Thank you!
Hello Max. Thank you for being a great Wikipedia editor and staff member of the Foundation. Awhile back, I got blocked after I got tired of dishonest editing and admitting block evasion for a length of 4 years. On my old account, Pixiemasters (now renamed to obscurity here {1} ), I had talk access restored and made my appeal. I got almost unanimous support for an unblock and was able to continue editing on this account. However, you were the only one who downright opposed an unblock:

"Oppose unblock. You can't possibly claim you respect our rules if you've been continuously breaking them for the past 4 years. User:DrewieStewie is evidence not of a triumph of rehabilitation, but of disregard for our community and its norms.

I refuted this with: "I do respect the rules. I’ve only broken that rule, not any others. All other signs point to me being a constructive, well intending, productive editor. And just because I broke it doesn’t mean I don’t regret or remorse breaking it and don’t respect it. Myself, along with at least one other, believe that granting an unblock would do more benefit than harm to the community. Thank you for your input though. :) Drewiestewie (talk) 10:24 pm, 19 August 2018, Sunday (7 months, 29 days ago) (UTC−7)"

Seems that "at least one other" turned to "near-unanimous". However, I just wanted to tell you that I have no hard feelings for your opinion or words then, and that you do amazing for this encyclopedia. Thanks for respecting my Wikipedia journey and others opinion. I hope we cross paths in the future and make this encyclopedia better. :) DrewieStewie (talk) 19:03, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
