Why no Facebook? Because I don't do it. Facebook must die.

A voluntary restriction

My concern is mounting. I think I've done some good work in helping Misplaced Pages to get over the hump in climate change coverage but I've spent too much time and energy trying to get the community to damp down the fires that followed the final decision. I'm satisfied now that I achieved that end, but I don't think I'm able to go back to editing in the topic for a good long while. I'm too twitchy.

And so:

Tony Sidaway's voluntary editing restriction

Tony Sidaway has implemented a self-imposed temporary voluntary restriction that he makes no edits within the scope of the topic ban, with the exception, as part of Recent Changes patrolling, of making routine cleanup-style edits and reverting cases of obvious vandalism.

I haven't done much recent changes patrolling since 2005, but you never know!

Enforcement

Tony Sidaway undertakes to feel very sheepish if he breaks this voluntary restriction, and to state as much publicly. Then he allows that he may go and get so very drunk that he can remember the words to the Philosophers' Song, and in this inebriated state to sing the song to anybody still awake. As a penance, you understand.

I'll review that some time in the new year and let you know the verdict.
