WQA Comment

I commented below you at WQA and saw your comment, viz: the discussion itself is inherently tedious and I don't see how that can be avoided. Such is the nature of (or IMO, failure of) the consensus-based decision-making process when you have far too many participants. :/ (which, again, is why I refuse to participate in policy discussions on Wikipedia anymore under any circumstances) Amen to that brother, but I wonder if this doesn't rather compromise your opinion in such matters - if you cannot even bring yourself to participate in such discussions, does that not qualify any comments you make regarding those who do? Perhaps not, but I would add this: you seem to be saying, all policy discussions are tedious and in that context, some users are more tedious than others. I don't disagree, but I do wonder if a rather more aggressive approach wouldn't be useful insofar as it would discourage the accretion of tedium in an already tedious demesne. It seems needlessly supine to say merely: Oh well, this is what such discussions tend to produce. Anyway, just a thought. Eusebeus (talk) 14:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I have replied on my talk page.

Also not a barnstar

Just wanted to drop in and commend you for your technical work with that script. Rather than worrying about what had occurred in the past, you looked to prevent it from re-occurring in the future. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished, so I was wondering if you might be able to sort a way to have this script User:AzaToth/twinklewarn.js display "Blocking" by default? Your actions inspired me to solve this problem on my own (which turned out to be quite simple, really). Anyways, keep up the great technical work. A da vinci barnstar would've gone here. ;p xenocidic (talk) 00:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
