She has been woken from her deep sleep by KillerChihuahau, a kind fairy who has given her friendly words of advice.

You are not funny. I am not laughing.

Should I care?

Moi? I'm sure laughing. This is Real Contender for the Most Ironic Thing Ever Written On Wikipedia (MITEWOW) —

Hi, didn't know if you were aware of this: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ryulong/Proposed decision#Ryulong desysopped. As he is the only Admin besides you I know of who was asked to step down under AOR who did not, perhaps there is a lesson there for you — those who have expressed concern about your methods and actions do so with concern for Wikipedia in mind, and not for any baseless or personal reason. You would do well to heed their advice and pay attention to their concerns, and modify your approach accordingly. Those who cause distress and concern to such a large group of established, reputable editors would do well to examine their own actions, because while the majority is not always right, when there are that many complaints, there are generally grounds for them and eventually this must be corrected, one way or the other. I hope you will consider this a helpful bit of advice, and cease your high-handed, dismissive way of simply ignoring or personalizing concerns brought to you about your actions and instead view the mass of criticism directed your way as an opportunity to improve.

And that is saying a lot —

KC and Elonka both seem to be masters of projection; I wonder if this will kick off a great mirrorinsideamirrorinsideamirrorinsideamirror-type effect.

In a glass, that dimly, it takes but a few reflections before everything fades to blecchhh

Yes, but not of editing an "encyclopedia". If this were a real encyclopedia, the editor-in-chief
would have been well within his rights to toss both of them out the door for conflict of interest.
And yet, it does not happen.

Elonka's recall criteria are good for a laugh. Sudoku addicts can work out whether there are any circumstances, likely or unlikely, under which those criteria could actually be met.

I'm no seppuku addict but if I think her criteria are more straightforward than this esoteric nonsense.

More gameable, you mean.

Mine are written so that whoever uses them (including myself, or any other admin that adopts them, and there are quite a few) can't game them.

Mathematically impossible you mean. But hey it's your story, tell it like you want.

Let's (hypothetically) see yours, then. I count quite a few admins in the category that adopted mine as written, or adopted significant portions.

The design goal is to not prevent legitimate grievance from being presented, not make it something that the admin saying they are recallable can get out of, so that it has teeth, and yet prevent trolls who are there just for the LULZ or whatever from being able to waste any significant time.

How would you structure criteria and process to achieve that? You're quick to snipe but can you do better? Be specific.

You have to take your hat off to lar. Hes very clever in some ways and seems to be a very nice honest individual. Alas he has one blind spot which is of course wikipeida. He must be made to realise that it only keeps going because of people like him and for his own good and that of all the thousands of wikivictims across the globe he should cease and desist.
