:appreciate the feedback egg, but I am curious - very often I see action taken out of ANI well under 12 hours from original complaint, and often without the person targeted being able to put in any sort of response. I'm not the type to just "let what happens happen"... while some things have certainly been pointed out to me about my use of vandl templates that I need to re-evaluate - the pigeon-holing and borderline witch-hunt it has turned into isn't something I can just up and ignore and let action be taken against when I feel I have a very sound reason for things.   How can I just sit there and let that happen without at least trying to show the justification/reasoning for what's going on?   A couple people seem hellbent on revoking my abilities, or intent on vilifying my efforts because of a couple of isolated incidents stemming from frusteration (which I have owned up to, less the templating the regulars bit), and ignoring the positive impact I have tried to keep on the quality of the articles. If that's how they want it - not much I can do about it is there?  I'm not to just roll over and die - but if the end results are going to be "bad" as you say... then I will simply walk away from it all. I don't know how to do things half-way. I'm either here to improve the quality of the articles and keep the vandals at bay - or I'm out. It's not worth the stress and other associated bullshit otherwise.
