This especially concerns me as you used your administrative powers to enforce your minority view in a disagreement in which you were very actively involved. Wouldn't it have been better to let somebody who had less involvement decide the outcome?
This is becoming more and more epidemic in recent weeks. It's one of the major reasons why I'm seriously considering not contributing further.
You're leaving because I dared use my l33t admin powers to delete in process an odious pretense at a dispute resolution page under the rules regarding the colour it assumed in its claim for legitimacy, *despite* a lynch mob feeling otherwise. How dare I!
It was a lynch mob page. It was only made an RFC to give it colour of legitimacy. Unfortunately, it failed even those rules and should have been killed yesterday. The wacky move of moving it to Essjay's userspace doesn't change that - uncertified RFCs are only kept in userspace at the subject's explicit request. If it's an RFC, it lives or dies like one.
Of course, that's nothing compared to people denied a hanging party, as you say.
