Why are you asking here? But yes I do.

*Temporarily* de-sysoped. To be reinstated he is going to have to demonstrate
that he won't abuse his sysop user rights in the future. So far he seems to
indicate that he thinks that he didn't do anything wrong. That is an issue.

No - it means that after this is over I'm going to put LIr through the same
process in order to try to resolve the dispute many people have with him. Each
of these cases takes a lot of time - I can't do more than one at a time.

Interesting given his repeated deletion of the RfC page on him.

Perhaps - that is up to 168. I'm fine with you declaring that mediation is not
possible and referring the matter to Jimbo (who would then have to decide
whether or not to give it to the arbitration committee).

All still issues, yes.

Why can't we just do all this at the bbs site? It's not private but then it
isn't much viewed either.
