Dear visitor to my talk page; I'm seriously busy in real life at the moment. I'll still reply here, and will be on daily, but if you're after me for such things as Editor Review you may have to wait for more than a day or so. Sorry. |

Grudge
You seem to believe that I bear you some sort of grudge because of your opposition in my failed RfA. Nothing could be further from the truth. I made it plain to you what I thought of your intellectual dishonesty in refusing to accept that you had been mistaken in your POV accusation/opposition, and for me the matter was then closed. But apparently not for you.
If you continue to find yourself unable to conduct yourself as an administrator should, then I would suggest that you ought to seriously consider whether you are fit to be an administrator. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Malleus, you are welcome to take this to WP:RFC. I shall review your claim of "intellectual dishonesty". I bear you no ill will, but I am afraid that I am of the opinion that your failed RfA has soured your view of the administrative element of this project. To make it very clear at this stage I will not undergo re-confirmation via RfA but will abide by majority views at RfC. I am frankly bemused by your comments. Do you honestly think that my oppose at your RfA was the start of some kind of grudge??? A grudge is normally held against someone who has upset you - e.g. if you had opposed my RfA I might have a grudge against you (I don't of course for the sake of clarity as you did not). The grudge is entirely yours - not mine. You've done nothing to make me have a grudge against you. Please - let us work towards building Misplaced Pages and drop this. However, I will respect any RFC you bring. Pedro : Chat 23:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have no intention of bringing any RfC against you. But if you would stop abusing me, and start to believe that I may be expressing a reasonable pont of view, even if it is not the same as your own, then that may be a reasonable step forwards. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

- Of course. Malleus, let me put it bluntly to you. I have a wife and a child. I have another child due in August. I own my own business and am also a company director of another business; I also provide background support to other small three / four man employers local to me. I have precious little time to relax, but when I do I choose to edit Misplaced Pages as I enjoy it and it helps me chill out. I don't want conflict and I don't want stress (so WP is probably a bad place!!). I do, however, believe in this project. At heart I am a manager but typed words are very poor in terms of communication. I love WP for the freedom it brings me, and I don't want to see it spoilt. To be blunt; I stlll believe your failed RfA (which if you review it's failure was little to do with me and I have reviewed it again tonight) is your issue. I ask you to move on. I also ask you to remember that adminship is not a title - just some buttons on a website. I also extend my apologies for any upset, again, and ask you consider that people are people - I work hard for this project and I do it with the best intent. You work hard for this project with the best intent. We actually have a common aim. Pedro : Chat 00:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Do you really believe that you are the only person on this project to have a real life? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Do you really believe that the above comment is helpful? I'm trying to be lucid and honest to help you understand I do this in good faith. Pedro : Chat 00:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Pedro here: Malleus, you've changed quite a bit since your RfA. My only experience of you before was you failing a GAC of mine, but you were much happier, relaxed and you edited where you edited best: the encyclopedia. Now all I see is what I see as rather bitter comments towards, mostly, Misplaced Pages's administration structure. It's an area where you rarely went before (AFAIK, I never saw you there), and I agree with Pedro that it is surely because of your RfA failing. Please, just write some more excellent article, stop this ridiculous arguing, and useless discussion over nothing, and let us get on with things nicely (hand in hand preferably, but that's optional) Majorly (talk) 00:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Majorly. Malleus, we all want the best for Misplaced Pages. Let us move on from this meta discussion - please - towards our common goal. Thanks Pedro : Chat 00:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
RE: Food for thought
Hey Pedro! Thanks for the offer, I would be honored if you could coach me with regards to admin actions. There's still been some minor slip ups (although I contested a few of them hehe), but I honestly think I'm starting to get the hang of it. been attempting to get my "impulsions" under control while going to wiki talk areas and dropping comments/questions (also on WP:RFPP and WP:ANI. Any advice or help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Wisdom89 (T / ) 00:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Cool - I'm so busy at the weekends due to User:Son Of Pedro {above!) and my business but I'll set up a page and we can work towards it. Pedro : Chat 00:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

- Good stuff. I know you're an admin in the making and it's a pleasure to help. Man, that's my Narcissism done for tonight !! Pedro : Chat 00:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
