QUOTE(A Horse With No Name @ Tue 8th November 2011, 2:39pm) 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. He's doing the mediation of the Holodomor case I'm currently involved in. Aside from the fact that it's taking a long time (which these things always do), I am actually quite impressed with him there.

He was himself a "teenage idiot", and may still be for all I know. Why believe one set of lies but not another? Idiot, still a bit; teenage, not for a few years, if I recall correctly.

QUOTE(A Horse With No Name @ Thu 10th November 2011, 10:51am) QUOTE(that one guy @ Thu 10th November 2011, 9:12am) 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.
It is not hard for bad boys admins to regain their bits after a spell of mischief. Fat boy GlassCobra knowingly nominated a sockpuppet for adminship, got his adminship taken away, and then crassly demanded the tools back - and he got them. Chet had some friends pulling for him privately - there was no "community" debate. Peter went through another RfA without problems - quite different from Steve's hassle. Not to mention Peter eventually got steward. And what was this GlassCobra incident? o_o

this it the Undertow/Law thing or something else?
B-I-N-G-O! By the way, doesn't Steve have a sexy wife? I think he changed his surname to hers after he hooked up with her. Any intriguing photos of the wonderful young Mrs. Steve? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif) Nope, none that are online. Kinda plan on keeping it that way too. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

There did appear to be some canvassing from the opposers. I hope Steve doesn't feel too bad about this. RfA is stressful enough without the crap that he got put through.

I had a sense that there may have been a bit of canvassing going on. The editor that came back after 11 months to oppose me, and the retired editor set it off. But these things are hard to prove. Ah well, not much I can do. Shit happens (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif)
