I'm torn here. On the one hand, this is symptomatic of much larger  
problems in RFA - the obsessiveness needed to Googlestalk an RFA  
candidate is simply too far off the deep end. On the other hand,  
Crockspot is a querrelous nutter who shouldn't be given adminship,  
and plenty of !voters recognized that without needing to read his  
racist trash. So while I think this is over the line, I also think it  
makes a crappy test case because Crockspot was never going to make  
admin.
