| “ | Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania?
Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus. Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum. Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos. Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos. Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans præceptum ejus. Dominus dixit ad me : Filius meus es tu ; ego hodie genui te. Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terræ. Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos. Et nunc, reges, intelligite; erudimini, qui judicatis terram. Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore. Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via justa. Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo. |

A woodcut print of the Quaternion Eagle, the double-headed eagle armorial of the Holy Roman Empire. It showed the shields of the various parts of the empire in groups of four on the feathers of the eagle supporting, in place of a shield, Christ on the True Cross. The top, larger shields, are those of the seven Prince-electors, as well as one for the titular "Prefect of Rome". Woodcut: Hans Burgkmair; print: David de Negker |

Wikipedia is a funny world
I still see too many sock/meatpuppets from Japanese biggest and "ultra-nationalistic" web forum, 2channel. Of course, my every activities still have been watched and chased by them. They even create and manage the site dedicating to me.[1] (finally the owner of one of such blogs deleted it as of Feb. 2009). They are just a group of Otaku missing their golden era. That is pathetic. Unless these people do not make "personal attacks" or wikistalking to me (too many such cases occurred), I don't bother myself to submit a report to WP:SPI on them. Civility is very important for communication.
I began to vote for RfA after I saw many "mega hit" shows produced by admins such as "Essjay controversy and admins' abuses. Wikipedia has still too many unqualified/uncivil/incompetent admins who should never have the tools. Since adminship is de facto "tenured" for the reason that evaluation would take times (how ridiculous), "election for adminship" is far from the catch praise "No big deal". Some RFA regulars dislike my low support rate and even made a threat. However, except few cases, they don't prove me "wrong". I also think that uncivil editors hoping to become an admin should not hound around ANI/AN/WQA boards. Their comments are mostly unhelpful and give just another stress to people.
I'm bemused at this bullshit used by heavily biased people whenever they fail to persuade their opponents with a logic. They often say "Oh, I'm not XYZ person, so I'm neutral" even though they have lived/worked in the XYZ, have a spouse/lover/friends of XYZ origin, study XYZ related studies, enjoy XYZ related culture, etc. On contrary to the claim, their edits tell everything.
In my observation, if people really want to leave/die, they carry out subtly and quietly, not advertise their intention loudly to others. Cuddling their "shows" is totally worthless. What would happen if they really leave this community or die? If they don't find something good as being here/on earth, then their choice follow their free will. No my concern. A sad thing is that (unwanted) whining divas always come back with a big fuss, but real accomplished contributors are really gone with their short farewell. Workshop
