Boing! and Drmies were unfortunate losses, albeit we got Drmies back. And then we have incompetent admins like Sjakkalle closing the thread as "block is endorsed as one month per consensus" and abusing rollback and edit warring, which should've lead to a block and/or desysop. But Eric doesn't give a shit about the block. It is extended to indef by Scottywong out of request during anger and is reversed by Floquenbeam in good faith. Finally, after eternity, INeverCry reverses it and is reversed by Prodego and despite the forming consensus, INC re-unblocks and is thus hypocritically taken to Arbcom by Kww. INeverCry resigns and Kww then makes more stupid ideas and remains a shitty admin who does not know how to be an admin. He is called a pathetic prick and told off by Giano and has no one agreeing with him and he doesn't get it. We only continue to have the shitty admins. Took ya a few RfA'sto become a sysop, eh Kww?
Oliver Keyes, Ashley van Haeften, Scott Bibby.
That's off my short list.
The WMF should pay our hosting fees for the good work we do.
Hello, John. John, hello. You're the one soul I would come up here to collect myself.

I will say this in Kww's defense: I like the thoroughness with which he has publicly spanked the brain trust behind the VisualEditor debacle.
Other than that, though...

Quite so. And likewise with contributors; because the good ones leave in disgust.
I wonder if anyone at WP is listening yet?

Are we essentially the crazy guests at the Mad Hatter's tea party blaming the March Hare for screwing up Wonderland?

Especially when it was the Hare hosting the party, not the Hatter.

I sliced off the posts that involved hissing and spitting and obscene suggestions and put them in the trash, including my own.
Back on topic please.
