BASEBALLS BUGS IS AN UGLY IGNORANT FOOL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.49.166.166 (talk) 23:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

You're stupid. Mayallld (talk) 01:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Administrator?

For those who may be under the false impression that I'm an admin, I invite you to visit Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Baseball Bugs and witness the carnage. Baseball Bugs 16:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

CAUTION

Before you file any complaints here, be aware that I have an evil twin/roommate/friend who sometimes posts under my login.

This evil twin/roommate/friend also happens to be invisible and wears very soft shoes, so you never know when he/she/it/they will strike.

In fact, for all you know, I might be that evil twin/roommate/friend right now. >:) Baseball Bugs 12:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Pics

FWIW, I've also got Cy Young pitching and hot dog sales outside Ebbets Field. Would take me a while to get to by myself, but if you know other baseball fans who have Photoshop (or a willingness to install and learn GIMP which is free), send them my way and I'll get them going. Have you folks ever thought of doing a featured portal drive for the baseball portal?

Best wishes, Durova 06:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

The glassworkers belong in a discussion of baserunning and stealing. The guy with the rifle suggests a whole new meaning for "getting picked off on first". PhGustaf (talk) 06:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Yup! Anyway, I'd like to see those other pictures mentioned. Baseball Bugs 06:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Mohammad

Please do not erase legitimate questions from the Mohammad talk page - no matter how incredibly redundant. Either ignore them, or paste the relevant link. The archive-bot will do its thing in time. Rklawton (talk) 14:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

AGF. The answer is part of our style manual. A link to the relevant section is not too much to ask. Rklawton (talk) 15:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Would you mind then leaving the trolls to me? Rklawton (talk) 15:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

The term 'negro'

I was clearly wrong about what I said, but I don't appreciate being made to look that I'm intentionally trying to mislead people. That is not the case. I have replied to everyone on the ANI thread, my user talk and CadenS user talk. Thanks. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 19:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Excellent. Baseball Bugs 20:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

commented at that thread. I honestly didn't realize that - <* sigh *> sometimes it's so hard to keep up with what is right and wrong in this day and age. and while I'm here - "Hey Bugs".. How you doin these days? ;) — Ched ~ 03:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I bin sick. :( Baseball Bugs 18:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit Warring avoidance

Ok, there's some "ahem" individual who seems to feel concensus doesn't apply to them. They have made three edits that have been reverted by myself and another person. My question, how do we get this person to the talk page, and also, if I reverted his last two edits (he made a mistake w/the first edit that he fixed with a second) is it one or two reverts (if I reverted again would I hit the 3 revert limit?) Soxwon (talk) 03:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

If you need to ask the question, you know the answer is how it works. Collect (talk) 03:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to look into whatever y'all might be talking about. :) Baseball Bugs 06:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

It's Drudge again, though at this point I'm ready to say the hell with the article. Soxwon (talk) 19:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Bias, contridictions and abuse of power

Wow i found it amazing you would defend whoever ended up blocking me for removing something that was sourced by youtube, giving the poster the benefit of doubt (pending the original DVD as a source, which is still NOT here) yet did nothing when they vandalized my argument that had a youtube vid, even though the start of the film had a NASA SIGNED document.

i know, IGNORE it and or distort what im saying and no doubt bias admins abuse power. you can find a reason get me blocked again. if all else fails, make me take it to the talk page and use the apeal to popular opinion fallacy. i dont know moon landing has evidence for/against it, though more against it, but its not a major issue. forget this, no wonder wikipedia is a joke. bye Sfvace (talk) 07:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

You would have to refresh my memory on whatever it is you're talking about. Baseball Bugs 08:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Harry Morgan / 3RR

Here's your warning. Stop the edit warring. Jauerback/_dude. 17:06, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I have not violated 3RR. The guy who tried to trap me into a 3RR was someone I had twice successfully reported for offensive user IDs. Baseball Bugs 17:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I never said you violated 3RR, however, I was warning you because it looked like you were well on your way. It was just a courtesy warning so you wouldn't get blocked. I don't have an opinion about the information you were trying to add. Jauerback/_dude. 21:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Drudge

I'm sick of this, where do I ask for it to be locked until we can sort this out and stop everyone sticking in their edits the moment they think they may or may not have consensus? Soxwon (talk) 17:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, little angry there (lol). I've filed for it to get full-protection, I'm sick of this edit war and want to force these ppl to discuss this thing and stop doing drive-by editing. Soxwon (talk) 17:25, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

On a more bright note, how many bartenders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A "bright" note? I'm afraid to ask. :) Baseball Bugs 18:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

11, 1 to hold in the lightbulb, and ten to make the bar spin :). Soxwon (talk) 18:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes! A variation on the original Polish/Norwegian/Blonde, etc. joke. OK, now this one... How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? Baseball Bugs 18:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Depends on how many opinions you want, idk. Soxwon (talk) 18:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Good try. The answer is, "Only one, but it has to want to change." Baseball Bugs 18:52, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

That's good, last one: How many teamsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Soxwon (talk) 18:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

None, because they went on strike? Baseball Bugs 18:59, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

5, you got a problem with that? Soxwon (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

No siree, Mr. Hoffa, no problem at all. Hey, there's mud on the pavement. May I be a carpet for you? 0:) Baseball Bugs 19:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) Slightly off-topic, but I was noticed the Plaxicoed link led to his article, did you mean for it to go here: ? Soxwon (talk) 19:59, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm... What's the original link you're referring to? Could be someone's idea of a joke. Baseball Bugs 20:21, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

At the top of the page under useful warnings. (Even more off topic, how long does it take for a lock request to get processed? Mine's going on 3 hours now and I've seen 3 others been reviewed). Soxwon (talk) 20:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I think at the time I added that item, that sub-section is where the discussion was. The Plaxico page has been revised since then. Thanks for noticing. I can't account for how long or short it takes admins to respond. My guess would be they do "easier" stuff first, at least that's my experience sometimes at WP:AIV. Baseball Bugs 20:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Muchas gracias. I hope I'm not annoying you with my newby questions. Soxwon (talk) 20:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

No hay problema. :) Baseball Bugs 07:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

ANI

Hi :-) Could I just make a completely nonpartisan point, which I hope you won't take the wrong way... You clearly feel strongly about the inclusion of articles until they have time to mature. But I kind of take offence at being referred to as "lazy" and "deletion-happy". Would it be possible for you to argue your case without resorting to perjorative terms towards individual editors (yeah, me, really!) - it's a broad policy/philosophical, almost, concept that's being discussed, and I'd rather that I wasn't called names.

Thanks! ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 20:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

5 minutes adds up to "deletion happy". And it's not you in particular. Baseball Bugs 20:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

That's precisely my point - what you're talking about, and what is currently under discussion, is the Misplaced Pages-wide issue. But the thread, and the examples being used, refer to me specifically. I understand your viewpoint, and can see where you're coming from, and I'm not asking for an apology or for you to strike anything out... I'd just be happier if you could hold back the nouns, the names, the terms for and about (the) editors. Would that be possible? ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 20:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe. First tell me what rule requires that an article be finished the moment it's posted. Baseball Bugs 20:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry that you're not prepared to co-operate and refrain from doing something which I have politely suggested insults me. In the interests of not wasting everyone's time, I won't take this any further, but please remember that I will always appreciate you not referring to me perjoratively. ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 20:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Why won't you answer my question? Baseball Bugs 20:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, because you are not showing me any grace. I have made the perfectly reasonable request that you hold back from unpleasant comments about editors, and explained that it is because (while I understand your points) they refer to me by association, even though you may not mean this.

You are not showing an inclination to honour that reasonable request, and that gives me little incentive to consider yours. As I said, I'm sorry, and I'm always open to you agreeing to stick to commenting on edits not editors, in future. ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 20:59, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Where were you a year ago, when a spammer was promoting his own privately issued CD on Superman music, and when I voiced complaints about that blatant self-promotion, I was shouted down for it on the ANI page itself? Where are you deletionists when we need you? Huh? Huh? Huh? Baseball Bugs 21:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, come on BB. S/he can't be everywhere (especially in the past). Give her/him a slack and look at his/her comment at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Them Terribles and think about my comment below his/her's. Don't be so "hard minded" if I may say so.--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 22:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

You may say whatever you like. I'm hard-minded enough that it won't stick. Baseball Bugs 22:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

As long as you "won't stick" to your "hard mind" as super glue there is nothing more I need to ask you for. Regards, --The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

il garbagio

What had happened was that I was trying to edit a particular section using a template. Unfortunately, the template didn't work, because it just wiped out the section, rather than preserve it from automatic archiving, which was what I was trying to do. So I undid my revision, and by doing so, I unknowingly restored the offending edit. --Whip it! 02:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of garbage, I also reverted this. --Whip it! 02:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Didn't they read that part on your userpage about being an admin? Soxwon (talk) 06:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

There's no evidence that they read anything hear. They just fire away. Baseball Bugs 06:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't read anything I hear either Bugs. In fact, most people don't. Soxwon (talk) 06:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Oops, that was supposed be "no evidence they read anything here." But your answer works too. :) Baseball Bugs 06:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I read that as the invisible comma "...no evidence that they read anything, hear" as if the words "sonny boy" were also appended. Boy, my mind is terrible at proofreading. :) Protonk (talk) 07:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah my conservative brethern, makes me so proud I want to tell them all to get a life and go out into the sunlight (though they'd probably die, Dick Cheney's the only vampire I've ever seen survive direct sunlight). Soxwon (talk) 05:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

They're not conservatives, they're just morons. Baseball Bugs 05:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Lol, and as we all know, morons abound on all parts of the political spectrum. Soxwon (talk) 05:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll sleep on it. :) Baseball Bugs 06:31, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Kudos, BB. It's a badge of honor. If only they were funny -- Free Republic's signal defect is a lack of humor (see this absurd thread on my talk page -- that's what I get for trying to point our our copyright policy). I remember getting "freeped" back in 2005 because I deleted some bullshit rant a "freeper" left in the article space. I don't suppose anything like number 43 ever occurred to them. Would a gang of people as absolutely identical to each other in world view as they are ever get together to build something open to all and fundamentally inclusive? Sometimes you just have to laugh... Antandrus (talk) 14:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Number 43, another excellent point. I have a new name for them now - mushrooms. Baseball Bugs 14:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sleeping

Man, I need to stop sleeping. It's when I am sleeping that all the good stuff happens! This is just craziness!! Brothejr (talk) 11:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

If you stop sleeping altogether, you won't even need wikipedia - the hallucinations will come naturally. :) Baseball Bugs 12:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Dude...

Check out the last post on the Drudge Talk. Drudge mentioned the whitewashing controversy that those Free Republic/WND users were vandalizing your page for. It's on the front page of the Drudge Report (your famous Bugs)! Soxwon (talk) 14:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The link in question. BTW they kind of have a point. Padillah (talk) 15:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Antandrus suggested we should have done nothing - let them run rampant for a day or so until they get bored. Next time that's what we should probably do. Baseball Bugs 15:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I think it should be mentioned (after all there's an entire article on it apparently, a link would be fine). Soxwon (talk) 16:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

They want a foot in the door to give legitimacy to their cockamamie theories. Baseball Bugs 16:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, is it possible to stick it in w/o inserting said theories? I'd take a whack at it. Soxwon (talk) 16:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not touching it. Bring it up on the Obama talk page. Baseball Bugs 16:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I can see why you didn't touch it, geez. On a brighter note, good luck with the RfA. Soxwon (talk) 04:15, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the curt response earlier today. By then I was about fried from all the Obama stuff and was ready to pack it in. Baseball Bugs 04:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

No worries, I've got the same feeling. Is it possible to garrot someone over the net? Soxwon (talk) 04:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't deal with garrots, only with carrots. Of course, one can choke on a carrot. >:) Baseball Bugs 04:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Or one could be allergic like Mel Blanc. O_o Seriously though, that would be awesome to be able to hit a key and sit back satisfied in the knowledge that you've done your part to cleanse the gene pool. Soxwon (talk) 04:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I guess their only chance would be to hit the Escape key in time. Baseball Bugs 04:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

*Rimshot* Did you need a drummer? Soxwon (talk) 04:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I used to have a band, but it disbanded. Baseball Bugs 04:27, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

*Rimshot* I'll take that as "Neeeh, could be" Soxwon (talk) 04:29, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Duh, yup. It was ill-fated from the get-go, when we decided to call it "Dis Band". Baseball Bugs 04:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Did your amps go to 11? Soxwon (talk) 16:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Now you're asking technical questions, as if I were actually telling the truth about that band. Now I'm feeling like Kevin Costner when he asked his fellow farmers, "What's a crop?" Baseball Bugs 16:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually I was making a reference to Spinal Tap...Soxwon (talk) 16:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to catch that movie sometime. I'm guessing that amps going to 11 equates to the needle going off the scale. Like when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier and jokingly told the ground there was something wrong with his machmeter. Baseball Bugs 16:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually it's a humorous and illogical discussion that goes on about amps are supposed to go 10 "Well this one goes to 11." Also, the drummer keeps dying, hence the reason I asked before becoming yours :P. Soxwon (talk) 16:18, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Aha! It's good to know I'm not the only one attuned to obscure humor. :) Drummers have had some issues in the past. Keith Moon, for example. As far as I know, no one has ever died from coming to this page. Some have been indef'd, but that's not necessarily the same thing. Since I'm accused of marching to a different drummer, there's no reason you couldn't be that drummer. And I could be the fife. Baseball Bugs 16:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

What guideline am I thinking of?

Today, on this round of "What guideline is it?"... There's a guideline that says not to post things that change with relative frequency (sales figures, things like that)... So, what guideline is it? Padillah (talk) 15:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea. Probably the "not news" guideline, or someone's spin on it. Baseball Bugs 15:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Just a thought but since everyone thinks you're an admin anyway, would you accept a nomination? Am I loosin' it or have we done this already? I seem to remember you said there are people that would guarantee your RfA to fail... I think that sucks as a reason to keep you away. Padillah (talk) 18:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

You could try if you want. It might be interesting. And if someone shoots it down, well, I didn't ask for the nomination anyway, so no great loss. Just don't take away my rollback. :) Baseball Bugs 18:49, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

(ec) I think you'd get plenty of support. Put on your asbestos coat though; you don't shy away from conflict zones, and that has an inherent risk associated for anyone trying an RFA, especially one who has been an editor as long as you. People are surprisingly nasty and bad-faith-full at RFA these days. (Being an administrator is grossly over-rated, but that's just my opinion -- if you're a regular editor, it's much easier to be wrong once in a while, and people readily forgive you -- not so if you're an admin). Antandrus (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Which is why I am totally prepared for, and OK with, rejection - just don't take my rollback away! Baseball Bugs 19:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe WP:RECENT? It's not exactly what you are looking for but seems to have some of the same focus. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I can absolutly use it. It's not quite what I thought I remembered though. I swear I saw a guideline or policy that said not to post things like "most popular videogame" because the sales figures will change and we'll have to keep re-editing it. Well, I'll see what comes of this, thanks. Padillah (talk) 19:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

It's best to avoid "peacock" terms anyway. "Most popular" or "best" or whatever is endless POV battleground. Like when someone was trying to say the Beatles were the "best ever". That was settled by saying "among the best", because that's easily verified. Closer to home, it's like trying to argue whether Cobb or Ruth was greater. You can cite polls that say such-and-such, but you can't overtly say so-and-so was the best ever, just "one of the best". With those two, it's apples and oranges - both tremendous impact players, great stars, great drawing cards, but different styles of play - though not as different as popular legend has it. Baseball Bugs 19:31, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't mean to be coy. I'm trying to get the "Best selling game" crap off of the PlayStation 3 page. It's just going to keep changing and there's never going to be an end to it. Padillah (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I recommend you take it to WP:ANI and get some different opinions. It's theoretically a content dispute, but what you're wanting is advice on how to handle the content dispute, which would seem to be an admin area. Baseball Bugs 20:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

re: RfA I'll withhold my Support until you either accept or decline the nom Bugs. I strongly suspect that we would/will not agree on a number of issues, but then again, I'm never quite sure how to take some of your comments - you do have a sarcastic touch when you want to. I'm probably a bit more conservative than many of your supporters, but either way - I think you would make a fine admin. (and I won't nom a repeal of your rollback, if you don't flush mine .. lol) — Ched ~ 20:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments. Your politics don't worry me. I have a big tent here. :) Baseball Bugs 20:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Meh, he has some conservative supporters lol. I was 10/7.50 on the Political Compass test (economic/political). Soxwon (talk) 20:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

@Soxwon well, Bugs remembers (or looks up in history books) a lot of things I remember growing up - that's good enough for me ;) — Ched ~ 20:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I have said before you ought to be an admin! (Although I can't find in your archives). You'll probably one of the very few admins out there who keeps a sense of humor when dealing with crap that would normally set off any other admin. Especially last night on Talk:Barack Obama and 64.53.138.18. Ironically, it's his cheeky comment about you being an admin that probably gave Padillah the idea to nominate you, so it would be great karma and would probably teach users like him to be careful for what they wish for! --Whip it! 22:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of Obama, that place is nuts right now. Soxwon (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

<* Ched slams on the brakes, and does a 180 in order to avoid that article at the moment *> I noticed a few posts at AN and Help Desk, thought something might be up 0:-) — Ched ~ 22:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Right now I think it's under control as far as what's going to be added. We're just waiting for the spammers to get bored. Soxwon (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

←It's fully protected for a bit - nothing anyone can do now (other than admins), besides argue on the talk page. — Ched ~ 22:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Trust me I know, I've been deleting vandalism on the talk page for an hour while trying to show this guy what an idiot he is. Soxwon (talk) 22:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

re: RfA (revisited). Getting back to the real issue, I'll be adding my support when/if you accept the nom... which I gather you do by placing {{helpme}} on someone's talk page... but I digress. I've watchlisted the RfA. Good luck! Cheers, This flag once was red_deeds 22:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Pleased to see you running for adminship. :) Acalamari 00:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

My Oppose is reluctant. I actually appreciate your humor and insight. Most often you are helpful and forward the discussion. It's just those few times when you get lost in the joke and the talk spins out of control and off topic. As an Admin, you should assist rather than hinder. And, sarcasm rarely works in RL. I know. I have to control my own "court jester tendancies" and sarcasm!...Go Cubs! also, summaries make Wiki-life so much easier. Good Luck--Buster7 (talk) 12:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

It's fine either way. :) Baseball Bugs 13:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

RfA

Bugs .. you should probably type in the "I accept" at the top. I assume since you've answered a few questions that you've decided to give it a go. Also, I posted links to an edit summary tools on the page - since the regular toolserver accounts appear to be having difficulty. Good Luck by the way — Ched ~ 21:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Done. I posted a few answers over the noon hour. Since then I've added more, and each one is getting longer. My strategy is to bore the readers so much that they'll nod off and hit the "OK" button in their sleep. Baseball Bugs 23:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

You might want to remove the userbox you have saying that you don't want to be an admin.--Giants27 /C 23:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you see anything in the RfA that says I "want" to be an admin? :) Baseball Bugs 23:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I would have to go with the essays you wrote for questions 3 and 4. ;)--Giants27 /C 23:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

@ the 23:50 post. While they're all busy over at the Obama article, we'll sneak ya in the back door. ;) And, in my best Streisand voice ~ Memories — Ched ~ 00:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Tyrant reporting in. Go get em, rabbit boy. — neuro 01:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

If you can take on the Gas House Gorillas, I am sure you can handle this crowd! Good luck with your RfA! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 02:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. It would be ironic if the final tally turned out to be 96-95. Baseball Bugs 03:06, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Forget Streisand, what about Sherman? "I am not a Misplaced Pages Administrator..... I would not run if nominated............... and if elected, I would not serve." So am I supposed to dig up this well-hidden RfA (meaning, of course, République Fédérale d'Allemagne = Bundesrepublik Deutschland = Federal Republic of Germany) and agonize over whether to support a dithering goldbrick who won't even take the job if offered? All those big taxpayer/voter dollars to support the munificent salary of some freeloading no-show while millions of newly-unemployed would jump at this priceless opportunity for public service? —— Shakescene (talk) 04:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow! You know, they told me this job pays nothing. If I get the job, I think I'll demand that my salary be doubled. Tripled, even. Baseball Bugs 04:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Just a word of advice, Bugs—responding to opposes at RFA is a mug's game; it doesn't make you look good, and it doesn't make the rubes look bad. Try to stay above it all, cool and inebriated, like William Powell as Nick Charles. Deor (talk) 05:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeh, I expect you're right. I'll confine myself to answering questions. Baseball Bugs 05:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Have you ever thought of going to a psychiatrist to help cure your paranoias. The last thing you should be thinking of is becoming an Admisitrator! Holy smoke!! --Signbottom (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
