Yeah, that is really an old story and a dead horse that we don't need to keep beating.

I could beat this one a bit. Since our self-confessed renaissance man was heavily pushed by Essjay in 2005 for admin, and somebody (okay, it was Mysekurity (T-C-L-K-R-D) ) voted (gag-me):

"Support as per Essjay (in all things, unto Essjay)" sick.gif yak.gif yecch.gif

Voted for, by our own former Kool Aid drinker Doc glasgow! (can't diagnose em all, Doc, but your Glasgow score here is again 3).

Strongly opposed for adminship by Antaeus Feldspar (T-C-L-K-R-D) for probably still being an unreformed Rawat POV-pusher. ermm.gif Gosh, who else could have guessed?

Here's your blast from the Wiki-past, October 15, 2005:

happy.gif Suggestion: run like crazy from anybody who tells you that they're a renaissance man. Do I have to explain it? tongue.gif

I would hope and guess anyone with equivalent - disclosed - cult connections would never make it through RfA today.

Especially after him and Scientology. We had him round the Brahma Kumari topics naturally taking sides with those cultists, and being allowed to remove himself from arbcoms despite clearly playing a part in it all.

It is one rule for admins and one rule for the rest.
