It's probably a joke, then again, such ways of joking are not nice. TCLP is too immature for a promotion, Protanly had a promotion and is even more immature I'd like to point out for the continuing confusion: RetroBowser has and always will be a persona in chat. per·so·na ˌpərˈsōnə/ noun noun: persona; plural noun: personae; plural noun: personas

the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others. "her public persona" a role or character adopted by an author or an actor. synonyms:image, face, public face, character, personality, identity, self; When I say RetroBowser is a persona, I am saying that being the "Wiki chat troll" has become a huge part of how people know and interact with me here on the wiki. You can look into how I behave on the forums, mainspaces, and talk pages and note the clear and distinct difference in how I go about presenting myself.

I do not see myself as immature, though I have and will always see "The troll" to be so. In reality I see myself as a respectful and literate person who values the proper use of language. I care about others and do not fancy seeing them in pain. I am professional. I am responsible. I hold down 2 different jobs at the age of 16, one a summer job, and one for the rest of the year. Both of which by the way, include working with children. I go to an advanced placement program outside of my own town for the Sciences.

RetroBowser on the other hand is none of those things. He is simply a troll that bums around chat making dumb jokes towards others. He is just the character in the stage play we call "PVZ Wiki Chat". I agree that what I have done under my persona has gone too far. I am currently trying to make amends for this cause. If anything, it has been a wake up call for me. I plan on trying to tone things down so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

At the end of the day, All I want is to be the kind of guy that can make people laugh, while also being able to be professional and respectable everywhere else on the wiki.

With my warmest regards,

~Protanly You're seriously making your old username seem to be a different person? I understand you mean you've changed but still. I know what you're trying to do, you just have to know A.When to stop and B.If your attempt of making someone laugh will make them feel the opposite, like this thread's reason for being made, trying to make someone laugh but instead seriously hurting their feelings. I agree with you We have a kudos button. Please use that instead of just posting "I agree with you".

That, or at least say more than "I agree." If you're going to agree with someone, it should be at least 2-5 sentences, cause then it adds nothing to the discussion. It needs reasoning.
