[edit] Quick withdrawal statement
I had an inkling this wouldn't work regardless - i figured that the typical people would come out and oppose, and I had very few surprises through the first thirty or so. What I didn't expect was a repeat of the dishonesty that I received the first time around, and combine that with the fact that someone on Wikitruth decided to spoof my name is being held against me makes it fairly clear that I'm incapable of getting a fair hearing here, so I'm out. No need to distract myself from other, more important things at this point. Perhaps if I had kept going and been a little more aggressive about challenging the worst of it, I possibly could have made up the gap over the course of the week, but I'll pass, it's an effort I don't want to make for an outcome I had to talk myself into to begin with. Thanks for a lot of the surprising support, and I hope I can prove myself worthy to the honest opposition in the future. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- So you WP:SNOWed your own RFA? ... Cool, there might be hope for you yet. :) Cheers. --Gmaxwell 22:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- I most certainly did nothing of the sort. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- The key in the opposition here has been "slavish devotion to process," and that's a good thing because it isn't a character flaw but an unacceptable approach or perhaps just a failure of communication Find out why your behavior disturbs so many longtime, experienced Wikipedians who are as devoted to Wikipedia as you are, and the part your emphasis on process plays in this, and you'll be well on your way to gaining community trust. And you have already come a very long way in the past year. --Tony Sidaway 23:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- I know why my behavior irks people, and it's nothing I can change without compromising myself. So I can't offer my help as an administrator? Ultimately, it's not my loss. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, some of the best Wikipedians aren't administrators. :-D --Tony Sidaway 00:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
