Important safety tip:

I'm more active on Commons where I'm an admin.

If you need me, ping me at Commons:User talk:Rootology which will mail me (or just mail).

Worked up

I'm not worked up. Sometimes my writing style can be seen as worked up, but that is because I tend to be direct and insist on rather clear and full details on things. That can be seen as a little excited, but I prefer to think of it as thorough. Discussions on wikipedia are debates, not votes, and I like to encourage that--Crossmr (talk) 03:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Clarification

In re [1]: I attempted to indicate on Sceptre's talk page that there are no IP similarities between Sceptre and Frosty Jack. They are both in the UK but on different ISPs. It is, of course, possible for one person to have more than one ISP, but at the moment there is no technical connection whatsoever between the accounts, and speculation to the contrary is just speculuation.

I shot you an email earlier (I believe it was the right address). Thanks again. rootology (T) 02:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I have not received it. Thatcher131 at gmail dot com? Thatcher 04:35, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, thatcher at gmail just got a confusing email (no personal info--just probably absurdly out of context and bizarre to them!). I'll resend it right. rootology (C)(T) 04:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI

As I've said now in at least three forums (including once about two inches above your most recent post), I, Matthew Bisanz, will not run for Arb Com in 2008. If nominated, I will not answer questions, if elected, I will not serve, yadda, yadda. Thanks for the thought though, at least half a dozen people have asked me to run, so I must be doing something right around here. MBisanz ^talk 03:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Aw, you're screwing up my handicapping here! I'll never be the next Cosell. :P

For what its worth, I think you'd be one of the good ones, like I said on the Forum of Ultimately Supreme Human Deprivation. rootology (T) 03:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Tread lightly, I am not a newb.

With that said, Please verify your sources to make sure they are not one citation referring to another. Veriss (talk) 07:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not a newb either. rootology (C)(T) 07:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Not looking for a conflict, just don't want to be run over. I just don't want the end product to be a partisan embarrassment to Wiki....that's my only goal.

Thanks

Thanks for the vote of confidence at WR, but unless something with my schedule changes between now and December, I won't be running for ArbCom. For one, at my current schedule I don't have the time to devote to it, and being as I was critical last year of the very same thing, I can't in good conscience run. Secondly, I've pissed off enough people to make it likely impossible, given the likely mechanisms ArbCom elections would use, but even if that didn't happen, the level of controversy that'd inevitably follow would be detrimental to ArbCom. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 08:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
