Good show

It makes sense to me.--Tznkai (talk) 06:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right on. - Dank (push to talk) 13:38, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rephrasing

Per discussion on WT:RFA: perhaps a "nutshell" that explains that it often better to acknowledge the !vote respectfully, and not attempt to "change" a person's viewpoint. — Ched : ? 17:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Right now the phrasing seems to be a condescending way to respond to any !vote one finds stupid. Malinaccier (talk) 18:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I support the idea of a new and fresh approach and where it may lead. --Buster7 (talk) 05:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per the discussion that Ched refers to, I've made an edit to the essay. [1] What do people think? Better? Too many words? Too much tangential discussion about trolls at the end? Please apply machetes and welding torches as necessary... -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I like this version much more. Good job! Malinaccier (talk) 02:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Regarding subsequent edits, I don't want to drift into WP:OWN territory, but I really don't get "Your attempt at participation is appreciated." Can that possibly be taken as civil? -GTBacchus^(talk) 05:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
