== Rattlesnakes ==

I'm glad to see someone who has an understanding of rattlesnakes. I've come within close range of the critters on many occasion, by happenstance, and they've always seemed more scared of me than vice versa. I know, too, many friends who've also had very close encounters yet not one of us has ever been bitten. The people I know of, and have read about, who are bitten are those who try to pick up the snake. Pit vipers are not antagonistic towards people. It's likely that far more people have been killed by rodents, one way or another, than by snakes. -] 10:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

This is disgraceful.
This Arbcom decision means that Wikipedians are expected to be perfect - to never make mistakes. I have made mistakes in the past, as have most other editors. It is unconscionable that occasional, isolated lapses in editing judgment have been twisted into a justification for punishments that have no relation to the alleged offenses, and which even the other party to arbitration has called "completely over the top" and "utterly bonkers" .
This decision means that none of my actual contributions to the encyclopedia matter - only my mistakes do. It means that no one can petition ArbCom without fear of retaliation, since no one is perfect.
I will not be contributing to Misplaced Pages again in the forseeable future.

Rattlesnakes

I'm glad to see someone who has an understanding of rattlesnakes. I've come within close range of the critters on many occasion, by happenstance, and they've always seemed more scared of me than vice versa. I know, too, many friends who've also had very close encounters yet not one of us has ever been bitten. The people I know of, and have read about, who are bitten are those who try to pick up the snake. Pit vipers are not antagonistic towards people. It's likely that far more people have been killed by rodents, one way or another, than by snakes. -Will Beback 10:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
