I like to start a survey on who is the worst Wikipedian admin.

I will start the list with my good friend

Gamaliel (T-C-L-K-R-D) , as well as Ryulong (T-C-L-K-R-D)

This should a list of the bad actors of Wikipedia. The world should
know their names.

All of the above. I consider abusive a prime trait.

Abusive is in the eye of the beholder. I'm far happier with a tell-it-like-it-is admin like Tan39 than I am with the creepy Chillum, for instance.

The problem with this post is that I haven't been an admin for nearly a year now.

So clearly Joe's logic is as flawed as his grammar on this site.

I also fully expect a response to this post by Joe to include this bad grammar that I describe as well as some sort of image or YouTube video which he feels will make his point moreso than the vitriolic prose that he'll accompany it with.

On the other websites I visit, this previous statement would usually be prefaced with "inb4".

Oh noes. You have brought up a thread I started in which I ask for assistance in stoping a vandal who has access to dynamic IP address assignment. However shall I defend myself or make some sort of smart retort on the frivolity of your discovery?

Oh wait.

Ah, Ryulong. You've got to admit, you did make some curious decisions in your admin days. Remember the time you were blocking accounts that hadn't been making a sufficient number of mainspace edits, and then you just happened to (unwittingly) do it to an admin, leading you to profusely apologize? That was some pretty funny stuff. And how did you end up losing adminship, anyway?

I feel obliged to point out that the WP:DICK of Distinction award pageant, recently completed for 2009, is focused precisely on this issue.

Vis. Ryulong's lack of a current bit, I wonder whether the question is recent abuse of power, or total, lpng-term damage. I would argue that for all-time damage and abusiveness, Jayjg (T-C-L-K-R-D) 's combination of abuse of power with propaganda-pushing makes him a leading candidate, even though he's barely used his bit in the last year and is now banned from his domain of interest.

At a certain point, this becomes like debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. The array of admin abuses at Wikipedia is a never-ending source of wonder, a kaleidoscopic display of all that is venal and treacherous in human interaction. Once a year, with the DICK of Distinction awards, we attempt to take a sort of snapshot out of the continual flux of admin abuse, but we should not assume that we have captured the true essence of what can only be properly conceived as a truly transcendent pile of dog shit.

The issue of "Dick" ves "worst" I think there is a difference.

VoC rants and raves about Gamaliel, but he also rants and raves about Obama. My primitive heuristics cannot determine how I should process this information.

VoC, are you a chemist?

Is it necessary to be an administrator to be nominated? Because, Bro Tark, I would be happy to nominate you for the dick of the year. I am sure you have done as much as any WP editor to earn it.

But, if everyone just nominates the editors who got in his/her way, it becomes a political vote that has only marginal meaning for WP. In fact, it seems to me that the whole idea just feeds the problem of WP as a political battleground.

Your previous strenuous defense of Jayjg during the case where he was stripped of his OV, CU and access to the functionaries mailing list is hereby noted.
