Unproductive banter

Neither of these hooks appeared April 1? Who's in charge around here? EEng 23:27, 2 April 2016 (UTC) You are. WP is edited by people like you, not by some mysterious force. LavaBaron (talk) 00:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC) Thanks for cluing me in. EEng 03:58, 15 April 2016 (UTC) I live to serve. LavaBaron (talk) 05:14, 15 April 2016 (UTC) How unsatisfying a life it appears to be, then. EEng 05:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC) That was mean of me, but you really need to quit talking down to people without checking out their experience. you really need to quit talking down to people without checking out their experience - If you don't want to be talked down to, don't present yourself as a target with novice exclamations like "Who's in charge around here?" The onus is not mine to check dick size before responding to nonsense. LavaBaron (talk) 05:37, 15 April 2016 (UTC) Well, it certainly didn't take long for that anxiety to reveal itself. This isn't the only time you've had trouble recently with the distinction between humor and non-humor [1] -- I wonder if even now you understanding that I was complimenting you on the hooks. As I usually say in such situations: please do be my guest and have the last word now. EEng 12:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC) you may want to consider dialing it back to about a 7; thanks LavaBaron (talk) 13:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

• Date, length, and hook check out, but I'd like a citation for that acronym ;) Not to deflate a joke, but for the flood hook to work, there also has to be some indication that this protocol is used for natural disasters as well. Sarcastic banter collapsed. Intelligentsium 00:17, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Intelligentsium thanks, kindly, for the review. I've added a source confirming the veracity of the acronym. LavaBaron (talk) 00:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 Date, hook, and length good to go. This is fine for April Fools' Day, though you might want to have a more serious one unless you want to wait 11 months. Intelligentsium 00:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm okay to wait - thanks again for your review. LavaBaron (talk) 00:47, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
