[edit] Redirect

I'm changing this back to a redirect. I'd rather not have to nominate this for deletion (it would certainly be deleted). Just let it remain a redirect to the main subject. Most people who type this in will be looking for Coilgun anyway. Wickethewok 13:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, Wicket. =) Interested in Star Wars, I suppose? I would not like to be harsh, but this is the reason why I edit only about once a week on Wikipedia anymore, if not once a month. It's the bureaucracy, where almost all AfD processes succeed, and those who are administrators trample just normal users with the threat of an AfD (not applying this to you) or elser userblocks and the whole nine yards. *sighs* I once aspired to be an administrator, but after seeing the true face of Wikipedia, I no longer feel inspired to become one of those rank.

This is the reason why I have deemed that I will most likely be leaving Wikipedia as an editor, and returning instead as a humble reader and student. I will use this great source of knowledge as a supplement to other sources, but will always remember the trappings of the bureaucracy that ensnared me, even as I felt an obligation to share my knowledge to the world. I, in essence, am retiring. I once dreamed to become an administrator, and with every waking hour, I wondered, even in the middle of classes, what I could do, what I could write, what I could edit, what I could proofread, to reach that status. Luckily, my ill-fated RfA failed. I would not have been able to bear the thought of becoming an administrator on Wikipedia. I ask forgiveness to anyone I have insulted or hurt here before my retirement, today, Tuesday 3:34 P.M. Standard Eastern Time. Those in the bureaucracy have opposed me at every turn: AfD discussions, merges, redirects. I leave, grieved that I will be unable to help the world, but secure in my knowledge that if I stayed, I would not be able to bear it, being hounded. I give my thanks to: Deckiller Serephine DoomsDay349 and a host of dozens of others which I can not remember. Cheers, Relentless Rouge 19:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
