{{notice|small=no|image=The middle finger.svg |header=Why Retirement?|I'm tired of dealing with assholes who know nothing of creating good content, but who think that they have a right to be abusive. I'm tired of watching certain groups get protection from racist slurs, but so long as all you're doing is denigrating an Indian, it's OK, because that not really racism. I'm tired of admins who see that, but decide that it's not a real problem, so they don't address the problem, so the problems get worse. I'm tired of ArbCom members who are not old enough to shave, who have no real life experience, but who decide that threats to out someone merely merit a warning (been there, done that, filed the lawsuit). I have no desire to go through that again, so the asshats win. I'm outta here. | |||

I tell people to just let Greg have his say and ignore it, but do people listen to me? *sigh* Now, that out of the way, I'm going to disagree slightly with the "must have 2 GAs" criteria, simply because sometimes that might not actually be sufficient. All GAs are not equal, and on some niche subjects like obscure species of mushrooms or minor hurricanes in Antarctica, it may be possible to meet the "broad in coverage" part of the GA criteria without too much effort. While working on a ]-worthy subject to GA takes far more time and effort, ''and'' is more likely to be the place where you'll encounter disputes, petty MOS wonkery, and all the general things trying to maintain a popular article at GA status will throw at you (''especially'' if it involves living people or ongoing events - in fact, I would avoid taking any BLP to GA if you value your sanity). ] ] ] 20:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC) | |||

Your RFA oppose
It is one thing to have your own idiosyncratic rules for how you vote on RFAs, and it is another to bait editors who say stupid things in response to your vote. Please don't make comments such as I'll be happy to respond as soon as you post a legitimate reason for supporting the nomination. PS, I'll be the judge if your response is legitimate or not.
on RFAs, even in response to people who don't have legitimate reasons to support the RFA. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 19:18, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- There was nothing about my reply to his questioning my oppose !vote that was inappropriate. I'll be happy to listen to your advice when you question some of the less than adequate support !votes. Until then, you are free to have whatever opinion you want, but I'm not all that interested in hearing it. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 22:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- To be honest, I really feel bad and I was out of line to have called your criteria obtuse nor user antagonist words like “laughable” I violated my own oath to myself which is not to (speak) when i am upset. Myself & Ritchie333 always butt heads but nonetheless they have always defended me whenever I was in trouble, we have a great deal of respect for each other, so when they mentioned that your criteria has remained the same over years, I paused for a minute and thought things over. I apologize for my rude comments, please do accept my apology. Even if I didn’t understand your criteria I could have engaged you in a more productive manner. If you choose to not to reply I perfectly understand & if you choose not to accept my apology I understand also, just know that I am indeed truly sorry for being rude to you. Celestina007 (talk) 16:14, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Celestina007 - that was very gracious, and I accept your apology, as I hope that you'll accept mine if I offended you. GregJackP Boomer! 20:02, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for accepting my apology. It does mean a lot to me, you didn’t offend me in any manner, it was I who acted irresponsibly. Once again thank you mate. Celestina007 (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm going to take an unpopular position and thank you for your oppose on the RFA. Not on the merits, because that's entirely between you and your higher power. I'm thanking you for your WP:BOLD. In my RFA, the first person to oppose MY run was acting bravely. I think occasionally a senior user might feel the need to give permission for others to disagree with a clear consensus, just because. In this case invoking your completely reasonable personal criteria (which I'm glad I passed) helps others to not "go along to get along." All of us want more and better sysops. We can't do it unless RFA is allowed to work itself out. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 16:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I tell people to just let Greg have his say and ignore it, but do people listen to me? *sigh* Now, that out of the way, I'm going to disagree slightly with the "must have 2 GAs" criteria, simply because sometimes that might not actually be sufficient. All GAs are not equal, and on some niche subjects like obscure species of mushrooms or minor hurricanes in Antarctica, it may be possible to meet the "broad in coverage" part of the GA criteria without too much effort. While working on a Million award-worthy subject to GA takes far more time and effort, and is more likely to be the place where you'll encounter disputes, petty MOS wonkery, and all the general things trying to maintain a popular article at GA status will throw at you (especially if it involves living people or ongoing events - in fact, I would avoid taking any BLP to GA if you value your sanity).

- I used generic pronouns in my response and will properly address her in the future. It was not an intentional slight, but I'm not inclined to go back and edit my post on something this minor. If she's offended, she can say so and I'll work out an amicable solution with her. Regards: GregJackP Boomer! 04:54, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please see my comment on the RfA page—I think you're mistaken about the Bluebook form for the article titles. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi GregJackP. I notice you worked on the United States v. Kagama case. I just created an article on the lawyer involved in that case, Joseph Redding.

I thought you might like to assist on building out content on his law career.
