Just to let you know that I admire your work and am sorry that I made you feel so. Indeed I often block before the "final" warning recently. In this case, there was a level-3 warning, which is "enough" for a justified block. Anyway, let me know if you want me to do something about it (unblock or something).

:Hasty .. I would think so a couple of years ago. Those who came here for cheap fun leave characteristic patterns, and I started blocking them quicker, for two major reasons - (i) I did try a lot to let them go and then saw them return, quite nastily, (ii) admins are leaving, vandals are only coming back in thousands - good to know that people like you are watching, but I do know that we are too few and we fail (I daily receive signals of unnoticed vandalism, and perhaps it is healthier not to know how much of it we let through :-). ] (]) 11:07, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate you co-editing this plot, I have been keeping a sharp eye on the article to give as simple, but yet precise of how the storyline is revealed. So far I have played the game up to the Sarajevo encounter. I was so fond of the Philippine operation, as the Filipino technical advisers have done their best of getting the Tagalog scripts right and Filipino accents well, despite the setting is the 'Chabacano' speaking province of Basilan in Mindanao.

I really wanted to hear your input bec. of there have been so many changes of the Philippine special forces utilized along with the US Navy SEAL. I did mention the Scout Rangers, but was later changed by other sources as "Filipino special forces". It just sounded like, despite being from a 3rd world developing country, that there is no recognition at all. I then did the research and found the Philippine Army Special Forces, founded by Gen. (later Pres.) ] and replaced with that name. I was thinking that maybe other 'co-editors' did not want to 'specify' the Filipino special forces group. But why was the Pakistani ISI mentioned or the Polish GROM. I read about the NAVSOG group, but reviewing the game, I know the army had the most encounters with the Abu Sayyaf especially during the missionaries taken hostage.

I hope we can work on this together to give the Filipino (our Filipinos) the recognition it deserves. Peace to you! Jay2siazon <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 05:30, 9 November 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
