Revision as of 21:50, 4 August 2005
Leaving Community
I will no longer be participating in the Misplaced Pages community. I may change my mind, but probably not for a while. I will likley continue to edit articles, either signed in or not, depending on what I feel like, but I will no longer be interacting in the community at large, including policy discussions, votes for deltion, requests for adminship and the like.
The reason I have done this is because I feel like the community is ends oriented, with to many of its members unconcerned with the means.
This is related to the incident with User:Ed Poor, but it is not what he did, but how the community reacted to it.
I have never entertained the idea that poor conduct is justifyiable by seniority, a good laugh, or by the ends. The means never justify the end.
I could argue this, and hold my ground valiantly in the community.
Or, I can do what makes me happy, and not entertain something I feel deep at the core of my being is wrong.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.--Tznkai 22:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- Addendum: User:Kim Bruning talked some sense into me, so I've decided to instead take a week long vacation from the community. I will still be editing articles, but I will not be participating in community activities. I'll see how I like it. The invalidations of my votes holds.--Tznkai 22:16, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I am sorry to see you leaving the community. You have been a good editor and contributor to wikipedia and I hope that you will continue contributing to wikipedia and in time will feel comfortable returning to participating in things like VFD and RFA. If you decide to return remember to watch your step as there will be exploded sperm whales and pots of petunias scattered around. Jtkiefer ----- 23:16, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Contributions
If you feel the community is too much to deal with, you should try focusing on researching/creating quality featured articles. This lets time pass and unless you choose a controversial topic, you'll have little interaction with the community until the time comes for FAC, but the people there are pretty reasonable. </ramble> -- BRIAN0918 23:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
Take it easy! :-)

revert on God
Are you sure you wanted to add back all those rofls? Jayjg 19:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Thank you!
Thank you for your support on my RfA, even though you retracted it due to another user's very poor actions. It really does mean a lot to me to get that kind of trust. A wikibreak is always a good idea. humblefool® 19:42, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
What?
I'm fairly new, so I haven't been following wiki-politics... what happened? Lepidoptera 23:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Jtkiefer's RFA
Thanks for your support on my RFA, I really appreciated it and again I hope that you will eventually come back to participating in things such as RFA. Jtkiefer ----- 05:11, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
ID/Silverback's content
Since you've historically objected to Silverback's content in the article, upon seeing his latest reinsertion of it, I rolled it back (along with some additional 'example creep' added by some passersby). Silverback promptly reverted my reversion. Since I'm not inclined to participate in yet another revert war on this article, I've reverted the bits of example creep but let Silverback's content stand anticipating your return to the article. If you still object to the content, you have my endorsement, if for no other reason than it's rather long and the article is on a diet. FeloniousMonk 12:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Ed Poor
Hi.
You may wish to take a look at my recent post to Ed's page, which I made before I happened across your departure note. You may find that I share some of your concerns. I suspect that many others do to, but I am among the few who is willing to speak up. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
