Ugh
Didn't mean to draw you into this mess, esan. I was just bitching in general. You don't have to be my "knight in shining armor" as is now being claimed. Don't get addicted to this shit

 * S can kick my ass in real life. It's true. I'm a pathetic weakling. Not much of a knight. esan 04:53, 5 April 2006 (CDT)

Comments about my response
Esan,

I never said that Stabber's contributions were minor in any way. I quote: "She participates mostly as a wikignome, fixing things and updating things to meet current standards, though she's contributed some original content too." That is not at all negative. I respect the work she's done, because it's the stuff I want to do but simply don't have the time for.

An objective tone, in a matter which must be handled objectively, should not imply disrespect. I am not obligated to gush fandom for any contributor, regardless of the significance of their contributions.

Similarily, my comment about you being a "nonentity" here at the GuildWiki was meant solely to establish context for the arbitration. I looked at your contribution history, and you do not appear to be active or well-known in any sense. Thus, the term "nonentity" does in fact apply to you. You are valuable, but you're still unknown. It's not disparaging, simply a statement of fact.

If you're attempting to make me look bad, you're wasting your time&mdash;issuing an arbitration that didn't glorify Stabber has already made me look bad amongst her fans.
