Wikipedia:You don't need to tell us if you don't care
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors.

Sometimes, when a user has a vested interest in content on Wikipedia that is up for review, usually because it is being considered for deletion and the user created (or contributed significantly to) the content in question, the user will come to the discussion to say something along the lines of:
"I don't even care. Go ahead, delete it. Do whatever you want. Why are you asking me? Just get it over with."
This sort of comment, while not disallowed, is not advisable. At best, it's simply unhelpful, and at worst, it may be viewed by other discussion participants as passive-aggressively attempting to court pity votes in the favor of the user in question, who might, in truth, prefer the content be retained. This may be perceived as part of a pattern of incivility on the part of the interested user, or, if the content being discussed is problematic in some way that they have not shown they understood, further evidence of their failure to get the point. At the very least, it may make you seem unfriendly to the other discussion participants, who might take your comment to mean that you're unwilling to compromise, a my way or the highway type of editor who will only ever willfully collaborate with others if everything is going their way.
Do you actually not care, or are you trying to illustrate a point? Not giving a fuck is commendable, but announcing openly that you don't give a fuck doesn't make it seem like you actually don't give a fuck. If you do give a fuck, then that's fine, but you should be honest about that, stick to your guns and make your case for why your preference is correct. And if you actually, genuinely don't care about the outcome of a particular discussion, you don't need to waste your time commenting on it. Just move on.
