Hi Swatjester - You made a curious comment on your ArbCom vote. I expected that many users would regard my lack of logged-in editing as a negative (to be honest, I have no expectation of being elected, chiefly for this reason). However your comment "seems out of touch with today's Misplaced Pages" completely caught me by surprise. If you have the time I'd be grateful if you could explain how you came to that opinion. Cheers ] 04:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Swat, the RfA was going great when I saw it in the early stages, sorry it didn't work out... I think you can take comfort that most of the oppose votes gave guidance on how to make good, no "lost cause" here in anyone's mind. Nice one, <b>]</b> 17:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


Ah - that was more to do with using IRC :) I haven't used IRC in over six years and couldn't remember the conventions, and was also clueless on Misplaced Pages IRC customs. I am also fairly ignorant as to the inner technicalities of MediaWiki (which is unlikely to change) and my problem was to do with userids and historical data. It even took Tim Starling a while to figure it all out, so I didn't feel too dumb in the end. But thanks for your reply - appreciated. Cheers ] 05:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

To be honest when I saw your RfA I thought it'd be an easy support but after reading the oppose reasons, and examining them carefully I didn't feel able to this time. I'm sure though by taking the comments on board and doing all you can to fix the issues raised you'll be a great candidate next time- I look forward to being able to support you then.

Hi, I never came to thank you for the message you left for me a month ago when I stepped down from being a bureaucrat. Thank you for the things you said, it's good to know there are still plenty of good people about in this project. I do not see myself standing for bureaucrat again anytime soon though who knows what the future may bring! Thank you once again. -- ]<font color="green">]</font>] ] 09:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

::No. I believe that posting the email was the right thing for him to do. However, posting private emails, while the right thing to do maybe for a user, is absolutely unacceptable as an arbitrator. So he did the right thing, but because the right thing involved doing something that indicates a lack of trust for sensitive material, I cannot support him for arbcom; even though his actions have greatly raised my respect level for him. ]] ] 21:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
