This is apparently my talk page. Feel free to leave comments, I'll keep them and possibly reply to them if they have been left in good faith. I do not debate trolls or engage in pointless heated discussions. Someday I might come around to spending more time with Misplaced Pages and create fancy user and talk pages

ANI

You beat me to it.

I read through the ANI thread, concluded they were missing an important piece of the puzzle, and ran off to compose a post. By the time I was done, you had already made the same point. Thanks.--SPhilbrickT 03:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Yours was much better though, I contemplated erasing mine but since it didn't spawn a discussion I just let it be. Troed (talk) 13:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

CRU Title Suggestion

Thanks for voting. My proposed title change removes the word "theft/hack/release" which seems to be a sticking point for some. Please forgive me if I offend, but I'm going to remove your comment from the vote thread. Nothing to do with your statement; I'm hoping to avoid a discussion in that space, and just get an up-or-down. I figure that if I (a "Climategate" title proposer) can propose something neutral enough yet still descriptive, we can slap it on and move on to the next issue without having to re-visit this within a day or two. Hah! Right. Nightmote (talk) 16:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Hah! You're fast! Nightmote (talk) 16:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

But apparently blind, it was my fault writing a lengthy comment after your no-comment request. Sorry 'bout that. Troed (talk) 16:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

(HUGE grin) We write. It's what we do. Getting us to *not* give a lengthy opinion is always a chore! Nightmote (talk) 17:52, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Climategatekeeper

Why is it you do not edit the article? Unanimity is not required for consensus. Paul Beardsell (talk) 10:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Last time I checked with regards to Jones email the article was still protected. After ChrisO deleted the paragraph I'm quite sure he won't hesitate to impose sanctions to anyone re-inserting the same piece even though there's a proper source which he ignored. I'm rather close on giving up on Misplaced Pages completely over this whole joke of a process. As Connolley put it, "the community" seems to be the admins. Not the editors. As you can see in my changelog, I'm not really a very active editor. I find an article every few months where I can contribute in some form in the article itself or at the talk page - I'm very happy with doing just that. I never foresaw the absolutely incredible bias and WP:BATTLE mentality that would be the result of stepping in at something "climate change" related. Troed (talk) 11:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
