A hair to split[edit]

I know you're blocked but please use "alternative spelling" only if it's pronounced the same as the other form. Everything else is an alternative form. (To be honest I haven't looked it up but that's how I imagine it works.)

And be sure to pick a cool username next time around. I always liked the artsy ones, like "Soleil Levant" and "Gente como tú". Ultimateria (talk) 04:26, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One reason everyone decided I was WF back in the day was that I used to tell my drinking exploits at the "Rising Sun" pub on the IRC, and obviously that's what a "Soleil Levant" is. I'm not sure whether he picked that first or afterwards. Equinox 04:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Solstice" would be another good username to mess with you, but it's become less of a challenge to discover him over the years. Ah well. You've got to troll while the trolling is good, and he did. Ultimateria (talk) 04:47, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's been done... I had an IRC bot called "solstice" long ago (early 2000s?) and there are other stories... an ex got upset that I had used that name... let's keep talking on WF's page while he is blocked, so he keeps getting e-mails. haha. Equinox 04:56, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ahem: Rising Sun (talkcontribsglobal account infodeleted contribsnukeabuse filter logpage movesblockblock logactive blocks). Soleil levant (talkcontribsglobal account infodeleted contribsnukeabuse filter logpage movesblockblock logactive blocks) is obviously a reference to that.

He created that in 2008 so it's very possible he based it on hearing me talking about going to the Goth pub. We shall never know. Equinox 05:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WF married an heiress, that's the one consistent lie. It does explain why he can lie around all day writing fucking Galician. What's your excuse, Equinox? Equinox 05:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
