==Hi Alison!==
How are you doing?  Thanks for taking care of all that spam.  It's good to know that you're still stopping in once in a while.  [[User:Auggie|Auggie]] 12:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
* Hi Emperor. Yah, I'm still about, but just nowhere near as active as I was - on ''any'' wiki, really. Life's way too much fun, and way too busy :) Hope all's well with you! - [[User:Alison|<span style="color:#FF823D;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''A<font color="#FF7C0A">l<font color="#FFB550">is</font>o</font>n'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Alison|❤]]</sup> 11:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

=== Wikiversity ===
Just to let you know, I have abandoned Wikiversity.

Upon the strong advice of several experts, I have cut off all connections with Johnny, Darklama, Mike Umbricht, and their associates on Wikiversity.

For reasons that make no sense to me, they have constructed an inappropriately coercive culture (abusive bullying) that, to my mind, is anathema to the concept of collegial and congenial collaborative learning.

The project has frankly become too toxic for my sensibilities.

Or, to put it another way, my Hit Points just went negative, and there aren't any more Clerics left in the game to heal me.

:I'm no expert, but my advice would be not to spend to much time on interpersonal conflicts.  Seems like a waste of life. [[User:Auggie|Auggie]] 13:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

:*The only way to avoid interpersonal conflicts is to avoid other persons.  No matter where I go, some cockamamie antagonist pops up out of nowhere to block my way.  [[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 16:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

::: I know you don't think enough people read this place, but if you check [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/encyc.org+wikipediareview.com+mywikibiz.com/ Compete] you can see we had a pretty decent month.  [[Wikademia]] is also there for all your wiki educational needs.  Emesee is a nice fellow and I can't imagine him trying to stand in your way. [[User:Auggie|Auggie]] 18:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

:::*My educational needs are to find the recipe for a functional collaborative learning community.  [[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 21:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

::::*Maybe you could play some golf and lay off the educational needs, which also removes a lot of conflict with people. People seem to think learning communities are way overrated, and the current structure of online activities are suited to provide maximum fun, dopamine rushes, recreative pursuits, and some easy bucks for the guy who runs the show, rather than typical serious paperwork and research. Without money and dopamine, there's nothing left but idealism, and where does that lead, for a solid creation of a learning community? [[User:123|123]] 15:29, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

After nearly a decade, [[User:JWSchmidt | JWSchmidt]] has crafted yet another bit of literary satire:

A few words from you might be beneficial.  [[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 08:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
*According to my copy of the [[User_talk:Auggie/Archive_1#Moulton|libretto for this vexagonistic tragi-comedy]], you have the next line.  [[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 11:16, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
