I tell ya, going through and RfA really is stressful, but also exciting. When feeling such emotions, I've found it's generally not best to make comments, as they tend to be overly emotional. I will say, however, that others have done well to voice my thoughts while voicing their own. I feel like I'm being made an example of&mdash;"I'm sorry it had to happen on an RfA for such a respected memeber [sic] of the community."&mdash;but I accept that it's a neutral and respect Pedro feelings on the matter, so I'm just going to let it go. :)  Lara  ❤  Love  18:43, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ha! Picked up my spelling error but missed the plural of possesion - Pedro's feelings! I've dialled in off the cuff as I'm feeling bad about this. I'll keep considering. But I am Neutral, not opposing! Pedro : Chat  20:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately your RfA also became yet another venue for a certain user to bitch about article creation. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk  20:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's an honest mistake, made in the heat of the moment (RfAs are so traumatic!). I can certainly accept that - A l is o n  ❤ 21:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Man, I can feel the heat coming off the discussion about ageism. Why do they love doing discussions on the main page when there's a talk page (alas, right here) for them to talk all they want? OhanaUnitedTalk page 07:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I really just wish people would stop making comments about it in the RfA. The full discussion is not being read, nor the retraction by Acalamari, and those new to the discussion are still assuming I'm an ageist. Considering a few have stated it's no better than racism, it's not a pleasant thing to read over and over, particularly when it's you their talking about.

(undent) yeah but it's the nature of the wikipedia talk page. People show up late, read a few words here and there, neglect to look at later comments that negate/retract earlier ones, and comment on the first thing that catches their eye, creating a big steaming stewpot full of... something or other. --Ling.Nut 07:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I can definitely appreciate the frustration. I really wouldn't want to look back and see any accusations of 'isms' in my RfA either, but you're doing great Lara. I, like many others, was labeled as 'power hungry,' but people who put their time and effort into your RfA and the closing of it will most certainly see that you handled yourself well and that is an asset in light of the fact that your mop will undoubtedly bring on much worse accusations :) Breathe. the_undertow talk  07:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You trying to say somethin' about my breath?  Lara  ❤  Love  13:08, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm really glad that you, like my ex-girlfriend, find the time in your busy schedule to point out my shortcomings. the_undertow talk  19:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ROFL! Now I truly appreciate what "comedic gold" means. Geometry guy 20:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
