Greetings Townlake. I admire the principled resolve reflected above. I agree with the statements made therein. I came here to comment on your suggestion made on Jimbo's talk page. I agree with your comment's there as well. Do you think an RfC could gain a clear consensus that we prefer Jimbo and his top staff to develop this "RfA fix"? Do you think we should develop an RfC to answer that singular question?

:Thanks for your note. I appreciate your suggestion, but I don't think an RFC would be appropriate. Starting an RFC would mean asking the community to admit its own unproductive efforts for reform didn't work, and that RFC would surely fail.

== RfA move ==


</div>
Since you asked, I felt I should explain but do so here where it is more appropriate. The only reason I moved was to keep it from getting overly threaded, and it was likely to. I moved everything except the original vote for the purpose of not diminishing the vote, the only part that the Bureaucrats are really going to take count of. Lately, all admin have gotten to moving longer threads to the talk page, so it was only within that seemingly established consensus that I did so, again, as to not distract from the vote and allow a freer discussion than might be had on the RfA. In other words, to truly keep the primary page neutral while allowing for maximum freedom of expression. You are always free to just come to my talk page and ask why I do any edit or action, I will always explain. ] - ] ] <small><b>]</b></small> 18:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

**I don't necessarily have a problem with the move, but as a nominator, you shouldn't have been the one to do it. Makes me wonder what else the nominator would do to hide stuff on behalf of the candidate. (No offense to you, I have no pre-existing reason to distrust you.) ] (]) 18:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
***This is why I was painfully obvious in how I did it, with clear summaries. Fortunately, we have edit summaries and histories we can look at, and I assure you that they are looked at painfully close. I do myself on other RfAs and know I'm not the only one. RfAs, even busy ones, have few enough edits in the history that this is easily done. In this case, I removed my own comment and signed that it was me that did the move, so there wouldn't be any confusion. This wasn't "as nom", it was really as an admin. Since Bbb23 was asking a question, it was obvious that it was going to get extended, so the best thing to do what leave only Silvios vote, move everything else, and if Silvio wants to move it back, I wouldn't have balked. If he leaves his vote, or strikes it, or whatever, the talk ''below'' his vote isn't meaningful for the Bureaucrat anyway. Ideally, someone else should have done it, that is true, but since my comment is what started the thread, I thought it would be ok to move as long as I took those clear, documented steps. ] - ] ] <small><b>]</b></small> 19:02, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
****I imagine you meant well, but I don't think you fully appreciate the potential issue here. You can't take off your nominator hat and put on your admin hat to refactor the oppose section; you're wearing your nom hat the whole time in that RFA. It's a bit troubling to see you believe otherwise. ] (]) 19:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
*****To be fair, I didn't refactor anything, I simply moved and documented in as obvious a manner as I possibly could have, including the original statement (which I italicized, Bbb23 changed, so I boxed, as to be clear it was copied). I respect your opinion, and thinking about it, I should have just asked someone to do the move, but there is no way I could have been more obvious or clear in what I did. And it was consistent with other recent RfAs. I expect I will just ask someone else in the future if I feel it should be moved, but I do think there was a very obvious effort to do so in full daylight. ] - ] ] <small><b>]</b></small> 20:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
