Floquenbeam (talk | contribs) except for WP:RANDY, this describes "discussion" on WP better than anything else I've seen in a while |

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'm currently on the Arbitration Committee until 31 December 2015, or until I can't stand it anymore, or get kicked off, whichever comes first. There is no rational explanation for this.
Userboxes
This user remembers (with nostalgia) having to use punch cards to run Fortran programs in college. |
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 The Political Compass this user is: Economic Neutral (1.0) and 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
