If you disagree with Sam as a sysop, please just do like everyone else (but you) does : vote against Sam.
No. I have removed him again. RfA is *not* a voting page, it operates by consensus, and when it is clear that no consensus will develop, then it is pointless to go through the procedure. It's the same on VfD. Cunctator has been much chastised for removing items on VfD, but I agree with him on that point.
Do you realise what you are saying here? You are saying that if no consensus can be reached on whether or not to delete a page, then you decide that it won't be deleted. What sort of consensus is that?
You seem to think that not deleting a page, or not granting sysop rights, is some sort of "default" value to fall back to when you think consensus cannot be reached -- is that right? If so, when and how has consensus been reached on that?
I don't mind if you remove flames, personal attacks, and anything of the sort, but I think removing a sysop nomination can sometimes come across as rather impertinent.
If they don't want sysop status, then they should remove their own nomination.
