User talk:Drmies

We're on vacation.

A beer for you!

Gotta start that vacation right....unless you are driving (then save this for later). :) Happy 4th!...Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:57, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much

Hi there. I'm clearly too stupid for the "thank" feature. When I tried to thank you for this, I accidentally thanked User:Thumperward for something completely different instead, and I do mean completely. Never mind… it was good luck, really, because I don't really want to thank you for that edit in a way other people can't see, on the contrary I want to praise you to the skies right here. Thank you very much right here for this edit. Bishonen | talk 20:26, 4 July 2013 (UTC).

What's going on???

I am out of the loop. Why have you and BW both requested de-sysopping? LadyofShalott 15:53, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• This mess. Cripes, Drmies... but I can't say I blame you. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• Oh heck! I didn't even get time to try and talk you out of it. Are you sure that's what you wanted to do? Of course we now have the entire anti-admin brigade jumping up and down in the schoolyard chanting "Two down and only 662 active admins to go! Hey, hey, rock the boat! Rock the boat! Yo, ho ho!" If I see you in Hong Kong I will invite you to dinner - and scold you badly. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:23, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• Well, fuck. Wikipedia has now lost two admins who don't follow the conventional "admin crowd", as it were. Not good. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:31, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Damn. I don't see any good out of any of this. LadyofShalott 16:33, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
    • I, and I think most editors, are not anti-admin, but rather anti admin abuse and the communitie's complete unwillingness/ineffectiveness to do anything about it. And a gutless arbcom does not help. As is, it takes countless victims and arduous years of RFCs/AC/etc to get something done about just one bad admin. Drmies and Boing are fine admins and yes, seeing their frustration get to this level is very sad.PumpkinSky talk 17:30, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh bloody Hell. I was chasing down a mess concerning German silent films and then walking the dogs. You're supposed to be on vacation and as an admin, I do not pull my weight. You have done, and more. Please have a lovely vacation and when you come back - reconsider. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:51, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• I certainly hope a little time off will cause you to reconsider this decision. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:31, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• A break from the non-stop stupidity will do wonders for your karma, Drmies. The real world is filled with far fewer power hungry jerks, and a lot more sunshine and kids and alcohol. Enjoy the break. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:39, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Sock troll

The last edits I reverted on your page was from a sock, but anyways enjoy your break and wish you all the best for the future. Prabash.Akmeemana 18:19, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks--but sock, yes, troll no. It's an old friend and I'm surprised that I still warrant his attention. I appreciate it, but I'm re-inserting his message. Drmies (talk) 21:35, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

you're too good for this place anyway

Hi again Drmies. While it's unfortunate that you have dropped your sysop privs, i understand why. Abusive sysops like ironholds have taken over, and they will do as they please, under threat of being "thwapped". Wikipedia has just lost one of "the good ones" when you resigned, and while i'm sorry to see you go, i reckon you're better off without wikipedia. Let ironholds and his tag team have the place. He and his clique seem to have an iron hold on the place anyway. Take care. /)(\ Sockmachine (talk) 18:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

PS: sorry this isn't better phrased. Presbyopia and tiny screens don't mix well. Take it easy, and if you're inclined to email me, use iLvadeL@diLdomaiL.com. :) Sockmachine (talk) 18:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• I appreciate the note, Bad Sock. I don't endorse your condemnation of one specific sysop, but I do believe we got some work to do on our culture, and at the moment I am incapable of doing that. I may not ever be able to do anything, really--Allzumenschliches. And I've not dropped Wikipedia (completely)--I just don't want to be one of them anymore, for now. Besides, socking is fun also. :) Hey, take care of yourself. It's always nice to hear from you, and I hope/trust you're being good to yourself and your neighbor. Say hi to Alison if you run into her.

99, wishing you the best

Whatever you choose to do you have my support. Cheers, 76.248.151.159 (talk) 20:23, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks, and thanks to everyone else as well. Y'all are a nice bunch of people to work with. I'm not abandoning this account though I'm taking it easy, and right now I don't want to feel like a big shot. Sorry if I can't be of the usual help administratively; at some point I'll be a somewhat regular editor again and then I'll be glad to do what I can. Hope Mrs. 99 is doing well, by the way. Drmies (talk) 21:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

• Ms. 99 is doing much better; thank you for asking. Very warm in New England now, so I find myself doing the backstroke through a tub of Leinenkugel. I hope everyone is well at Chez Drmies. You've been a great presence here, and will continue to be so wherever you opt to contribute. Always feel free to drop a line off-Wiki. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 22:26, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Hulk sad

Hulk sorry for behaving like Hulk, and Hulk wants Golden Boy to come back. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 20:32, 5 July 2013 (UTC) After reading a book on Russian guitar poetry which ignores the guitar, Kiefer also wonders whether learning the lute is required of literature doctoral-students who want to go Medieval on your ass, despite the example of Major Major Major Major. 20:37, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
