RE: Excuse me good sir,
I'll think about it (take that as an almost definite yes with a hint of procrastination). You have definitely been a great asset to the wiki recently. Imrlybord7 02:12, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thats it.
You get me banned, and accuse me for spamming?! A note : I wouldn't be saying this right now, because if a user is blocked on an IP and another person uses that IP shortly after, he is blocked for 1 day, so that proves it isn't me, so I believe you owe me an apology, and CodExpert an apology. I DEMAND an apology. --TheManOfIron 02:40, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I believe you should apologize to TMOI, and I will get TMOI to apologize to you also for what he posted above. 03:01, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE: TMOI *sigh* Again
To me, it came across as more of a controlled detonation than an all-out explosion. I could tell that you probably were quite able to take it to another level, and while you were already harsh at times, you kept it at blunt and true and below enraged. 05:36, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

My condolences
Hey, sorry if I'm a little late but I was away and busy so I only heard about it today. But I'm really sorry about your friends. It must have felt terrible in the aftermath of it. I promise to pray for you. (My dad is a pastor, so yeah.)

Loss
I'm sorry for your loss. However, when people started being a dick to you online, you should've just shut the pc down and done something else, instead of taking it seriously, arguing back and getting weepy over it. Loosing a friend isn't easy at all, but sitting there and taking it from trolls isn't a wise thing to do. Remember that with the internet, you can stop the convo as soon as you want.

 * What happened to you sucks, but making an overdramatic blog post about it won't help anyone, considering that what happens to you isn't common. Darkman 4 04:13, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

your loss
i'm sorry about what happened to your friends. TMOI is always like that, just ignore him. he does it to me too. your story of what happened really touched me so i felt obligated to help. if you need someone to talk to or something i will. regards, Nick42294 04:13, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I know I can't really say I know how you feel but I've lost family before, so I sort of do, if you ever need to talk, I'm not on much anymore but I can listen. bflet12@yahoo.com Darthkenobi0(talk) 04:58, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

A plea
Listen, I'm going to be blunt in a sensitive way. I know you must be feeling like shit. I'd bet my dog on it. I really have no idea what emotional crap you're experiencing right now. But closing off your feelings wont help. We (the community) like you, you are a funny, sociable editor, and we would hate to lose you. Remember, dont let the trolls win. If someone is making you feel like shit, tell someone. We are here to support and help you. Thank you.

Re:
Remember, blocking a user is something that is up to the admins, since it is a tool that only administrators can use. As for now, the admins agree that TMOI's block is fine as it is. -- 23:43, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

The community can report users who are violating any policies and are subject to a block, but they can not block other users. Administrators can block users, and it should be their decision to block one. If we were to let all of the community choose how long a block should be users can easily get a user blocked because of what they think of them instead of the actual offense. Admins are trusted users, and therefore since they are trusted enough to handle the tools that an admin has, blocking should be their decision. -- 23:57, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

It was deleted because it was used mostly for being a dick. It's a stupid template in the first place and it was inevitable that it was going to be spammed.

RE: Opinion
I've voted in almost all of them. StB and Sactage will become administrators (yay) and Rambo will not (also yay). Imrlybord7 01:51, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am more than confident in Sactage's ability to carry out administrative duties. Imrlybord7 02:01, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pardon my French, but that's rather stupid. If you think a candidate would make a good admin, you should support their bid for adminship. I mean, would you have honestly voted Oppose for, say, Bovell? Imrlybord7 03:23, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would have loved to see you try. In any case, you can still point out a candidate's flaws in a support vote, so your argument is invalid. I hate to talk down to you as you are easily one of my preferred wikians, but your outlook on the RfA process totally undermines their seriousness. If you don't change the attitude that you will always vote oppose, I'm not really comfortable with you being able to vote in RfAs. Imrlybord7 17:13, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are two major problems with that logic. The first is that each vote counts. By casting a vote you don't really believe in you are polluting the process. That's a bottom line thing that you really can't argue. The second is that you are assuming that people posting RfAs (such as every admin who ever nominated himself, i.e. most of them) are so simple-minded that they would have delusions of perfection from a support blowout or would be less likely to take criticism seriously just because it is in a support or neutral vote. Imrlybord7 01:29, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * By all means, it should be thrown out there. I'm simply saying that if you feel that a candidate would make a good administrator, you should vote support. And as for the subconscious thing, I feel like you are strongly underestimating the maturity levels of potential administrators. Or perhaps you yourself are not mature enough to understand that there are people who are capable of seeing past the support/oppose and reading what the voter really has to say. And no, I don't honestly believe that you are too immature to properly conceptualize such a thing, but I suppose it is possible. Imrlybord7 06:21, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Serious admin conflicts are extremely rare and there are no perfect users. Every single user has faults. That is a fact that should be very obvious to everyone, given that we are all human. People do not become administrators because they are perfect. They become administrators because they have earned the trust of the community in some way. When you agreed with me that Sactage would make a good admin but voted oppose, I was quite confused. Then you said you would always oppose any bid for adminship. Hence this entire argument. You are putting a hell of a lot of words in my mouth and not really making much sense here. At no point in time have I even attempted to dispute that each candidate's every flaw should be pointed out during an RfA. The one and only point I have been trying to make here is that, and I quote, "if you feel that a candidate would make a good administrator, you should vote support." The whole reason I struck up this conversation was because you responded to my vote of confidence in Sactage by saying, "As am I. I will never vote Support on any RfA, that's just how I am. People need to see and consider the faults of the candidate before they make their final decision, eh?" I based all of my arguments off of combating that one message. Literally no part of that message made sense. You clearly stated that you felt he would be a good administrator, yet you voted oppose. You then said that you would never support any RfA, yet there are obviously users who are not yet admins who would make good ones, which is a statement that I know you agree with to at least some extent. And then there was the whole faults thing, but that's just because you have an utterly ridiculous notion about needing to vote oppose just to get your point across. So, anyway, just what are my goals in arguing all of this? 1. I think you should change your vote on Sac's RfA to support. Normally I would never try to get someone to change their vote, but you explicitly stated that you had confidence in his ability to administrate the wiki. 2. I think you should retract the statement that you would never support any RfA, which you sort of already did. Also, for the record, I am not at all angry or hostile about this, simply flabbergasted. Imrlybord7 12:17, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Umm... Aside from the odd wee grumble there's never any administerial fallouts, why you'd use that to base the opinion that there'd be too many administrators is beyond me. For the record, more administrators means more patrolling, which means less vandalism stays out there for a longer period. I could understand if you based this on timezones, saying that maybe we'd need more admins in another timezone, but carpet bombing RfAs because you think there are already too many is absurd. By suggesting that you will never use the template for this reason just shows immaturity, and opposing for that reason never stands out well in the community; generally it's just perceived as opposing for opposing's sake.
