:You're right. I should so totally not become embittered by the fact that two talk page contributions apparently had more merit than my 140+ encyclopedia contributions. --[[User:KevinM|KevinM]] 17:25, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

::Many people have to wait a long time. Do you think I got block rights overnight? Others have a faster track. It may console you to read the parable of the labourers in the vineyard, Matthew 20:1-16; ''So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen'' (verse 16).

:::What bothers me most is the multiple lack of logic. I'm supposed to make more and better edits, but my attention is required to undo the work of vandals (who I have to combat until somebody with block rights notices what's going on instead of, oh, I dunno... actually blocking them), and I have less time to prove my worth because the site is suddenly locked down. And I don't get edit rights because my edits once again lack "merit" - and then I look at that guy on the Lenski Issue talk page, who got edit rights after making just ''two talk page edits''. And the payoff? That guy hasn't made a single mainspace edit so far! And when I tell Andy that, I get told that I need logic and faith. Uh, yeah, apparently a bit more of the latter than the former. But for some reason, I didn't just pack my bags, so I guess I still have ''some'' faith left... --[[User:KevinM|KevinM]] 17:42, 1 July 2008 (EDT)
