User blog comment:WonderBuono!/Apparently I'm scary?/@comment-27153547-20150420022425

I feel embarrassed because I know the exact comment you're talking about. ////. I wanted to say that that particular instance definitely was a combination of me being really shy but also it has to do with the content of the wiki? Like... there's so much to know about how a wiki works and so many little things to understand about H!P that i don't want to get anything wrong. It's mostly that concept that's the intimidating thing - it wasn't even that it was you in particular, I would have said that about anyone I think. I think that for everyone as well it's like ... when you join, you see users in passing - especially if you're not the type to introduce yourself and chit chat (I'm not terribly social at first). But until you get to know people, you just see them making edits and doing things with what seems like a no-nonsense attitude and things seem super business-y and uptight (I know now that it's hardly as strict as it seems).

Also, I do have to say that it says a lot about you. You're really eloquent and you know what you're talking about. You help the wiki run really well, all the admin do. If you guys weren't so on the ball with everything and willing to listen to user input then it wouldn't be nearly as comforting here.
