 This is just so the bestestest! It's visually nice and has it all in a small package. Martonimos's is good, but it looks somehow boring. MAGNEDETH's is just plain rude and IMO should not be used. Though the problem is, does everyone like to have such box in the top of his/her talk page? That needs to be worked out, for example a possibility of hiding it somehow after reading could be useful... <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 17:06, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... you blatently impersonated another user. Saying "I'm Jmath!"...can't really look for a deeper meaning there. You were impersonating him in order to get him in trouble. And then you did it again through e-mails, but I won't bring that up here. Just to say, quit trying to fool anyone; we aren't idiots, we know what you did, we know that you lie every time you deny someone saying that you impersonate users, and that tag on your Userpage is a complete lie.
