:So, for what are you fishing, [[Nathan Larson|Nathan]]? What's the purpose of this and other similar pages? As usual, you think only of your own goals, and you don't mind the stomach-ache, so addicted are you to what happens from your fishing expeditions, that provide "meaning" for your life. ("Fishing" for certain responses is called "trolling.") | :So, for what are you fishing, [[Nathan Larson|Nathan]]? What's the purpose of this and other similar pages?

:"Can of worms" refers to a complex situation that can take up the time of users and administrators, without serving the purposes of the wiki. Sure, if you are fishing, and you open your tin of meat, and find it full of worms, you could use those worms for fishing. More likely, though, you are disappointed, disgusted, and left hungry and dissatisfied, and maybe angry at whoever sold you that can. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 15:35, 12 March 2014 (UTC) | :"Can of worms" refers to a complex situation that can take up the time of users and administrators, without serving the purposes of the wiki.

::Fishing can be used in a [http://whoaflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/savefish.jpg positive sense], too. If I catch fish, it's only because I love them, and want them to be happy, or at least not unhappy. It must be very dreary swimming around all the time, never accomplishing much; how much better if a win-win scenario can be arrived at, by which I get to eat a nice McDonald's meal #9, or its functional equivalent, while the fish is put out of its misery. It need not leave me unsatisfied. | |||
::Even [[wikipedia:Matthew 4:19|the Bible]] uses "fishing" in a positive way. Was Jesus a troll? Maybe. He sure went around provoking people to want to crucify him, didn't he? And he got what he wanted. He even [[wikipedia:Matthew 26:53|pointed out]] that it was totally avoidable, but let it happen anyway. | |||
::What kind of articles are we supposed to have about wiki people, anyway? Point to a model article of that type that would be worthy of featured status, if we had such a thing. [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 15:46, 12 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
