1. A vote to limit an individual's rights is
tyrannous.
I reserve the right to kill this thread.

Its an open vote, on an open thing-- a username. For
each situation either a consensus be the rule or a
Jimbo dictate be the rule-- Im sure JW has better
things to do.
I have more faith in the wiki process than in some
of its users.
"*My wikifaith is stronger than *yours" -- no its not
about that-- Wikifaith is about understanding that if
you whether you think your fellow humans are a glass
half-empty or half-full-- this sentiment will show up
in how you deal with things on wiki. Wiki is just a
medium for interaction-- its not a destination.
The vote was a farce.
No, it wasnt. Sorry. Youre wrong.
Wrong, I say.
Yes, there are exceptions.
Um, yeah. Thats the point. Do we treat people
consistently or "exception"ally.
Yes, and that reflection goes farther than
Wikipedia. We've lost the
skill of discussing our problems with our neighbors;
we're afraid of the
reaction that we might get from a direct approach.
"You've lost... that lovin' feelin'...
Who-oh, that lo-vin feelin.'
You've lost thAT LO-VIN FEE-LIN--
NOW ITS GONE, Gone, gone...
Wo-o-o-o..."
