OK, so I'm off to a rough start. Serves me right for picking a topic as contentious and thorny as the South Dakota reproductive rights controversy. Hard to maintain civility in the face of that megilla.
So far, I've been able to forge consensus in several cases, and I'm quite proud of that. In other cases, I've raised some hackles, and even stepped on the toes of a couple of admins. I'm not at all happy about that. It's easy to forget that you're a newb when you're caught up in the heat of the argument.
Well, what can I do except commit to doing better in the future. You live, you learn, you read the FAQ in detail instead of skimming it, and you move on.
I think I'll pick a less controversial project to work on next. Hmm, looks like End-user computing needs cleaning up. That looks promising. Four tildes for now. Struct 07:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
