Hey there, Spell4yr. I see you made a comment referencing John Kerry in the recent changes menu. I'm not sure how to put this, so I'll be direct: although there's no rule against bringing politics into the HRWiki(?), and your intention probably wasn't mean-spirited, I'm going to suggest you leave political references by the wayside in the future. I come to the HRWiki to enjoy the world of Homestar Runner, not to re-visit tired mudslinging from American politics. Thanks. &mdash; {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 10:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Stephen. What does Spell4yr mean?

[edit] STUFF stuff

Don't be hard on yourself; I've done similar things twice today! Your revert is identical to the page before your first edit--but that edit was your vote; might want to reinstate that! --notstrongorbad 03:30, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I don't think I voted after the revert, but I'll have to re-look into that. I think the saga of my edits was just trying to add the some kinda robot thing, and nothing else. Thanks for the message, though. :-) Spell4yr

Your hunch is right.... That could probably be deleted outright. How long has it been on the page? — It's dot com 08:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead and started it. It won't last long, though.It's dot com 08:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh. Never mind then. If someone else wants it bad enough, they can STUFF it themselves. I'll delete the page I just created. Sorry for the mix-up. — It's dot com 08:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
And now I'm really laughing. Ha ha. Okay, let's get on the same page. Delete it outright. :) — It's dot com
I'm laughing too; I hope I don't wake my roommate. I'm lying on my bed typing so that's why I'm so much behind the times; I finally read this after commenting on the STUFFage. I think I'm about four minutes behind in another time zone right now. Spell4yr 08:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flip-flopping

Hey there, Spell4yr. I see you made a comment referencing John Kerry in the recent changes menu. I'm not sure how to put this, so I'll be direct: although there's no rule against bringing politics into the HRWiki(?), and your intention probably wasn't mean-spirited, I'm going to suggest you leave political references by the wayside in the future. I come to the HRWiki to enjoy the world of Homestar Runner, not to re-visit tired mudslinging from American politics. Thanks. — THE SMOKING MONKEY 10:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • I'm more of a Democrat than a Republican, so the intention wasn't mean-spirited. I just found it notable that I had switched twice, which was the stereotype that he had in the election.
