I discovered the stupidness of RFA when I nominated Mac

rejected because (1) he made a copyvio in his second edit! OMG (2)He
doesn't go on AFD (3) He's 14 (not because he's immature, becuase he's
14. One editor said that hs deny vote was based solely on his gae,
regardless of maturity) and (4) He made it so that when you roll over
his signature, it makes a crosshair. See

from the devil.
I hardly recognize any names among those who voted.
I find some of the age discrimination comments highly objectionable. I
see them on a par with sexism or racism; bold action may be required to
bring these guys under control.
The AfD question shouldn't be allowed at all; it seems directed toward
insuring a gang of admins who will think in the one way which they
consider politically correct.
Those there who put so much emphasis on vandal fighting seem to forget
that the aim of Wikipedia is to write an encyclopedia.
