  1. Strongly, as well. He is immature - first, he deleted all his userspace and almost resigned when his arbcom bid failed, then he got recalled and stormed off the project. He is power-hungry, or over-eager for adminship, his request at WP:BN got turned down and he rushes here, with a once-sentence nomination and no mention of the questions as well. I think a lot of the community may be interested in hearing an answer to question #3, for example. And there are reasons that a recall started, and going back after 12 days, of which all were under a different account speaks greatly of immaturity and power-hunger/over-eagerness.

    If I may, I've been a sysop before. There is no real power to hunger for. It is as they say, mopish. I've observed that if you are using the tools to wield power, the community will call you on it. As for the rest, I think we learn. Regards, Mercury 21:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. I agree with Maxim's comments above, the storming off after the ArbCom elections, the silly edit summaries on your talk page, the sudden leaving, then coming straight here after WP:BN is not a good sign. Qst 22:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

  1. For now at least, I'm still thinking. While I opposed the recall, I think the early closing was in poor form. Mr.Z-man 22:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
    It was very poor form, and if this were a sport(it is not a sport), I would have garnered a yellow card. I'm embarrassed by my behavior. Regards, Mercury 22:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. Neutral Leaning Towards Support I'm thinking. The closure of Angela's AfD, and the evidence presented in the recall are enough to warrant substantial thought about outright support in your favour, but there's little evidence of any significant abuse with the tools in the past.
