I am not targetting them simply as they are the ones--Slim and Jay--that are
keen to roil RFA to make it much harder for "new" admins to come in, yet
there is no talk of ensuring/enforcing such things to all admins--new and
old. I know nothing of secret information here, on this case, yet, that
others do not. I am not going to ask again for the questions, but the
general evasiveness and deflection of answers has been problematic here.
However, there is NO reason what's good for the RFA goose isn't good for the
established gander.

They feel that "new" admins shouldn't get the bit if they use/have used TOR
or open proxies in the past. I can agree with this. The question is, will
they assert to stand by those convictions and have themselves be tested.
They need not reply to *this* email, as it is preferred they give answers to
the three simple questions.

Short: all we hear is ensuring new admins this, and that. No where do we see
talk of pursuing/checking old admins for such things. Why is that? I wish to
AGF, but it seems quite plainly like a further attempt to ensure that
established "core community" are more special than everyone else.
