Fred-
I have never withdrawn my objection to sysop status for 172. I knew he would abuse his status and he has repeatedly, you are just looking at the tip of the iceberg; most instances result from his leftist POV urge to revise history.
I have not ignored your objection at the time, but it was overridden by Jimbo Wales. If you feel that 172 has "repeatedly" abused his sysop status, please document all instances of him doing so.
Regards,
Erik
