I believe that Jimbo told Kelly to do whatever she
wants to stop the spreading of userboxes. I don't
think Kelly would take on so much authority on herself
and block everyone to the right and to the left for
almost nothing. She also said that users break the
consensus on not using userboxes. What consensus? I
saw more people voting against her because of how she
handled the userbox conflict, than against the
userboxes themselves. And while everyone bumps their
head against each other, the emperor admires his new
clothes.
Lastly, I will say that Kelly seems like a cold person
who never tries to communicate with others on their
level, or on any level. She likes to keep a distance
between herself and others. If such is the case, why
then take on a dead that requires you to make a good
effort to communicate? No-one likes an "Ice Queen".

It's common for the anti-userbox crowd to say
stuff
like
"stop stressing out over it, it's just userboxes,
not
real encyclopedia content". Well, the reason that I
don't
follow that line of thinking is that it never stops
at
just one abuse. It keeps building and building. We
currently have about half a dozen admins who show
repeated and blatant defiance for Wikipedia's
community
and the consensus of that community. They are not
large
in number, but they have a disproportionate amount
of
influence, almost entirely malign. They are a living
argument for why we need a working desysopping
process.
Our project's most destructive administrator, Kelly
Martin, has now stepped into the realm of voter
intimidation, by *blocking* [[User:Grue]] for a
support
vote on [[User:Djr xi]]'s Request for Adminship. The
excuse was "personal attacks", even though the vote
in
question did not mention anyone by name. This is a
blatant attempt to intimidate voters on this request
for adminship.
Kelly Martin has done far more to harm Wikipedia
than
Willy on Wheels ever could. By firing the first shot
in the userbox wars, she is basically the Gavrilo
Princip of Wikipedia. Frankly, even if you gave
Willy sysop powers, I doubt that he could do more
damage than our worst sysops are doing right now.
These
people are like hyperactive children given a machine
gun and it is time to take their toys away before
more
people get hurt.
I'm more disgusted by all of this than I can
possibly
express.
