Don't ask people to do this. Tell them. I think that a lot of people who ask for power shouldn't have it. Where would we be if juries were made up of those who held their hands up to do it?
You underestimate my diplomatic powers when I try. "This user is a _native_ speaker of _Bullshit_." We have ways of *asking nicely*.
However, anyone reading this who's been on Wikipedia more than six months and is flabbergasted at the levels of STUPID surrounding the entire {{user pedophile}} incident should consider themselves a hot draft prospect ...

I'm flabbergasted at the amount of stupid coming from all sides, actually. I propose in future we use talk pages to discuss something rather than block/delete/edit summaries.
