It's a shame, but she only had a couple of months to go before her longstanding pledge to give up the mop after two years kicked in anyway.

Yeah, the timing of this was intentional – it was actually meant to be three months before the 2nd anniversary, in line with my "admins should always be desysopped for at least three months of every two years" arguments, but I'd misremembered the date. As I said at the time, there's no interesting back story here, I'm afraid.

So you'll ressume it after your break then? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Meh. I'm not going to do a storm-off-in-a-sulk walkout; if there was a good reason for me to have admin rights back, I'd at least temporarily request them back (at some point myself and Kbthompson (T-C-L-K-R-D) promised that we'd go through the slurry of Category:Unknown-importance London-related articles and clear out the obvious unsalvageable crap and irredeemable spam for instance). I actually never did very many admin actions other than routine maintenance, so I can't see many situations where I'd actually want them.

What, you aren't going to put yourself forward in another RfA? I would love to see those chickens come home to roost! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

Hmmm, well, it wouldn't be original now, would it. Anyhoo, since the leaving is not under a cloud why not request return of the tools and promptly use them to devastating effect against some unwary antagonist? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

Another RFA would be very stupid indeed. Then again it would show if she still has trust in the community RFA voters' minds.

If I were coming back "substantively" (i.e., not to do one particular non-contentious task) I would. (I suspect there wouldn't be as much opposition as you'd think, other than the Civility Police and possibly Shalom.) The odds of that are fairly unlikely in the current climate, though; there's not much going on that I'd actually have a use for any of the admin functions, and I can happily live without the endless stream of "why did you delete this page on my band!" complaints.

No, there wouldn't be as much as I think -- there would probably be more. It would be a reprise of what Alex went through times two, since your sarcasm is far more cutting than anything Alex could create and RfA people have lost their adoration for that kind of shit.

No. I actually think Iridescent wouldn't have that much of a prob. Iri has a somewhat brusque personality and editing style, but she can also be hilarious if you're not on the receiving end, and what she says even if she has a go at you often makes sense to you if you get past the way it's delivered. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) She has plenty of wiki-friends.
