Mr. Pot... call your office. Mr. Kettle is waiting to take a meeting.
Listen, nobody is picking a fight with you. You reacted to the question raised by the IP about AdjustShift as if it was a personal slur -- which is odd, since you were never cited as part of the inquiry.
I will raise one point, however -- some months ago, NuclearWarfare (of all people) stated on his talk page that he was informed by "checkusers" that they were aware of "banned" editors who became admins. He used the plural -- editors and admins.
Now, I have no idea why NW would say such a thing or why any checkuser would confide in him. However, he doesn't strike me as a liar. And considering statements by Risker about how she allows sock accounts to flourish, I am suspicious.
So let me put the question out on the table for any and all checkusers who are reading this: Are there any "banned" editors who are currently admins? A simple Yes or No answer is all that is required.
Don't waste my time telling me what a terrible horse I am or how these inquiries belong on WP or blah blah blah -- just a Yes or No answer will be sufficient. Is NW correct when he says that checkusers know there are "banned" editors as admins, or is that statement incorrect?
Just a Yes or No, please. Thanks.
