Jeff, I'm glad to see that you are back here at least reading and responding to posts. I agree with you more than I disagree with you and support your position in much of what I read at ArbCom; however, I can't fully support your approach to the process and definitely am disappointed in your vulgar post above. If you are going to leave a project that you loved, please leave cleanly and respectfully. Try to learn from the criticism. I have been through my life somewhat volatile and controversial as well, but have learned that falling on your sword is only effective in old B movies, and martyrs are soon forgotten by all but zealots and the clergy. Please come back to work when you are ready. --[[User:Kevin Murray|Kevin Murray]] 14:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Are we here to write an encyclopedia,
or are we here to fuck around as a charity case while we fawn all over eachother? Apparently, charity case. Nope, we're not an encyclopedia anymore.

Indeed. We often disagreed on deletions, but you were most of the time a voice of reason, until you got provocated. It is sad that sanctions are taken on the side disagreeing, while those people that acted basically the same but has the support of the ArbCom in their interpretation of the policy don't even get a slap on the wrist.

Aw. I saw several of your edits in my travels here, and I thought you were a really good contributor. Take care, sorry to see you're leaving. Joie de VivreT00:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thats really unfortunate. I'm pretty sure you've seen me around on afd discussions and on various WP:N talk pages (mostly WP:MUSIC). You have truly have been an inspiration to me. I liked your no BS, "fight for what you belive in" approach. Someone needs to stick around on Wikipedia and fight for articles representing notable independent artists and fighting againt guidelines that set our community back, sorry to see you go - -RiseRobotRise02:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Have you considered writing books, if you don't already? You'd get paid, and wouldn't have to deal with folks looking to throw authoratative (??) weight around just to pass the time. With your research and writing talent, you could be the next Barbara Tuchman!
Anyway, I don't mean to be patronizing, but I hope you're not bummed out. I mean, you know as well as I do that you've got to be smarter than any yahoo who thinks that your recycling of DRV's overrides the fact that you're in the top single digits of people on this project who actually write articles. I wish I had a fraction of the talent you've got for writing biographies, and if I did, I'd give the wannabe PR-agents a merry belly laugh and never look back.
It's actually something I've been working on somewhat, so the lack of this distraction will help me achieve that more. I'm not really bummed out, seriously - I knew the day would come eventually, and now it's here. --badlydrawnjefftalk13:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
