Sometimes the place gets a little stuffy BrowserUk. And if you were to consult the appropriate chatter log youd see the answer is no i didn't get a rush of power. I didn't even think to restore it until theorbtwo pointed out that I in fact had the power to do so.

I respected your right to consider it for deletion, but in this case without any criticism of the consideration you made I felt it was appropriate to override it. Its not something im likely to do often, but I felt that in this case the node shouldn't have been deleted. From what ive seen in the chatter lots of monks here like cooking and frankly a little around-the-cooler banter here isnt totally out of place. The other thing is that I'm pretty sure that had a more established monk written a node in the appropriate tone on the same subject it wouldn't have been deleted. I mean he might not have quite touched the right tone but he at least made an effort.

Im really hopeful that the restore of this node wont get political. We dont need any more politics than we all already have in our lives and a little bit of light hearted stuff around here would help to keep the site lively.

Consider "the node which shall not be named". What difference is there between a node about why people chose their nickname and a node about what peoples favorite recipes are?
