Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yield! |
Wikipedia is basically Webkinz World for grownups. |
I haven't yet been screwed by sonneteers. |
Strength is essential, but otherwise unimportant |
Hello, and welcome
- I respond to Floquenbeam, Floq, Flo, FB, any other nickname you can think of (as long as it's not rude), or even "hey you", as long as I know from context you're talking to me.
- I don't go around correcting people when they guess wrong (hardly their fault), but I'm a "he".
- I'm easy to get along with (at least in real life), so please give me any constructive criticism you want; I'm aware that I'm imperfect, and usually quite willing to admit it and apologize when I screw up.
- I try my best to turn the other cheek, but I'm evidently not so great getting unconstructive criticism, particularly when my good faith is questioned, or if I think I'm being patronized.
- I instinctively side with the underdog, so I tend to react poorly when I see other people (particularly newbies) bullied or patronized. I'm not convinced that's a defect, but I'm trying to make more of an effort in not going immediately into attack mode.
- I'm an admin here. If you think I suck and shouldn't be, go here: User:Floquenbeam/Recall.
- Sock declaration: User:Floquensock, User:Floquenstein's monster, and User:Floquenphone are me.
- FWIW, I used to have another account before Floquenbeam, but abandoned it; so I've been here longer than it looks.
- I was on the Arbitration Committee from 1 January 2014 until 29 July 2014, but couldn't hack it.
- I'm currently an Oversighter, but the odds are pretty good that you'll get faster results by going here: Special:EmailUser/Oversight. But if you see I'm currently active, you can email me personally too.

My first (and only!) self-created userbox, inspired by a conversation with an incredulous 25 year old coworker today
My wiki birthday. I am somewhat older than this in real life.
This user has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian and was awarded their own day on 27 May 2010. |
Happy me day!
This user is an administrator, but might like not to be one some day. |
Shamelessly stolen from Pedro
According to Political Compass this user is: Economic Neutral () and 1.0 Social Libertarian () −5.0 |
So no, I'm not working for Santorum's election campaign, in spite of occasional moronic claims to the contrary
This administrator is open to recall. |
Finally got around to this: see User:Floquenbeam/Recall
Good boy.
