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.

Ummmm... Er... I do that reverting vandalism on Jimbo's page, I do a lot of AIV blocking - which means I get to swing the club and blame the reporter when things go wrong..., I am friendly with RodhullandEmu... Fuck it, aren't you supposed to be the guys who have all the details on the dodgey stuff? Ask Ottava, he was the nominator!
