I am quite offended you would label me in this way, as part of an
"anti-admin lobby". I made this proposal in good faith as a way to
*improve* Wikipedia as it would increase the number of vandal fighters!
You are accusing me of whinging? Whatever happened to assume good faith?
I find this incredibly bad form of you, and even more shocking that you
are one of the people who forms the Arbitration Committee who regularly
rules that "no personal attacks" is one of Wikipedia's key policies.

Let me remind you that I have never voted on requests for adminship
before, and that I have never insulted or in any way had a confrontation
with any Wikipedia admin. Do you have any proof of these accusations?

The only person to make such ridiculous claims as an 'anti-admin lobby'
and 'me whinging' is you. Maybe you have strong feelings about that -
but that is certainly no reason to attack or insult others in this way.

Chris
