No Snowball, Please
Although the first 24 hours of my RFA have produced more opposition than support, I would appreciate the community allowing me to continue through the full 7 days. I value comments like those of Ioeth and Shirik: they give me clear directions for the future. I have disturbed some customs in this RFA: I accept the reactions. I believe I have a thick enough skin to constructively survive this RFA. jmcw (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you took my comment constructively instead of personally. I have very little doubt that a future RFA of yours, should you choose to run, will be successful with such an attitude. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 20:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Modest Edit Count
Concerning my modest edit count: I work, have a family and train many hours a week in martial arts - there are not too many hours left for Wikipedia. My wife in particular does not assume anything good about Wikipedia - I have my editing bursts when there is a Robert Redford movie on. I confess to occasionally watching 'Pretty Woman': if I pass this RFA, I promise to work instead in Admin areas during the movie. jmcw (talk) 14:05, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * JMCW, I personally don't mean to discourage you. The community presumably does not think negatively of you. In fact, you have a good chance of becoming an administrator - but in my opinion, not now. The community might generally prefer you to expand your editing work beyond Karate, and might also perhaps prefer you undertaking quasi-admin tasks in the between. Believe me, six months of regular involvement across the pedia and you could surely come in handy as a trusted admin. Examples like User:SpacemanSpiff should help you understand that it perhaps is not time spent on Wikipedia that is more important, than editing. I wish you good. Take my help in anything in the future if you wish. '' ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣  08:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I will withdraw Monday afternoon
I had not intended to offend the community so deeply with my attitude about questions: I am sorry. I will end this RFA after the weekend. I invite anyone to leave additional comments here on the talk page. jmcw (talk) 10:08, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Withdraw
I see no great progress in the last day and I wish not to engender more bitterness in the community.

To the people who have expressed support and have given suggestions, thank you - you will see me in the admin space more often.

To the people who could not get beyond my disturbance of the RFA ritual and to whom I have been a pebble over which they have stumbled on their path through Wikipedia, sorry.

And to everyone, thanks and a nice Valentines Day! jmcw (talk) 13:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
