Without those ordinary "idiots" you wouldn't have an encyclopedia to
play in. Your resort to an ad hominem (and an absurd and unresearched
one at that, how about you look into me and who I am before making
attacks) clarifies the quality of your argument.

I never said that they *don't* - that's what RfC and Arbcom are for.
Sometimes they get popular by sharing the same
socio-political
paradigm. Sometimes they get that way by being boring, and not having
been involved in conflict. MOST often they get that way the same way
people get popular in school, by chatting alot, and making friends.
Which of these shows their inherent abilities as adjudicators?
I would have said that they get popular based on the quality of their
skills in contributing to the encyclopedia.
As to this last, I suppose your trolling?
Suggestions like that
underscore why an clique of net-friends should not have a monopoly on
the reigns of power here.
I could ask you the same thing - your attitudes towards admins seem
remarkably similar to those of one particularly notorious troll who
claimed to be "experimenting" to prove their hypothesis that "admins are
evil".
"Power to the people" is a great idea, until you realise that "the
people" are idiots.
