I had a thought or two

Feel free to call me an interfering old scrote and ignore the thoughts.

Just like you I started my AFC and AFCH 'career' knowing I was right. As I progress I realise that I am by no means always so. I became, I hope, kinder in my comments and reviews while never letting go of the focus of the message I wanted to impart. I've watched your comments to the editors and they reminded me of me in my earlier days. If I am better in my later days than I was in my earlier ones, may I encourage you to emulate my style of imparting increasing information with increasing kindness?

And yes, some folk exasperated me still! (not you!) Fiddle Faddle 15:53, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with you, I believe it may be the fact I can type as fast as I think, and getting my thoughts down quickly is something I often do without considering how it may be interpreted (and maybe not reading over it a few times), even I often interpret my own comments later as rude (maybe not the word, I can't think of the right word to use). I'll try and encourage myself to slow down a little, which I believe would help me greatly. Thanks for the message, I do appreciate constructive criticism (although it may not always come across that way). --  Kethrus |talk to me  16:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm glad I didn't upset you. I, too, think-type. In reviews I have developed, gradually, a standard (and ever evolving) set of paragraphs. This gives me more time to think. You are welcome to plagiarise mine, if you like. They are linked from my user page. That approach may give you the brain space you need to be even more helpful to our new editors.
