BN Hi Ligulem We don t know each other but I just read the WP BN thread I have Christmas guests so I can t do this justice but I tried to read the thread through your eyes or at least my eyes in a similar situation I have been part of a community which I left for years and then returned The return is with trepidation who will be here obviously a lot of new people but will the veterans remember me how will they greet me Will it be like the return of a veteran to a small town with a ticker tape parade or maybe a little more subdued with a lot of great to see you again and hey there s still a lot to do let s get to work Yet it wasn t like that at all it was the third degree Why do you want the tools Why are you qualified Perhaps forgetting that a message was sent to you stating that you could simply ask for the bit back and it would be granted Your response was remarkably measure given that the reception can t possibly have matched what you expected I understand your final comment and I don t even urge you to reconsider and ask again immediately but I do hope you return pick up editing read some of the policies and determine for yourself if you feel comfortable asking for the bit back As was hinted there was a bad incident relatively recently which is prompting some of the questions I m sorry you got caught in the cross fire
