| Its time for me to retire this account. Its been an absolutely wonderful experience, and I've learned a great deal from an assortment of intelligent people, but I have several ideas that I want to develop into books, which I'll never get around to if I spend my free time editing Misplaced Pages. To quote ], "It isn't to do with animosity or anything like that. It's just ... I've been there, I've done it." Thanks to all the encouraging editors who helped me become a better writer. I'll now apply the skills that I've learned here to my own end. Kudos to those who defend the project; its certainly a worthwhile cause, and we should be proud of our contributions to its development. ] <sup>(]|])</sup> 00:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC) | |||

Some of the diffs you posted are great, but others are marginal. Think quality rather than quantity. Odds are no action is going to be taken. While I'm fairly sure Jimbo still holds the right to personally desysop someone it's extremely unlikely that he will. Jimbo asked him to ''voluntarily'' step down. That's only going to happen if community consensus supports it, and posting every piece of evidence you can find of instances where his behavior was less-than-stellar will likely sway the community in the other direction.

| ::::To not be concerned with your detractors is one thing; to give them fodder is something else. I think Jimbo's response made it clear that he was aghast. My point is you've proven your case. Telling you to "grow the fuck up" was as unacceptable as it gets; you got Jimbo himself to publicly censure him for it. You have little to gain by digging up a plethora of lesser infractions. In such cases, sentiment can easily turn. The sad fact is-as I already noted-it's extremely unlikely he's actually going to be desysoped. It is, by design, very, very hard to get someone's adminship removed. Even if he isn't desysoped this time, should he continue the same behavior in the future, this incident along with Jimbo's reprimand would go a long way in a potential Arbcom case. But if you continue to dig up every misdeed no matter how small, this whole thing could go the other way. You risk making him look like the oppressed rather than the oppressor. If there's one thing Misplaced Pages is not, it's quick. I know you want action now-so do I. But it's unlikely to happen right now. As hard as it is, the best thing to do is be paitent. Others weighed in about his misconduct too. The best thing to do-for now-is to take a step back and see how it plays out. ] (]) 03:38, 22 July 2012 (UTC) | |||

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.Its time for me to retire this account. Its been an absolutely wonderful experience, and I've learned a great deal from an assortment of intelligent people, but I have several ideas that I want to develop into books, which I'll never get around to if I spend my free time editing Misplaced Pages. To quote David Gilmour, "It isn't to do with animosity or anything like that. It's just ... I've been there, I've done it." Thanks to all the encouraging editors who helped me become a better writer. I'll now apply the skills that I've learned here to my own end. Kudos to those who defend the project; its certainly a worthwhile cause, and we should be proud of our contributions to its development. GabeMc 00:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
