 * Why not add some of these to the article then? Especially as none of them appear to be online and you seem to be the person with access to them... GDallimore (Talk) 12:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You didn't use the magic word. If you need a more accessible account, try the entertaining version of Richard Bartle. Warden (talk) 15:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Linking to an article on manners after your original comment is just the worst form of hypocrisy. Go look at yourself in the mirror then go do something useful. GDallimore (Talk) 17:24, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Original comment? I do not understand what you mean.  I tend to be brusque and so try to mind my Ps and Qs.  My nom-de-plume was first used by Churchill who famously said, "...it costs nothing to be polite." Warden (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
