Fair witnesses are not staff members.

They're semistaff members.
Right. Grex certainly doesn't need to encourage active users.

Some active users need encouragement. Some are just a plague.

re 50 I've given you almost a dozen reasons for why I should be a fairwitness
of the language conference. Care to give me any reasons why I should not be
one?

He was just being silly, gelinas. Couldn't you tell by his language?

And how is that different from everything else he (or is it you, under a
different login-id? I've never yet figured that out) has entered here?

What's wrong with entering silly stuff?

Nothing, as an occasional change of pace. But when it is all (or even almost
all) someone enters, the resulting impression is . . . silliness, unrelieved
silliness.

In any case, it's not a strong qualification for FWing.

It's almost funny how gelinas is using willcome's opinions of my actions as
the truth.

re resp:64: Yeah, it's strange how people view things when two loginids
always agree with one another; when one of them usually comes along and
says "Me, too" when the other one says anything at all; and when they
cite one another as possessing positive characteristics that no one
else seems to have perceived. It's really weird how, when two loginids
seem identical, others may come to think they have something in
common. Fortunately, willcome, by jumping on such assumptions and
disputing them, you can always correct people's impressions and make
sure they treat you as two separate people. Keep trying, some of us
are pretty slow and have to be told as many as dozens of times before
we'll properly understand what you're saying on a subject such as this
one.

re 65

Patently false.

> says "Me, too" when the other one says anything at all;
Mmhuh?

Some people percieve them, others don't.
>when two loginids seem identical,
Seem identical to whom? Since you're responding for gelinas, we
may as well say that jep and gelinas are the same person.
You seem identical enough.
> others may come to think they have something in common.
Maybe two people have some things in common, but clearly they are not the same
persons. Your post has done more to show the differences between myself and
willcome than to show how we are the same. Or perhaps its purpose was to show
how old persons' faculties slow down over time.

If naftee really wants what is best for the lang conference, he can do what
other people have already said re: give his ideas to the existing FW to try
out. If naftee absolutely must *be* a FW before knowing what those ideas are,
I agree with what rcurl said in #45 - go learn as the FW of a conference no
one cares if it gets "broken".

Heh. You're not going to offend me by confusing me with gelinas, but
Joe might take it badly.

I don't participate on M-Net. It is entirely possible that the polytarp
and naftee personas are differentiated on that system. They have not
been well-differentiated here. #69 is the first response I've noticed
that offers some evidence of different people. Saying "I'm not polytarp"
is NOT evidence, by the way; it is merely an claim.

re 71 No, I'm actually quite capable of differentiating between two seperate
users, unlike some other users around here. Funny, it seems like some of
those "other users" are staff members. You'd think a staff member would know
how to tell if indeed there is only one user using two loginids.
re 70 What happens when you attempt to give your ideas to a FW of a conference
who a) has let it become inactive and therefore doesn't give a shit about it
and b) is prejudiced towards the giver of ideas? No, that FW must certainly
be replaced.
