Too much BS

This project has lost its focus and has become way too focused on beaucracy and petty bickering. We are too concerned with the letter of the law and not what is right. Everytime I turn around, there is some assinine debate over an issue that shouldn't exist. We waste too much time on issues that don't matter. I'm tired of it.---Balloonman 14:32, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't help when sensible voices leave :) You'll be missed and I hope you'll come back. --regentspark (comment) 14:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
I hope you enjoy your time away, and wait in hope for when you may decide to return one day. Regardless, I wish you well : ) - jc37 15:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

When I get cheesed off by what I perceive as petty disputes I do one or both of two things. 1) I take a look at WP:LAME. There's always something there that makes me feel better. 2) I think about stuff I've been involved in that has been productive. If you do reconsider, you'll make me smile. --Dweller (talk) 18:50, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Hope you return someday, your contributions to Misplaced Pages have been invaluable, Best of luck moving forward, you will be missed.▪◦▪≡SiREX≡ 23:32, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

If you are willing and able, I suggested that the Signpost conduct an "exit interview" with you.
