I think you should reconsider.  You have some good points [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User:Iduan&diff=prev&oldid=370721 here] but do you really have to leave? --[[User:CPAdmin1|Tim <small>(CPAdmin1)</small>]]^{[[User talk:CPAdmin1|talk]]} 22:28, 16 January 2008 (EST)

:You know right now, frankly I'm half way. The points I made there aren't why I'm thinking about leaving - it's just the frustration that is the byproduct of those points. But you know, until just today it hadn't really hit me how much I'd miss CP, that's why I actually took that message down (and it will at least temporarily stay down), because I felt like pretending that everything was normal, and ultimately I'm not sure what direction I'll take. I'm not going to lie, the fact that I was [[Conservapedia:Sysop contest/Nominations/Iduan|nominated for sysop]] does play a role in it - because even if I fail, it shows that I've made some progress, which should lessen the frustration (it's not as though I'm staying if I make sysop and leaving if I don't lol). But thank you Tim for the note, it's people like you that I've enjoyed so much about Conservapedia and it's why I'm having such difficulty leaving!--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 22:34, 16 January 2008 (EST)

::I have had some frustrating experiences here also.  Including some long debates against Andy.  I even stopped contributing for a while.  (8 edis from 8/28 til 1/9) (thus my "no vote" on your sysop nomination.)  I think if you stick around and contribute, you will end up with the rights sooner or later.  --[[User:CPAdmin1|Tim <small>(CPAdmin1)</small>]]^{[[User talk:CPAdmin1|talk]]} 00:14, 17 January 2008 (EST)

:::Thanks for the kind words. I will probably stick around for a bit longer than I originally planned, definitely until the end of the nomination (assuming that ends in a reasonable amount of time ...), and then I'll re-evaluate (with the results from that and from experiences over that time) and see where I'm at, although really if too much time goes by I'm going to have to immediately leave, as especially given the type of work I do (browsing articles, checking recent changes, and editing templates), even doing the smallest thing is sometimes time consuming without rights (I can't edit templates without going to someone - even if I just need to fix grammar in a template), I can't delete articles without tracking someone down ... and so on. But hey, so far no one has come out and opposed me on the nomination, so I suppose there's hope.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 00:18, 17 January 2008 (EST)
