 == Hey == 
 Anthony, this is a continuation of your archived thread with SlimVirgin. You are an editor who just seems to have a naturally good heart and your presence here is something of a delight. I suppose you can stay here and celebrate our particular style of stupidity, or go somewhere else and land into some other nonsense. Our predicament is inherently mad, and people are fundamentally a mess everywhere. The lights here are dim enough without you pulling out (or SlimVirgin for that matter). I hope you stay. Regards    
 :Just having a break, Epi.    

 == A quiet word == 

 It'd be a real shame to earn yourself a block. Please calm down. Reverting yourself would make you look good.    
 :I'll wear the block. Whatever the community thinks is appropriate. It's bed time here.    

 ==  == 

 Anthony, it is absolutely indisputable that after this week, you know better than to write things like this on the talk page of someone with whom you're in a heated dispute. As you well know, commenting on someone's edits is one thing. Commenting that a person ""makes you sick"" or spewing ""fuck you""s at them is unacceptable. Please edit your comment to remove the personal attacks; no matter who you're arguing against or what their history, the things you've said aren't acceptable in a collegial environment.    

 :If you don't get 72 hours straight away it will be a disgrace. I have watched you edits over there this afternoon and knew this was coming. Anything to do with this ?   

 ::See section above. If Anthony's gone to bed now, I personally don't see the need for a block, unless it's punitive. If he resumes in the same vein tomorrow, I'll happily block him. Other admins may disagree. But I'm knocking off, too.    

 :::He's been asked to remove it. He's refused. Apart from being in User talk it is very little different to the incident the other day. For the sake of consistency and in view of clear defiance a block is appropriate. He can appeal - when he wakes up.   

 :::: I was leaning toward a block, myself, since he refused Dweller's suggestion that he redact the incivility; however, this is an edge case, since he's now offline and can't respond either way, and it appears that someone else has removed the personal attacks on Malleus's talk. Anthony, you're on the very last frayed edge here; when you wake up in the morning I suggest you put your mind to engaging with a renewed burst of constructiveness, because further incivility will not be tolerated.   

 I've removed it.  Anthony is welcome to take the matter up with me and is welcome on my talk page.  While I typically don't approve of editing another person's comments, even when robust, I found this to be beyond acceptable. —     

 == ANI == 

 A thread regarding your recent post to Malleus' talk page has been started here.  I'll also state that I would greatly appreciate your not editing anything for 28 hours from the timestamp of your post to Malleus' page other than to respond to the issue at hand.  You can respond here, at the ANI thread, on my talk page, and I'd imagine at Fluffernutter's talk.  I have not enacted the ""technical"" part of ""blocking"", so I request this as
