Bridges

As an authority on London bridges, do you have a view on the question I've raised at Talk:Westminster Bridge? It might be a particularly-noted feature of the bridge that needs a decent source, or it might just be silliness, so I'd welcome your views. Bencherlite 23:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Please allow me to express my awe and admiration; I've never seen this page so short before. Waltham, The Duke of 15:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I'd say absolutely not worth mentioning. Anything in a trefoil shape will cast a shadow that looks like a cock-and-balls when the sun's at a particular angle; since the trefoil is a very common motif in Gothic architecture, there's nothing particularly remarkable about this instance. – iridescent 18:31, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hope you're still around

Hey, Iridescent. Just wanted to drop a message off here, wondering that you're still around. I hope that the whole Mandall Creighton affair over at FAC hasn't got you down or anything, because it shouldn't have; I think you did everything right, and that Creighton deserves to be an FA. Anyway, hope to see you around, doing the same damn fine FA work you have in the past. Cheers, Skinny87 (talk) 18:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

She's not quite gone: see Special:Contributions/Iridescent 2. Majorly talk 18:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Still here but busy at the moment. Because the Mandell Creighton saga spun out far longer than anticipated it was closed while I was away (probably just as well, as I suspect my replies to Team Mattisse would have been less than civil). – iridescent 18:31, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Disgusted

I'm disgusted by this, from the Chief of Civility Police. I've tried acid myself when I was at university, and I very well know what it can do. Is there any way of getting this nutcase relieved of his tools asap? --Malleus Fatuorum 06:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

You want to desysop someone for dropping acid? --Closedmouth (talk) 07:34, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

It wouldn't go anywhere. Remember, Misplaced Pages's run by 20-somethings (yes I'm stereotyping, but not by much); look back to what you were like at that age. You and I are old enough to know acid casualties and LSD-suicides and see just how much it wrecks its users long-term, but I'm sure when you were that age you thought you were immortal too. If this were to go anywhere, Arbcom would probably privately sympathise with you (given that Arbcom's current most prominent members are a lawyer and a Mormon respectively), but wouldn't dare take any action. – iridescent 2 11:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't care what substances people consume in the privacy of their own homes, but I don't want to have to factor into the stupidity that goes on here the possibility that the administrators may be tripping. It's bad enough when they're evidently and self-confessedly drunk. --Malleus Fatuorum 15:38, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Ha. I just feel, oddly, like saying "Propriety!" When you get drunk, stoned, or drop hits, propriety demands you enjoy it by staying off of Misplaced Pages and decreasing the probability that you edit while intoxicated. Strangeness should not have to be excused; it should not occur in the first place. Drugs are to be used as an escape...from the crap that goes on here, not as something that factors in to the bullshit that makes one want to escape in the first place. --Moni3 (talk) 13:12, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I always wondered one day whether there'd be a sooper dooper monobook code which could remotely sense chemicals through fingertips all round the world..and the fonts would change accordingly, so alcohol --> comic sans and brown, cannabis --> green ( and some groovy hipy font but I can think of a specific one), and LSD would be...um WingDings I think...Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

That about sums it up. Since Chillum is apparently sometimes on Misplaced Pages while on acid, this should affect how much trust we place in him to use his tools. If someone ran for RfA and this came up in the process, they'd be laughed out. Nev1 (talk) 16:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I learned a valuable lesson when I was 20 years old and inexperienced with drinking. My gf at the time (who was an alcoholic, though she denied it) told me that the trick to drinking is to portray yourself as never drunk. Only alcoholics and children think it's funny to be inebriated in public. When I start to teeter and am unable to keep myself upright, that lesson stuck with me so that that's my cue to go home and reel, fall, and walk into walls and chairs in the privacy of my own home. The same goes for Misplaced Pages. --Moni3 (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

• It appears that Chillum will not be forth coming as to how his drug use may or may not affect his judgment as an admin. As such, I think that an RfC will be necessary if he continues to refuse, as he cannot be trusted with the ops until a clear explanation is given so his judgment can be determined as correct or not. Combined with his secret secondary account, this is problematic. Ottava Rima (talk) 18:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
