Thanks for the concern

The trouble is I didn't really give up, Wikipedia gave up on me - with the God complex that most people get when working on the Net, that isn't to say there aren't decent admins or editors on here. But there is a large majority who work on here or take their jobs far too seriously that believe all their work must amass some form of respect and recognition, and allow them to have more power over what is what. So basically you get a bunch of wannabe academics arguing against a true academic or professor or researcher who has dedicated their life to a particular subject and in truth what happens? The wannabe worthless editors get their ways because they seem to work in numbers i.e. bullying and also whine to any admin where they can to get their support. It is rather foul in my opinion and I'd rather have nothing to do with this project because of the lack of structure and regulations imposed by admins.

I ask you, why does any old person have the right to vode on an AfD? Do they have any knowledge or justification in voting for a Keep or Delete unless they have previous knowledge or if if the subject is of their expertise? I think not... but it seems the rules here are bent so far they allow this madness. Sure we can allow for generalised articles to slip through but there is a method to this madness to which I do not agree with being that it goes against my philosophy. I may be crude but at least I'm real.

However, thanks for your kind words they did not go unoticed Piecraft 12:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
