I appreciate the thought. I'm sorry if I offended you with explaining the route which I would take if I were given ops. Perhaps it would be better served if I had said something less political in nature or you were a bit less reprehensible of my actions? I'd love to make a better impression, but I'm worried the attempt would be in the nature of futility.
In the future, I'll make sure not to sound as if I'm going to make an extra effort based on possible circumstances surrounding the possibility of being given a responsibility. Do you have any comments on the subject? I'd love to accept some criticism about my person and the worthiness of being an op on IRC. ~SpaceGhost On Jan 11, 10:04 pm, Lunks <[email protected]> wrote: > "If I were made part of the team for ops, then I'd feel a bigger > responsibility to the channel and take greater care that others not > interpret my words in negative ways" > > If you guys vote me, I'll run for president and do nice things. > > Seriously, this is not the mailing list where you are supposed to advertise > yourself. > > On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 18:26, SpaceGhost <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > > > > > I'd like to nominate myself and Remear.
