You have flawed notion that admins don't vandalize or edit war, and that anons and layusers don't step in and correct such abuses.
I never said that they *don't* - that's what RfC and Arbcom are for.
Sometimes they get popular by sharing the same socio-political paradigm. Sometimes they get that way by being boring, and not having been involved in conflict. MOST often they get that way the same way people get popular in school, by chatting alot, and making friends. Which of these shows their inherent abilities as adjudicators?
I would have said that they get popular based on the quality of their skills in contributing to the encyclopedia.
As to this last, I suppose your trolling? Suggestions like that underscore why an clique of net-friends should not have a monopoly on the reigns of power here.
I could ask you the same thing - your attitudes towards admins seem remarkably similar to those of one particularly notorious troll who claimed to be "experimenting" to prove their hypothesis that "admins are evil".
"Power to the people" is a great idea, until you realise that "the people" are idiots.
