Line 239:
I'm sorry to see you go, Proteus. I sympathise completely. We seem to send too much time in here explaining the bleeding obvious to the those who have little grasp of fact but a conviction of their own infallibility. I've spent the last few days debating whether to quit Wikipedia also. Sometimes it feels as though it is not worth the effort anymore. Quality is being destroyed by ignorance, rampant deletionism, and far too many fools. Many of the''best'' contributors have just given up on the project in frustration. Take care and thanks for all the contributions.

: That is no excuse horever to use administrator's privileges (like the rollback button) in matters you disagree about. I counted at least 19 admin rollbacks to well-meaning edits by a large chuck of users who do not agree with Proteus's terminology/spelling. That is ''abuse'' administrator privileges.
: And calling people who disagree with you "idiots" and the like, definitely speaks more about one's own character than that of your opponents.
: PS I am an uninvolved party, it was today I stumbled unto this user and never encountered him on Wikipedia. [[User:Oleg Alexandrov|Oleg Alexandrov]] ([[User talk:Oleg Alexandrov|talk]]) 00:54, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Ditto Jtdirl. I find that my willingness to edit here comes and goes depending on my mood. Lately I've just kept my head down and edited minor politicians—stuff where no one gets in your way. I wish you weren't leaving, but I understand why. If you do decide to come back, I trust I'll be here to welcome you.
