I can't find the thread that all these were being discussed in, so if a mod can please move it, that'd be great. Thanks. So Gazimoff (T-C-L-K-R-D)
was the admin who created WP:RREV, the full scale analysis of RFA following RFA/DHMO 3. I believe it was a greatly needed review and I looked forward to the results and possible revamping of the process. Unfortunately, Durova got involved, spouted off her opinion, which basically fell under WP:CHIPSLAW, and it all went downhill from there. Thanks, Durova. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif) Of all the pointless discussion going on around the project that you love to needlessly interject yourself in, it's THIS, which actually served a purpose, that you decided needed to be shutdown? Someone file this as an example of her grand lack of self-awareness. Anyway, he was also an ArbCom clerk, but has now resigned and retired as seen here.

It would struggle on with one less Majorly, too, but what's your point? The question is: what's your point? People retire everyday, so what? PS. Did you snigger to yourself thinking up that hilarious retort? I certainly did. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif) I don't know what snigger means (and it's not pretty, so I'll stick to whatever is analogous), but I didn't find my retort hilarious. I was being serious. My point, dearest Maj o rly?, is partly summed up in your later post: QUOTE(Alex @ Mon 23rd March 2009, 6:38pm) I think Wikipedia could work and be brilliant if just a few small things were changed. Those small things will never happen, unfortunately.
That's the point, troubled child. Wikipedia needs to make a few changes, but those changes will never happen. At least not until change is forced upon it. That is why it matters when big name admins retire. Admins that are also ArbCom clerks, for example. In that this has to be explained to you, you clearly don't check in on WR enough; or you're not reading the right threads. To be fair, not all admin losses matter. Of that you can be sure. Your own, for example, was much needed. Of course, considering all the months I fought to yank you down from your administrative pedestal, I'm sure it's clear to everyone where I stand on you and adminship, yet you believe you never abused anything. Right... well, whatever makes you feel better about it. If you want to stop editing Wikipedia, Majorly, and I think you should, how about you just quit? Here's a good way to do it: Drop a long spiel on your talk page, so that you look like a bigger dumbass than usual if you return, and have all your shit protected. Synergy will swing by and stick his nose in your shit as he so loves to do, but not until a few weeks later, and by then... you just don't care about editing anymore. Trust me. It's not just an addiction. It's a habit. And for you it's a bad habit. Bad habits can be broken, though. They say something becomes a habit once you do it ten times. Women who take birth control pills may want to fact tag that, but that's what they say. Anyway, it sort of works the other way, too. Stop doing something for a while, and pretty soon, that habit is gone. If you really love Wikipedia, Majorly, then you'll let it go.

Does hurting other people make you feel warm inside? Is it possible for you to talk to me without being so nasty about it? Why do you hate me so much?

Do you get cheap thrills from attacking me? Does hurting other people make you feel warm inside? Is it possible for you to talk to me without being so nasty about it? Why do you hate me so much? I hate to see two people I like go at it this way, and you know I think highly of both of you for your good qualities. Could you guys maybe try to see the good side of each other a bit more? Truth is, you're both right about a lot of very important things, like how addictive WP can be, and how it can tend to foster bad behaviours, and how some of the less fun powergame stuff is... well... less fun. Maybe focus on that, and what good qualities each of you have and know that the other has, instead of focusing on the bad? Majorly... that means you maybe should try to develop a thicker skin and just let stuff flow on by. People get your goat way easy... because you let them. Lara... that means you maybe should try to pick on harder targets... someone almost as tough as you is more challenging than Majorly, as they are harder to get a rise out of, don't you think? You both can tell me to go soak my head now I guess... probably I will have annoyed both of you by posting this. Oh well, sorry. With all the real problems out there that urgently need attention, I hate to see good people like you two, who are on the same side, fight.

It sounds a bit wanky only because he forgot to add a final one-sentence "killer" paragraph such as : "And, remember, respect your parents, say your prayers, and always brush your teeth before going to bed".
