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.
