* Looks in mirror. Sees fool. * I owe Jessamyn an apology for being such a jerk to her.[More:]
You know how when you're mad, you can say things you shouldn't which you regret later? That's what this was, and apparently I'm the guy who needs a ten-minute waiting period before posting, occasionally, to avoid being so stupid.

I acted very foolishly and in haste. I was wrong to be a jerk to Jessamyn about the wiki thing, and I owe her an apology. I'm sorry, Jessamyn.

I especially appreciate that she was so decent and level-headed in her response, which is why she is a great admin and hot-headed people like me would not be.

I'm sorry for bringing acrimony to MeCha on Friday. It's the first time I've done it here, and I'll make sure it's the last.

To brighten this post, I want to make its theme from here on "Happy Land Fun Time".

Fuck you, Mcgraw. Fuck you and your "It's my garden, so I should ask a pro" Pepsiblue advertising. If it's your garden, you should take care of it yourself.

how is this happy or fun?
is it just land and time?
is this like those quail eggs with the happy joy family label?

Can you please grow up really really fast, and burst out of all of your clothes, like the Incredible Hulk? That would be cool. kthxbi

Apology accepted, it was no big deal really. A lot of people don't quite get how Wikipedia works, or why things happen there the way they do. After the whole q thing, someone from MetaFilter actually put the article about me up for an AfD debate perhaps making some sort of point [In good faith? Hard to tell. Coincidence? Unlikely.] This was the second time in six months that article has gone through the deletion/voting thing, so I know what it's like to see content that you care about go through that, it can be a nail-biter.

We're all scheduled to have a freakout session sometime. It happens.

(I have the schedule, and will inform persons of the date of their next session for a nominal transaction fee)

Apology graciously given, and graciously received.

Good work.

Hi, Jessamyn. Thank you for being so understanding. I probably didn't even deserve your reply (after flying off the handle, being such an ass*%le) so the fact that you've accepted my apology-- I sincerely appreciate it.

I'm glad to see that the votes are to keep your article. It looks like it will be retained. Sorry that somebody has tried to get it deleted. Please vote for keeping it, for those here who can do so/have a wiki account.

And I'm oblivious to how wiki works so I was just flying blind.

Well done by all parties.

I'm overdue for a freakout, by the way.

posted by puddinghead 24 October | 10:28
but it was notable it lasted as long as it did. i think that says something.

i don't wanna see a pudding pop.
posted by ethylene 24 October | 10:37
