edits I made over a year ago without having created a login.
Quite the guffaw around my keyboard, I can assure
you.
Jim Cecropia, please note this. Your apologetics for
him can end now.

Well, that's kind of a tepid smoking gun. I thought you were going to
catch him admitting he was Usama bin Laden or something.
If you've read my posts, I've made two points: (1) I believe in
engaging "problem" users, not banning them; I've said much the same
about others users (172, GBWR, Rei come to mind) that I've been at
polar opposites with; (2) 3RR is a new and abusive procedure in a
Wikipedia that is moving to control minority users instead of
improving the content.
Your post here illustrates part of the problem. If you can "prove"
Blair is a bad guy (and assert that I am trying to "prove" him a good
guy) you don't have to deal with the substantive issues. I think
that's called a straw man, and a sort of convoluted way of begging the
question.

Did I ever vote "Support" for your adminship? I hope so! Cause then I
would have been proved correct in my judgement of your suitability as an
admin.
