All About Erik (AAE) As a person, I'll admit that I'm quite different from a lot of people you'd see on the Internet. I'm totally a Type-B personality; I'm just consistently relaxed, collected, non-aggressive and non-confrontational, and also quite lazy and prone to procrastination in real life. On any Wiki-based project, you have my word that I'll never use a cross word against someone in the personal attack sense, such as calling someone dumb, let alone calling someone a dumbshit. And I think I can give you my word that I always look for ways to collaborate with others I might be disagreeing with. I doubt you'll ever see me outright angry over how an article's content should be structured or something like that, because all the reasons I can imagine getting angry over something like that would have to include some elements of my asserting a level of [ ownership] over the article, which violates Wikipedia policy. (I haven't actually read most of Wikipedia's policy pages thoroughly through, but I've been around Wikipedia for years and seem to know it from firsthand experience as well as looking at other policymonger users.) I think I could theoretically deal with an abusive user on my talk page for literal years, and only respond civilly and sensibly throughout. This would actually be a tactic on my part; people who are aggressive and abrasive tend to look silly in the eyes of many and usually don't become so popular, so I just gotta keep on being the model of easiness-to-work-with to get my enemies into their downfalls. ^_^ This is not to say I try to be overly friendly either... The point is that I don't think you should ever assume bad faith on my part whenever I'm doing stuff at any Wiki. If you see me in any instance where I'm violating any of what I said above, I'd appreciate it if you notified me on my talk page. That said, there are things that cause me to feel bitter towards whoever might be causing them. When the subject's about something that's supposed to be entertaining, like a Nintendo videogame, I don't like seeing pompous comments that are intentionally inflammatory to certain fans, on or offwiki, especially when those types of comments are posted just for that purpose. And I don't like similarly inflammatory rants that make everything about some particular thing sound awful when it itsn't. But these aren't actually pet peeves of mine - looking at people's pet peeves tend to make me edgy too - so it's not like I'll go out of my way to be be overly unreasonable. Alright, well, ultimately I hope we can edit harmoniously. Erik the Appreciator |
Erik's MiscellanyIn June, I got into the crazy wacky world of Action Replay for Melee. Prior to that, my Melee credentials included the following more hardcore achievements, all without the help of any Action Replay:
