 You've seen me on IRC, and I rarely lose my cool. If the person or people in question were being '''''so''''' stupid that I'd overreact, they wouldn't be worth affiliating with, talking to, etc; Like Myth, I know your general wiki back to front, if that was ever needed. Also, you may remember, I helped affiliate with [[Springfield Punx]], though not very large a job, helped get the word out just that bit more about Wikisimpsons.

 I'm speaking to what you wrote in the announcement, but there may well be things you're looking for in a site representative that just haven't come to your attention yet. On that basis and as said previously, I'll take no offense at all if you decide that Will or Cook would be a more suitable rep.

 Okay, here's my position: In your notice looking for someone to assume the rep duties, you said that you have a tendency to get annoyed and lose your cool (which tends to adversely impact dealings with other people/websites). That implies that you are looking for someone who is able to keep a cool head and not get offended as easily. I've got that covered, I think. In my working with the wiki I've gone to great lengths to avoid "pulling rank" based on age, but in stating the need for someone with a cooler head to represent the wiki, I think you've uncovered a situation where an older head may be the better one for the job. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff." A follow-up to that is that there are some things worth sweating and some that are better to let slide, and in some situations, in order to know the difference, it REALLY helps if you've been around the block a few more times. (BTW, "been around the block" is a USA expression for being older or more experienced—it has nothing to do with the UK expression "round the bend"! LOL ...)
 Also, as my wiki contributions can attest, I've had enough experience with writing that I've gotten pretty good at writing diplomatically and, if necessary, schmoozing via the written word. The latter isn't a skill I'm particularly proud of, but it is useful sometimes.
