[[WP:NPA]], that's heading for a month now. It's great being a rouge admin :-D
At risk of involving myself in this matter, I have to ask what the difference between rouge and rogue is. Is this simply the difference between an Australian and another spelling. Because I think its perfectly sensible to have a sentence that says "its great being a rogue admin", but I dont see how rouge, which is in my view a colour of makeup, relates to this sentence.
I have no interest in Connolley either.
To me a "rogue" admin admin is one who suddenly goes off the deep end. He may have acted normally for a long while, but then without warning he starts vandalizing for no apparent reason like an elephant who has taken too much LSD.
A "rouge" admin edits from a more than obvious communistic POV. The colour red has traditionally been associated with far left political parties, as in the Khmer Rouge. Colloquially the Soviets were always "The Reds".
