But I digress). I came to the article neither to dispute facts nor flaunt knowledge, but only to add some humour to the subject. I had no idea it was so serious; that Bugs Bunny is in the canon of humourous mountaineering references, but Monty Python is not. Perhaps I offended someone here by mentioning Monty Python in the same breath as the Matterhorn.

I note you share many common interests with the previous editor (who, again, I will no longer involve by handle in this discussion). In your Editor User page you say that, "I'm sure that most editors have particular issues to which they are strongly emotionally attached — I know I do — however, most editors are capable of recognising this and refrain from editing in that area." Sage advice indeed.

Now then ... enough ...
