Revision as of 13:52, 11 December 2007

This account is a legit reincarnation of a never blocked or otherwise restricted user who is being stalked in real life. If you must know then ask. Two crats and several admins are aware of the old account and I have explicitly stated on-wiki that I don't object to a checkuser. Assume good faith, please.

It is time for me to once again disengage and walk away from Misplaced Pages before I get too carried away. I haven't really been contributing to mainspace for months now due to utter disappointment. Too many things to mention but those who have seen me around know why. I'll be back when I'm ready to once again contribute to the encyclopedia rather than the endless and often pointless conflicts that have been going on, especially since around July-August. Happy editing and respect to those of you with a more pragmatic and less idealistic approach to Misplaced Pages. I truly do wish I was more like you! Indenting all my votes in the ArbCom election without informing me or taking the time to talk to me sure didn't help either. I really need time to rethink if this is project and the way it is being run is something I want to participate in anymore.
