-== Query ==
-Are you interested in talking about [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_candidates&curid=437575&diff=940807150&oldid=940806954 this?]  I ask because you are one of the few new FAC people who seemed to understand the need to re-invigorate FAR.  The short answer/question is, why do you think I (or any one person) can deal with, or should deal with, or is able to deal with hundreds of potential FARs? I get one every two weeks, just like everyone else.  I'm not superwoman, and even if I could work 24/7 for years to bring up every potential FAR, the process doesn't allow me to. I haven't even gotten through 2006, and I don't see many people helping.  There's a longer answer if you are interested.

-:He's hardly "new" to FAC, {{u|SandyGeorgia}}. He been active at FAC in all the time I've been there, and [[Stanley Holloway|my first one]] was in 2011.

-:: Context; read the full sentence.  FAR has been moribund in that entire period.  New to FAC since the entire FA process (FAC, FAR, TFA) worked together.  [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]])  01:16, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
-:::Got you. FAR is integral as a critic of FA, IMO, and is massively underused.  I would say there are a lot - a quarter, maybe - of articles at FA that shouldn't be. But this place is a hostile environment, so it's no wonder we don't get any volunteers.

-:{{ec}} {{u|SandyGeorgia|New}}? Nine years and 78 FAs? OK, if you say so. But that also means I don't view the various processes through rose-tinted spectacles either, or think (or even care) that there was ever a 'golden age' of FAs.
-:No, I don't want to discuss it Sandy. I really don't want to discuss anything about anything related to FA. I have already given enough reasons as to why. When there is a petty, disruptive, aggressive, tendentious second rate troll with a BATTLEFIELD attitude relentlessly pushing his personal preferences on reviews and being a huge pain in the arse about it, then there is no enjoyment left – and enjoyment is the only reason I do what I do in my limited spare time. When there are people enabling such idiocy and dragging in five- or six-year-old grudges to put a knife in me, rather than looking at the bigger picture, there is even less reason to be arsed about the whole thing.
-:You can complain about the quoting of Brian's email as much you want: he was a damned sight more perceptive than most others about the flaws, and if you can't take on board his message, then FA will have a limited lifespan. I fully agree with what he said, and at some point the message will get through to people, if it's not too late. Driving away FA creators to satisfy the whim of a second-rate non-entity may seem like sport to some, but not to me.
-:I'm going to archive this thread once I've posted it (I've pinged you so you can read it in the history), but I don't want to discuss our featured product any further. – [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat#top|talk]]) 07:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
