Your RFA oppose

It is one thing to have your own idiosyncratic rules for how you vote on RFAs, and it is another to bait editors who say stupid things in response to your vote. Please don't make comments such as I'll be happy to respond as soon as you post a legitimate reason for supporting the nomination. PS, I'll be the judge if your response is legitimate or not. on RFAs, even in response to people who don't have legitimate reasons to support the RFA.

There was nothing about my reply to his questioning my oppose !vote that was inappropriate. I'll be happy to listen to your advice when you question some of the less than adequate support !votes. Until then, you are free to have whatever opinion you want, but I'm not all that interested in hearing it. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 22:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
    • To be honest, I really feel bad and I was out of line to have called your criteria obtuse nor user antagonist words like “laughable” I violated my own oath to myself which is not to (speak) when i am upset. Myself & Ritchie333 always butt heads but nonetheless they have always defended me whenever I was in trouble, we have a great deal of respect for each other, so when they mentioned that your criteria has remained the same over years, I paused for a minute and thought things over. I apologize for my rude comments, please do accept my apology. Even if I didn’t understand your criteria I could have engaged you in a more productive manner. If you choose to not to reply I perfectly understand & if you choose not to accept my apology I understand also, just know that I am indeed truly sorry for being rude to you.

Celestina007 - that was very gracious, and I accept your apology, as I hope that you'll accept mine if I offended you. GregJackP Boomer! 20:02, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for accepting my apology. It does mean a lot to me, you didn’t offend me in any manner, it was I who acted irresponsibly. Once again thank you mate. Celestina007 (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to take an unpopular position and thank you for your oppose on the RFA. Not on the merits, because that's entirely between you and your higher power. I'm thanking you for your WP:BOLD. In my RFA, the first person to oppose MY run was acting bravely. I think occasionally a senior user might feel the need to give permission for others to disagree with a clear consensus, just because. In this case invoking your completely reasonable personal criteria (which I'm glad I passed) helps others to not "go along to get along." All of us want more and better sysops. We can't do it unless RFA is allowed to work itself out. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 16:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, BusterD. I appreciate your comments more than you realize. GregJackP Boomer! 23:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
