::: Hi Lara, I'm pretty dismayed by Misplaced Pages: any pretence at NPOV has been lost, as there is a bias in active contributors on almost every topic. I recently lost my bit for inactivity, which pissed me off a lot. Meanwhile editor numbers seem to have dropped, and so there are many pages that are just piles of cow shit that no one cares about any more. It might be painless to bring such articles to B level, maybe close to GA, so I am experimenting with that idea. Let me know if you are interested in such an adventure. In any case, I hope you are well. '']'' 00:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

== Go Lara Go! ==

I was 30 when I went back to college. 33 when I got my bachelor's. I expect I'll be around 38 or so when I finish a PhD. It CAN be done. And, if you need some help, that BS ( and future PhD) are in Statistics, which is the first cousin of math. ] (]) 04:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm for certain not majoring in math. I'm just trying not to bomb the SATs. Haha. And I definitely have respect for those that go to college later in life. I think it's more stressful. BUT!! I look like I'm in my early 20s, so maybe no one will notice. Haha. ''']''']''']''' 04:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::Good luck! If you have math questions let me know. It was one of my favorite sujects. It is never too late to go back to school. ] <sup>]</sup> 15:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you've gone mad with power. Now we can be buddies! I'm making a "Welcome to the Cabal" Template - I'll run it by you once it's done. Oh, and thanks for assuming the role of "Violent Fire-fox Nazi", someone had to do it. Stay Frosty! <b>]]</b> 05:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

:I've been mad, both with power and without... but I'm glad it's starting to become obvious. I look forward to seeing awesome in template form. Make it look sweet in Firefox but shitty in IE... which shouldn't be hard. I'm a long-time follower of Firefoxism. I've got a flag hanging in my living room and a tattoo on my back. Viva Firefox!

== The probation of Homeopathy and the use of Rfc's ==

I think edit wars are very counter productive and I will not participate in them. With that said I reverted an edit by an Ip address who seems to be opposed to having anyone address Dana's concerns about the article misrepresenting him . I think that the time for an Rfc on the block quote in question may be fast approaching. I do not intend to revert anyone else on that particular edit but I would appreciate your input pursuant to the use of Rfc's to
avoid the onset of an incipient edit war : ] (]) 13:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
: As an update I would like to say that I may have spoke too soon. Another Ip address made an edit that may wind up being accepted by everyone inas much as it attempts to represent both sides. But I still wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on the frequent use of Rfc's to avoid edit warring. ] (]) 13:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

::I'm keeping a watch on Dana and teaching him the ropes. I've initiated one RfC for him. If he feels the need to initiate another, he can come to me with his questions on how to proceed. For everyone else, you guys should already know what's up. I'm not getting embroiled in this mess any more than I already am. I've got too much going on, on-wiki and off.

== Block shortening ==

Hello - in the future, could you give me a heads-up if you shorten one of my blocks? It's not a big deal, but I'd like the feedback. My concern with {{user|Mccready}} is that he's rationalized away every previous block as the work of "newbie admins", "overzealous chiro believers", admin abuse, etc. He's got 3 previous 3RR blocks that stuck, plus one overturned and an additional block for "wikistalking" - he's got ongoing problems. My gut feeling is that the reduction gives him more fodder for rationalizing away yet another block, and that admin-shopping with 3 successive {{tl|unblock}} templates probably ought to be discouraged, but that's me.

Great to see you again! Its been so long. As far as the Reply tool, I think something in your talkpage template might be interfering with it. I've found that it works well on general pages, but the more heavily customized userpages sometimes give it trouble. The Wordsmith 17:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
