Hey, what’s the buzz with Davidwr and his alleged shaky past? Balloonman and some of the Wiki RfA addicts are trying to push him into adminship, but there seems to be some dark Wiki secret that’s keeping him from stepping forward. His statements in the WT:RfA makes it seem that there would be off-Wiki damage if his on-Wiki wackiness became known. Anyone have a clue as to what he’s hiding?

Kato's suspicions are dead-on.

I'm not following the Shapiro10 aspect. I understand that davidwr make some irresponsible comments about "his right" to child pornography, but how does the kid at the "meet-up" fit in?

The mixture of ubber tolerance of everything from pedophilia and child pornography to bestiality will and a social platform for both children and adults is dangerous beyond description. It is to child protection what Bernie Madoff was to investment. Someday people will be held to account for why they ignored such glaring warning signs.
