Bishonen is the main account, and is the one that communicates like a normal human being. "Bishzilla" was created so that Bishonen could write in a comically threatening tone about eating other editors for breakfast, burning them alive, and so on. Again, not an acceptable candidacy.
Her candidacy would be far stronger if she ran under the Bishonen account.
Correct. Bishonen is incredibly good, but as you imply, joking need to be set aside in matters such as this. Especially in Wikipedia of course, which lacks any noticeable sense of humour.
[edit] I note the following extraordinary comment on Giano's talk page by Scribe. "It is this use of blocks to stifle criticism that troubles me most about "civility blocks". " Since when has the use of blocks as criticism - as well as the use of the oversight/deletion function, on which I still have some interesting unpublished emails from Scribe - every troubled this man?

I am sorry but [[User talk:SirFozzie#Your Arbcom Manifesto]] contains no comment so terrible that a user must be blocked should they refuse it. It is this use of blocks to stifle criticism that troubles me most about "civility blocks". Giano's comment to SirFozzie are harshly worded but it is content (not the contributor) that is described as "bolox" and Giano makes it clear why he believes the content to be inaccurate. I find it particularly worrying when we are talking about a statement of candidature for approaching ArbCom elections - are we really saying that if someone feels such a statement is misleading, they cannot call it rubbish due to our civility policies? Oh, what an interesting election that would prove to be... <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:WJBscribe|WJBscribe]] [[User talk:WJBscribe|(talk)]]</strong> 23:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
