It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

  1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
  2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
  3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
  4. There is no Rule 4.
  5. Don't post when drunk. Seriously.
  6. All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is considered public, at my discretion. Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
  7. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
  8. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
  9. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
  10. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
  11. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.
Thank you. -- The Management.



RIP Calton Bolick (1961-2022)

[edit]

I regret to inform the Wikipedia community that Calton Bolick has passed away, Friday evening Japan time, after a short illness. I've known Cal online for more than 30 years; he was always a fascinating and complicated intellect, sometimes a bit pointy on the edges, but always honest and direct in the pursuit of truth. I'll miss him. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 04:42, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
