talk page i don't blank my talk page i remove extraneous comments that either don't merit discussion or are duplications of other discussions sometimes i remove discussion that is pointless and does not further any discernable positive end such as an argument an individual was trying to bait me into any legitimate comments that have a proper purpose a constructive purpose are left however the idea that i shouldn't remove time wasting pointlessness because it might appear that i'm a troll isn't something i agree with now if i were completely blanking the page and not dealing with legitimate wikipedians with topics yeah i could see your point then thanks
