Courtesy backup copy
I've made you a courtesy backup copy of User:Gsaup/Dark side of planning. It looks like you've received some rough treatment by our administrative corps. Unfortunately, the process Wikipedia uses to determine who holds these positions tends to favor those who lack social skills and who lack the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Please accept my apologies in advance and feel free to contact me for any help in the future. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 02:05, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, you may be interested in reviewing the discussion over at Talk:Planetary boundaries, where Arthur made the same claims he is making about the dark side of planning. Why he is repeatedly making false arguments about concepts he personally disagrees with is a serious question that needs to be asked. Viriditas (talk) 08:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Many thanks, I really appreciate your kind comment and help, and I'm surprised by the tone of the critique. Gsaup
