Gazimoff retires, One less admin, one less AC clerk Options

[LaraLove]

I can't find the thread that all these were being discussed in, so if a mod can please move it, that'd be great. Thanks.

So Gazimoff (T-C-L-K-R-D) was the admin who created WP:RREV, the full scale analysis of RFA following RFA/DHMO 3. I believe it was a greatly needed review and I looked forward to the results and possible revamping of the process. Unfortunately, Durova got involved, spouted off her opinion, which basically fell under WP:CHIPSLAW, and it all went downhill from there. Thanks, Durova. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif) Of all the pointless discussion going on around the project that you love to needlessly interject yourself in, it's THIS, which actually served a purpose, that you decided needed to be shutdown? Someone file this as an example of her grand lack of self-awareness.

Anyway, he was also an ArbCom clerk, but has now resigned and retired as seen here.

Soon after standing in an election?
Did he need to spend more quality time with his family?

Not quite. Arbcom clerks aren't elected, only Arbcom members.

Damn skippy it's about Gazimoff, so sit down, son.

Hey, I'm quite content to sit back and let you two get on with it (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

Yeah, I was wondering what SoaY meant...anyway, Gazimoff was never a full clerk, only a clerk trainee.

The trainees are still passed by and receive the casual assent of the Committee, so the difference between the trainees and the 'full' Clerks is minimal...actually, to be honest, I think there's little difference between them, except for the whole 'mentorship' angle.

I'd love it if Lara could stop trying to drag my name though the mud at every chance possible. I don't think anyone ever has insulted, belittled, attacked and bullied me in ways she has done.

I'm wondering if I should take this as a slight on my be-an-[alleged]-dick-to-Wikipedians skills which are [allegedly] so well respected...j/k (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

I don't know exactly where this thread has gone, and to be frank I don't care who kills who. But can I wish Gazimoff my best wishes for the future - a truly inspiring workmate. All the best, mate.
