RFA never fails to produce FAILs. Here's the latest specimen of idiocy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...CenturyDriver_2

"Also, in the past 27 months, candidate has averaged a little over 84 edits a month, and not the 100 they stated. ArcAngel (talk) ) 19:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)"

For this you're opposing? The fellow (BuickCenturyDriver, famous for the password hacking incident which he references in Q3) has been editing 3 years now, and you're nitpicking how many edits per month? Actually, I might have noted it myself, but I would have clarified that I wasn't opposing on the basis of 1/6 fewer edits per month than stated. 100 is approximately right. Seriously, folks, lighten up. Or find something more useful to do.

Rod apparently said some rather disagreeable things and made some threats against Arbcom, all of which Risker oversighted and Arbcom immediately closed the case as a indefinite block of Rod, without even dealing with what the case was about at all.

Actually, they suspended it until April 7, then closed it a few days later.
