Thanks I m not really that into the crises Bishonen and I approach Wikipedia very differently and we can never understand why the other one doesn t get involved in Crisis X or Y that is so clearly all important I care about policy I figure that the principle of the thing is extremely important and if we get good policies and stick to them until it hurts and then change them when enough people feel the pain but only with consideration of the pains we feel and the ones we want to avoid all will be well I think Bishonen cares about people and particularly people getting stomped on by the bullies of the site She helps people Anyway it kind of explains why I ll just drop anchor on some prinicple or another and stay there no matter what like listening to what AfD says and not unilaterally undeleting like rejecting the notion that there are expert editors I also don t do much vandal blocking or reverting I do have a plan for the articles I m writing One day I promise I m going to finish The Dunciad Well in The Dunciad Pope blasts a hole in about three dozen contemporaries I ve read the poem many many times studied it many times and I ve always been a bit bugged that I never had a handle on who the dunces were what they had done to deserve their treatment or what they stood for Since I want to be more of an expert on the culture and politics of 1700 1750 I m on a groove to get a bio of every one of the dunces in and I was shocked to find that my employer s library has a 2004 DNB Then it s just a question of time and taking notes and writing Since reading DNB biographies means not grading papers it s fairly irresistible
