[WikiEN-l] RfA concern

Sounds like an irc star. That would explain a fan club. I can't stand  
irc, but I have no objection to folks who can constructively banter  
becoming administrators. They are skilled communicators. It is a lot  
harder for a sensible hard-headed person to become liked than for  
someone who is well liked to become a capable administrator. It seems  
reasonable to me. Creating good new articles is not one of the duties  
of an administrator anyway.
