It has been ages since I've paid any attention to the RfA drama machine Taking a look this afternoon, I see that the artist formerly known as Steve Crossin (who famously played "borrow my mop" with Peter Symonds and Chet Long a few years ago) is back at it.

Steve is a nice guy and he got the short end of the stick as part of that idiotic escapade with those teenage idiots. I would like to imagine that he'd spend his time in pursue of more meaningful adventures - but if he gets adminship, it would be a welcome sign of a nice guy who (for once) wins the Wiki-game.

Well half the opposes were of the "OMG WE CAN'T TRUST HIM PERIOD" sort of sense. The other half was really "dude, you only came back 6 months ago, want to see a bit more time before I can support you given your past". He is one of the better people on there and really a very cool head in terms of his actions on wiki. What I really don't get though is why is it harder for him to get adminship than it was for Chet and Peter to get theirs back? I remember the fall out from it but I don't recall exact details.

You left out another major issue starting with oppose 9. Apparently he has too many "friends" and yammers on IRC too much so add ZOMG IRC ADMIN to the mix.
