[edit] 2 kinds of requests

Somehow people are all buying into this not being a serious request. It is. Two kinds of requests:

  1. Serious request: Posting something like this
  2. Flippant request: Posting something like this

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Alas. --Ali'i 20:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

/me goes fishing for trout... Rudget (Help?) 20:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
How rude! I fully plan to use that in my serious RfA, when it comes up, so I think you should apologize to the kitty.--KojiDude (C) 20:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
The issue I see is that you didn't actually give any clear situations in which you envisioned you might use the tools until the answer to question #7. It sounded as if you just wanted them 'just because', and this wasn't clarified until the tone of the RFA had already been set. It's a bit of an own goal, in my opinion, since this ambiguity most probably would have been avoided by answering question #1. - BanyanTree 23:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I think you made a few fundamental errors in your nomination. There is a level of flippancy and facetiousness lingering in the air around your RfA. You've also contradicted yourself a few times. Furthermore, you essentially admitted to wanting to prove that RfA either is or is not a big deal. This coupled to flat out saying you will not use the tools (sorry, you can backpedal all you want, but that's what you said) is causing people to view this RfA as a farce. Wisdom89 (T / C) 23:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Let's try to be a little more precise in our use of language. Some people may view this RfA as a farce, indeed they may view life itself as the ultimate farce, but let's not ascribe that opinion to everyone who doesn't agree with us, eh? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I didn't say everyone. I said people, which actually implies not everyone. Let's try not to rely on semantics. Wisdom89 (T / C) 00:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Have you considered borrowing a dictionary? Semantics is concerned with the meaning of words. Are you suggesting that we should simply ignore what the words mean, and just use whichever ones we feel are fashionable? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
MF, what consequence is it to you wether Wisdom can use the type of grammar skills you deem "appropriate"? Is this at all in response to his statement, or just poking fun at his choice of words?--KojiDude (C) 00:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Who mentioned grammar? I thought we were discussing semantics? Would you like to borrow Wisdom's dictionary once he's finished with it? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
MF, dude, how about you stifle the sarcasm. I am well aware of the meaning of the word semantics, and quite a few others for that matter. My point is that we shouldn't harp on semantics. It should have been patently obvious that my earlier comment did not imply that I felt everyone thought the RfA was a farce, but that some people did. Wisdom89 (T / C) 00:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
