+Sigh+..., so many people took that out of context i probably should have cleaned it up sooner. This isnt so much a case of people being too silly to see what was intended so much as it was a case of people seeing what they want to see. The bit cut off right at the end of the quote reads: ", and promoting willy nilly is just a bad idea." The comment was there because so very many people vote commenting "why not" (On a lot of things. Policies, Suggestions, Promotions...). The comment was there as part of a genteral and subtle attempt to put forward the question "why?" as equally important. Besides, that was such a minor part of my argument there that it didnt bear considering in the long run as a major point. The main thrust of my argument was that he was the wrong kind of person to be a sysop, and particularly ill suited (demonstrably so) to a particular subsection of administrative tasks which he subsequently said he would be focusing on. Anyhoo, as i said. The general concept behind that was that promoting people willy nilly is a bad idea, and that the voters should be examining a candidates fitness for a role, rather than their popularity (Popularity leads to votes saying "Why not"). Not sure if i managed to convey the concept as eloquently as i would have liked, but the general idea whould be apparent. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 01:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
