I thought about running, just for the fun of it, but Newyorkbrad talked me out of it.
It really amuses me that people are bitching about being asked lots of questions, and that there are people who are being "put off" from running because of all the questions being asked. It's as if they have no concept of what arbitrators are supposed to be doing, and merely see this as another quest that has to be completed in order to get yet another shiny badge. The MMORPG mentality continues to dominate Wikipedian thought.
The questions can be a challenge - the thought provoking bit was worthwhile though - as in
here where I copped a question from Pixelface with seresin querying a clarification. Given as both editors have fairly opposed views on inclusionism/deletionism, I was rather bemused. Turned out both opposed me anyway though (IMG:
