I am pinging you to this page,, because you pinged me, and I do not want there to be any additional drama on any high visibility page. I am truly sorry that you had such a terrible day. I am almost 70 years old, but when I was a much younger man, I worked as a janitor (housekeeping aide) at a major hospital in San Francisco for several years. So, I too have had some very bad days at work, back then and in other jobs since then. Your experience today sounds really awful and frustrating, but as you describe things, it seems that you did the very best to deal with it professionally and responsibly, and for that I commend you.

Let's not discuss all the other stuff at this time. Wikipedia editing, after all, is just one aspect of each of our lives. Like you, I have a job, but at this phase of my life, I am running a very small but moderately successful family business that I have spent 28 years building, and that my older son is going to take over in the next year or two. So, I am still working but have complete freedom to work two hours now, edit Wikipedia for an hour or two, work for an hour, take a nap if I want, cook dinner, have a cocktail and edit Wikipedia if I want. Seven days a week, and often many more hours of work.

As an administrator, I am well aware that every other editor is a unique human person deserving of respect, often with a job as you have, and pets as you have (I have owned many cats and a beloved Boston Terrier who died two years ago - picture of him on my user page). I am not going to describe my other thoughts about my work as an administrator at this time because this is not the time for it. The only purpose of this message is to let you know that I am very sorry about your bad day at work, and that I truly hope that days to come will be better for you. Be well.
