Ahem. She doesn't HAVE access to checkuser tools, or at least she's not supposed to.
I'm fairly certain she got them, in a bid to use them with the Wikiscanner tool, which was her big push when it was launched a few months ago. Which gave her free access to the revealing tool that she should not be able to use at all.
Someone with her tendencies needs a strong hand and a close watch, and on Wikipedia, that simply isn't there. Her age makes her esp. unwieldly. How is a 15 year old kid supposed to combat a 50 year old ego-mad woman with brains, education, professional experience and an attitude that could level a tall building?
For all the dissing I do of kids managing Wikipedia, there are some cases where they are at a completely unfair disadvantage, and have my total sympathies, and arguing with Durova is one of them.
