How do you go from being the guy edit who wars with a fellow Admin over the contents of their talk page, with a nonsensical reason at that, to being the guy who one day later politely asks their permission to undo one of their admin actions, which he vehemently disagreed with, hence the edit war, and then even protects the very same Administrator's talk page when it's being edit warred over by a disruptive IP user over an unrelated issue?

Hi, got an email from SchroCat saying although he's been unblocked he can't edit because of an autoblock on UtterBuffoon. Can I lift it? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:00, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Not right in the head, this bloke.
Not to mention this typically barbed comment aimed at the same admin in the post he was trying to keep on their page over their objections....
I'm seriously contemplating standing for checkuser this year on a "who watches the watchmen?" ticket. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Lots of potential explanations for what he thinks he's doing, how he thinks these actions would be perecieved, by his admin colleagues, the user he was trying to help, and the wider community. None of them paint him in a good light at all.
The edit warring and threats alone are disqualifying. The attempts to make nice a day later without even acknowledging what he had done, is evidence he is either tempestuous, duplicitous, or just plain crazy.
We know Ritchie already struggles with knowing where he is half the time, mistaking Wikipedia for Facebook or his personal blog. Maybe he struggles to remember his own actions, from one day to the next?
His nemesis here, Bbb23, is a Wikipedia Shit Lord of the highest order. But not for a second do you ever get the impression he has a screw loose.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Crazy people fighting evil people. And that's just the cops!
And it all happens with nobody else wanting to get involved, all pretending like it isn't happening at all, from the Police Commissioner right on down to the fresh new recruits. Although the latter is understandable, many having been groomed for power by the crazy one.
