User:Coffeeshivers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I used to edit Wikipedia occasionally. I still do. But nowadays I, for some strange reason, spend too much time reading talk pages, Village pump threads and other places where red hot debates happen. That usually makes me sad, angry and worked up, and it isn't uncommon that I type long replies with more fury than eloquence. Usually, I come to my senses and close the browser before hitting 'Save'. Sometimes I don't.

There are a lot of people on Wikipedia who don't WP:AGF, and far too often I am one of those.

I'm attempting to stay in article space from now on. It will be interesting to see if I succeed. /Coffeeshivers (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
