An apology

Although I was with this project from the first year (I'm user #188), I went a little power-crazy after a while and abused each of the privileges the community had granted me. At the time, I felt I was "taking zealous action for the greater good", but I finally realized that by ignoring consensus I was hurting the community that had so graciously placed its trust in me.

And "being right" never trumps "being good".

Insight

I am having lots of insights during my March wiki-vacation. Perhaps I'll share some of them in April.
