One editor opposes adminship on the grounds that Herostratus has some nicely executed fake "categories" on his user page:
Categories: Wikipedians who have a crowbar embedded in their skull | Wikipedians who insist that the word "lobster" be included in every article | Carbon-based life forms | Wikipedians who are Floyd Alvis Cooper | Delightfully insouciant Wikipedians | Animated cartoon squirrels
Others think that his use of non-standard warnings means he doesn't take vandalism seriously enough (does every admin have to be at the forefront of the fight against vandalism?)
I can understand people choosing not to vote for admins they don't admire, but opposing on these weird grounds is... well, weird.

Those fake cats are awesome! /me scurries off to add'em to userpage. They won't work under blue cologne, but unfortunately not that many people use it, anyway.
