No, I couldn't think of any better reasons either.

Putting aside your claim that Ottava dislikes you, could you give us some diffs to support the claim that you are an outstandingly WP:DICK administrator? From my personal experience I vaguely recall some times I thought that you acted like a bozo, but it seemed like your intent was to be fair. Just the fact that you don't hide your real name rules out internet fuckwad accusations against you. You even have a life in the real world. What's not to like? (Maybe some good diffs could improve your chances of appearing bad.)

Of course, you completely buy into all the Wikipedia bullshit rules, but this seems not the place to re-evaluate WP's dysfunctional policies.

Here is one example: even though LessHeard is an admin, he came to WR and used pictures to mock Wikipedians (like Durova) instead of pursuing anything that would fix Wikipedia.

It s a dick move for admin to use WR to make attacks that would get them blocked/banned on Wikipedia.

Who cares when Wikipediot admin fight, All Admins are responsible for the savage environment in wikipedia. The are two classes of admins, ones who do evil, and the ones that enable the evil, by inaction. Either way, evil on Wikipedia flourishes and does harm to the internet at large.

The point is that he uses WR to attack others and continue to game Wikipedia. He should be blocked and have to deal with his jerkiness or, gasp, they stop making bs incivility blocks. LessHeard is more incivil than someone like Malleus, but Malleus has the balls to make his statements on Wiki.

I don't care where I am Ottava. I have the balls to make my statements wherever I happen to be if I believe them to be apposite and necessary, and bugger the consequences. It'll probably be the death of me one day.
