Thank you
I am ashamed to say that I only just noticed your departure. Thank you for the numerous improvements you have made to Wikipedia over the years. We've worked together infrequently but productively, to the extent that I was once accused of being your sock puppet. We will especially miss your willingness to point out deficiencies in the WMF whilst others meekly admire the emperor's new clothes.
I remain unblocked merely because I have been more cowardly than you in submitting to Wikipedia's obsession with political correctness. I would certainly never dare to suggest that neuroscience of sex differences actually exists. I have learnt from the punishment administered to you, and will maintain my silence.
I will understand if you never wish to see another Wikipedian again, but I sincerely hope that you are able to return when the time is right. Thank you once more, and I wish you all the best with whatever fills your newfound free time. Certes (talk) 13:05, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- For future reference I feel it’s important to mention this section was heavily refactored in this edit. Also: Chris Troutman is not blocked from his talk page; he simply doesn’t seem to care. We shouldn’t censor non-troll edits from people’s talk pages because we think they might be offended by them. Dronebogus (talk) 12:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Just Now Realizing You're Gone
Can't believe you've been blocked since late April. I have barely been on. I am going to miss your kind Christmas letters & talk page posts, and friendly discussions overall. Your departure is a huge loss for the project. I wish you well with whatever you decide to do next and hope you can come back in some form soon. I usually try not to engage in those types of discussions (@Certes- I, too, am cowardly) and this type of bias has blossomed on WP in recent years. We are losing valuable editors over nothing. Certes said it best.
Thank you, Chris, and wishing you the best once more. — That Coptic Guy (talk) (contribs) 02:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for sticking by me.
Hey Chris it’s ARMcgrath. Sorry that political differences caused your blocking, but I wanna say from the bottom of my heart thank you for defending me and helping me out in September of 2023 when I was legally threatened. I know conflict of interests on articles are a pain in the ass and I appreciate that you stood up and helped me deal with this. Thank you for helping me stay on here because, when it happened I almost entirely left, I haven’t retired entirely as I feel like currently there’s a lot going on in the world. I wish you nothing but all the best in what you do outside of Wikipedia.
It hasn’t been hard to stay here since we went our ways. I hope you still have the private message I sent after the fact. I have gotten over the incident and I feel comfortable editing on here again but I feel that this place is also too toxic sometimes as some edit wars are always one sided on one end and I try to avoid edit wars nowadays. Anyways sorry this all went down and I wish you were still getting rid of unnecessary content and drama like vandalism. Anyways I hope you enjoy your life outside Wikipedia.

Block reason
@Just Step Sideways Could you point me (and others) to the AN(I)/AE/etc. discussion or any other place where there is a rationale and/or consensus to block this editor? TIA Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
