Here's what's going to happen:

I'm taking AN, AN/I, RFAR and all other boards off my watchlist. I'm also taking all controversial BLPs off my watchlist as well as Jimbo's talk page.
I'll no longer be taking part in AfD discussions unless they relate to articles concerning Denmark, narrowly interpreted. I'll restrict myself to making one comment per AfD.
I'm withdrawing from all discussions related to economics, broadly interpreted.
I'll focus on articles related to higher education in Denmark as they are in a poor state and need improvement.

If, despite these efforts, you came here to complain about your POV not being sufficiently represented or to template me for vandalism when I'm enforcing policy please don't. It upsets me far more than it helps. Use the article talk page to state your opinion and I'll most likely just walk away from that article rather than bother to get into a fight with you. You don't need to create armies of sockpuppets to achieve that and you don't need to bait me on my talk page. A simple statement on the article talk page declaring your intentions will be enough. You may also read my essay here to understand why I probably won't be interested in a debate with you. Thanks.

DepartedUser4 is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

I have violated my own terms of engagement by watchlisting Jimbo's talk page. Since that just wasn't a good idea I'll take a small break from Misplaced Pages. I'll be back in time to cast my votes early, in other words in about a weeks time from today (November 20.) EconomicsGuy (talk) 11:46, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

ZOMG!

Thankyou for notifying me. Just FYI, it's usually considered good form to notify a closing admin of your objections before taking these things to DRV, I would have been quite happy to relist or have a neutral third party review the decision. In fact, the DRV instructions clearly state that "Deletion Review is to be used where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question. This should be attempted first – courteously invite the admin to take a second look". I'm not particularly upset about this, but I would recommend trying a friendly discussion first next time, it generally results in a whole lot less bother and mess for everyone, including you.
