I don't know which side is more disturbing at the moment.
I'm torn here. On the one hand, this is symptomatic of much larger
problems in RFA - the obsessiveness needed to Googlestalk an RFA
candidate is simply too far off the deep end. On the other hand,
Crockspot is a querrelous nutter who shouldn't be given adminship,
and plenty of !voters recognized that without needing to read his
racist trash. So while I think this is over the line, I also think it
makes a crappy test case because Crockspot was never going to make
admin.

Well, he has 70+ supports which surely didn't come out of nowhere. And
since his '''on-wiki''' behaviour appears to be acceptable,
there's no
obvious '''on-wiki''' reason this RfA couldn't --or
shouldn't, for that
matter-- have passed - or why another RfA in several months wouldn't.
