Still awaiting a sign that I can be a part of this discussion from other people but thought that this needed to be out there.
All I can say on this issue at the moment
Welcome to I^2!
I'm not staff here, I'm not even that much of a regular - I'm an AFF admin - but you are welcome to be apart of the discussion.
You should be aware, however, that anything you say can and will be used against you. We're not malicious, but we don't even know what kid gloves look like, let alone use them.
If you have reasonable...reasons for your actions, then state them and you'll be fine - if they're actually reasonable, they'll be accepted - see any time that I've been called out on something.
Also, we have a disproportionate number of Admin and Moderators from other sites here, so we do know how fucked the job is.
Ahem. I know what kid gloves look like, I wear kid gloves and I know how they should be cleaned.
TO clean kid gloves.--Make a strong lather with curd soap and warm water, in which steep a small piece of new flannel. Place the glove on a flat, clean, and unyielding surface--such as the bottom of a dish, and having thoroughly soaped the flannel (when squeezed from the lather), rub the kid till all dirt be removed, cleaning and resoaping the flannel from time to time. Care must be taken to omit no part of the glove, by turning the fingers, &c. The gloves must be dried in the sun, or before a moderate fire, and will present the appearance of old parchment. When quite dry, they must be gradually "pulled out," and will look new.
Well, of course you would know, your Majesty, that shit goes without saying. I mean the rest of the vagrants here - why, I doubt the half of them know the proper etiquette for wearing a hat!
Indeed, proper hat-wearing is serious business, like the internet itself!
