*'''Strong Vouch''' - I don't think it's a secret that Mis and I got along pretty well, even when we were busy disagreeing vehemently with one another, so this vouch should come as no surprise. I always liked having him around as a sysop, because he was a no-nonsense sysop who wasn't afraid to speak his mind, didn't put up with BS, used a great deal of common sense in his approach (his opinions in debates, while oftentimes harshly stated, are just as often like a breath of fresh air in a hot and stale room), and knew enough about the rules to not make a fool of himself (EDIT: that wasn't intended as a back-handed insult aimed at anyone). He's definitely taken a more liberal stance towards precedents in recent months, but he has reasons for doing so. Also, his motives for nominating himself right now may be slightly clouded (I get the strong sense that he nominated himself because he wants to be able to vote on things again), but that doesn't change the fact that I have an unwavering confidence in his ability to act faithfully and capably as a sysop. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:33, 10 July 2011 (BST)
*:To be fair, if you like the fact that mis is strong and opinionated, then his desire to be able to vote on things again is surely a good thing?--[[User:Yonnua Koponen|<span style="color: DarkOrange">Yonnua Koponen</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Yonnua Koponen| <span style="color:Gold">T</span>]][[DvB| <span style="color: Goldenrod">G</span>]]</sup><sup><span class="plainlinks">[http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=840689 <span style="color: DarkGoldenrod"> P</span>] </span></sup> [[User:Yonnua Koponen/Sandbox|<span style="color: Red">^</span>]][[Discosaurs|<span style="color: Red">^</span>]][[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Donkey|<span style="color: Red">^</span>]] 00:05, 11 July 2011 (BST)
*::I apologize in advance, but I'm a bit unclear on what you're asking. If you're asking me if his strong opinions and an apparent desire to vote are sending up red flags for me, the answer is no, they are not. If anything, those are marks of a good sysop, though both need to be taken in moderation lest we have a crusade on our hands (and even a crusade isn't always a bad thing, though it does tend to create drama). I don't like sysops who are afraid to say what needs to be said or are unwilling to take a stand when it needs to be done, and having a desire to participate in administrative affairs is basically a qualification for the job, which means that it isn't problematic (the motivation behind the desire is what can be a problem). That said, if people go off the deep end with both of those, then sure, that's can create a lot of drama around here. I don't think Mis has gone nearly that far, however, and as I said, I trust him to act faithfully and capably in the performance of sysop duties, just as he did before. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:09, 11 July 2011 (BST)
*:::Umm, no.
