Hmm. Are you by any chance a supporter of [[Wikipedia:Ignore all rules]]? I was under the impression that a prerequisite of having sysop status was agreeing to follow the policies. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Still, even if it isn't, I don't think it sets a good example to say that you are going to ignore a policy. Perhaps it would be better if you were to argue for it to be made explicitly optional?
I agree with the sentiments expressed by Oliver here -- not that I dont understand Eriks comment as tongue in cheek ;)-- but Erik's recent "unilateral removal" of RK from nomination was a bit too "unilateral" -- as such a philosophy of unilateralism tends to contradict the more general notions of voting, democracy, and so forth.
That said, his action was only wrong in that it was too much in good taste (as my attempt was half-baked) and his comments were the catalyst that caused me to be more thoughtful about the issue and make a more serious campain for RK's sysopdom.
Jeez - was Dubya "right" to just go ahead and invade Iraq after all? -S-
