I'm short on time tonight. 1. If proxy usage by admins is "extra" wrong as you contend — and I agree, I really do — shall we check every single existing admin or higher account for them, to see if anyone is breaking this cardinal rule that is already in power? Yes or no? If no, why not? 2. If one is using proxies, immediate revocation of all extra-special access for violating Foundation policy, admin or higher. Admin. B'cat. Checkuser. Steward. Clearly, as indicated by Slim and Jay on Charlotte's RFA, such peoople have *NO* business with the tools. Yes or no? If no, why not? 3. Will both of you agree to immediate CheckUsering, reviewed by multiple other checkusers/Foundation staff, and if you are found to be using proxies, this is disclosed on-Wiki? Yes or no. If no, why not? Given the nasty ruckus you initiated--and I was only one of the first to draw attention to it; others were already after your actions on-Wiki--this demands clear non-evasive answers from both of you to all three very easy and clear questions. I am assuming you will both answer in Good Faith, as you both on-Wiki stand by the No Open Proxies ideal very firmly. I support this policy as well. Will you stand by your convictions? Failing to answer is an option, but it would cast a serious pall if you were unwilling to obey and endorse the same rules, policies, and end results you have wrought on others. Others may feel free to answer, or offer to be checked if they are admins, of course.
