My vote at this point is not punishment, but rather an acknowledgement that Trusilver's scruples are not consistent with the expectations of an administrator, and that he is too principled to suppress his principles for the sake of retaining the bit."'' |

While I do occasionally write articles, I reserve my skills for what I'm good at: copyediting. I am happy to report that the League of Copyeditors has reduced the backlog of over 1500 articles in need of a copyedit down to a standing stack of under one hundred. I am both humbled and honored that a project I started has achieved such an outstanding feat. Every single member of the team has my gratitude, and for that matter so does anyone that clicks the "edit this page" button in the hopes of copyediting an article to bring it one step closer to Misplaced Pages's standards of excellence. |

In the rare instance I can be pulled away from the computer, I'm a pilot for a major airline. I'm on a semi-furlough right now which means I'm only working about five days out of the month, that gives me a huge amount of time for editing. I like it here because copyediting and being flamed by vandals is far less stressful than my job. |

It's hard to be upset about losing my administrator status for being '''too''' principled. The problem apparently is that I'm a completely unapologetic idealist. I would rather lose my bit for making decisions that are in the spirit of Misplaced Pages but against its rules than follow the rules when they fly directly in the face of the spirit of Misplaced Pages. The biggest quality that I look for in an administrator is integrity. When I was faced with the choice of surrendering the mop or my own integrity, I chose to surrender the mop. It wasn't a hard decision, really. |

My edits are not always perfect and are always made with the best intentions. If I made a mistake somewhere then I apologize and am happy to discuss it with you. If I copyedited your article and chopped it all to hell, I only ask that you take some time and consider the changes before you get upset about it. Likewise, when I patrol the recent changes I occasionally revert something as vandalism when it turns out not to be. I am only human and when I'm reverting a hundred incidents of vandalism a day, I occasionally make a change that was not warranted. |

Who am I? I'm one of the resident patsies of Misplaced Pages. I spend the majority of my time working with the Counter-Vandalism Unit. Every single day, Misplaced Pages is deluged by thousands of vandalism hits. The only thing that prevents the projects from deteriorating into an unusable mess is the group of people that fight every moment of every day to prevent that from happening. What do I do? I clean up all the graffiti off the walls so that the legitimate writers can do their work in peace without having to deal with it. '''I think it's important to note that I tend to get more recognition for removing "Fuck you" from an article than most content contributors get for promoting an article to FA status.

'''Concerning ]:''' I don't have a lot of tolerance for unblock requests that sit for days or weeks because nobody can muster up the balls to make a decision. There are remarkably few administrators that are willing to make tough decisions; it's far easier to pass on something and let someone else handle it than to make a difficult decision yourself. The problem is when EVERY administrator just sits on their collective asses waiting for someone else to do something. Misplaced Pages is run by volunteers, even someone who has been blocked. As such, any serious unblock request deserves respect, and should be acted on with respect. The breakdown in the system occurs when you have a dozen administrators, including the blocking admin, gathered around (pardon the imagery) with their thumbs up their asses because nobody wants to be the one to step forward and say "Sure, I'll do it... here's my conditions." |

'''Concerning deletionism/inclusionism:''' I refuse to attach a label to myself. I think that it is a foolish endeavor that divides us more than it identifies us. I find each extreme to be just as damaging as the other. However, I find that the integrity of the encyclopedia demands that there be more of a criteria for inclusion than just ]. We have guidelines for notability that have been agreed on by consensus and as such I have very little use for the kind of editor that feels that those guidelines don't apply to them or the articles that they have chosen to defend in AfD. Put fifteen Wikipedians in a room together and you will get sixteen distinct opinions on what is "encyclopedic", but that is what we have guidelines for. |

'''Concerning RfA:''' "Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." So said Churchhill, and I feel the same way about the RfA process. The process is ridiculous and cumbersome, not to mention a playground for all of the grudges and pissing matches that are more suited to the schoolyard. So sayeth Jimbo: adminship is ]. I don't treat it as such. My criteria for RfA is summarized ] |

'''Concerning Edit count, and all the little stupid things we worry too much about:''' I have a huge edit count. Big deal. I have a huge edit count because I spend all of my time reverting vandalism, and doing all of the little background tasks that allow people like ] or ] or even ] to not have to worry about such things while they are working on the encyclopedia. I consider myself a cog in the machine. Not a bigger or more important cog than any of the others, just one among many. Another thousand edits won't change that, another ten thousand won't change that. |
