Easy
Take it easy Pedro buddy, nothing is inevitable. Avruch T 23:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Death is. Income Tax is. Getting shit for doing what you know is right is. I'm tired and I fancy a clean up. Pedro : Chat 23:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- No income tax in New Hampshire... But I meant on Wikipedia. Don't take it personally - you do what you think is right, and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. You couldn't (and shouldn't) have done anything differently, and the outcome isn't yet determined. Avruch T 23:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm irritated by the trolling on this RFA. Honestly (and I know Wisdom will read this) it'll fail. Bugger. But it could at least have failed without the grief. What pisses me of more than anything is the UAA stuff. The guy gets beaten up for being to stern. Learns from it and goes easy and gets beaten up for being too forgiving. Dear goodness me. This place is starting to become more trouble than it's worth. net positive doesn't have to apply to RFA - it can apply to the whole reward/effort thing on WP. However, rant over, and my thanks for your kind words. Pedro : Chat 23:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm a little surprised. I've been through some shitty RfAs and I'm still here. I thought we were singing from the same hymn sheet? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, MF - you're right. I shouldn't bitch abut it. I'm just frustrated by the trolling in Neutral on Wisdom's RFA. It's beyond petty and it's not actually so funny. I think I should step away as my input at the moment is likely to become even less useful Pedro : Chat 23:38, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

- It's pretty obvious that Wisdom's RfA is unlikely to succeed, but that doesn't make Wisdom a bad person, simply demonstrates once again that the denizens of RfA can't tell their arses from their elbows. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
No worries, Pedro - you and I share paralleled thoughts. I do not appreciate the trolling in the neutral section - I find it in poor taste. Secondly, the UAA concerns are unsettling to say the least given the flak I received in RfA number 3 regarding my stringency. I'm not implying I changed my behavior based on that to pass my next RfA (I wasn't even sure there was going to be one), but adopting a non-bite mentality is far from a dangerous course of action. Ah well, RfA is a biotch : ) Wisdom89 (T / C) 00:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Let's see what it looks like tomorrow. Meantime I just buggered up undeletion of my user page so I now have to design a new one, as well as sorting out the links to my user sub pages again. Joy. Off to bed now - the children will be waking me up in < 7 hours ... ! Pedro : Chat 00:10, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- I hate to say it, but the way RfA treats people, even when they try and improve upon the way it works, is one of the prime reasons why I no longer edit in that area or anything related to it. I wish Wisdom the best of luck with the RfA, but after the way I was getting worked up on WT:RFA at times it's best that I stay clear of the entire area, for better or worse. I wouldn't throw the bit in because of it. It is unlikely to change anything and will at most be met with a mass shrugging of shoulders. Gazimoff 00:12, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly right Gazimoff. RfA wouldn't change and wikipedia would be the poorer for the loss of a good administrator. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The RfA
Well, I'm fairly convinced that once again the rather nitpicky non-opposes have begun to start a chain reaction, or, at least, will. While not entirely a pile on, and although my percentage is still above 75, I would rather chew broken glass than sit through another 6 days of the same. My Wiki-stress level is through the roof at the moment. The lenient UAA stuff is, to put it bluntly, mindbogglingly ridiculous. I think this is the first time I've seen opposes based on assuming good faith. At any rate, I'm withdrawing and will be taking a Wiki-respite in the meantime. Thank you, Pedro, for your confidence in me. Wisdom89 (T / C) 13:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
