Does any other Administrator know less but talk more about how Wikipedia works than this guy?
From a recent visit of his to Wikipediocracy......

The simplest way to avoid a block is to be an asshole that nobody can block.The simplest way to avoid a block is to quietly return to editing without acting like an asshole.
And he will be delighted to know that, I'm sure. In a different world, a parallel universe where Wikipedians aren't objects of hate, Administrators wouldn't even be able to comprehend being in such a mindset, let alone let it govern ow they approach another user.I did not start off by going for the throat. I presented what I had and let Kosh make a fool of himself, as I knew he would.
The guy you were talking to was complaining about Bbb23, and if you paid attention and actually listened to critics, he does actually suck at his job. We can't all be making this shit up, can we? Every person I've heard talk about what Bbb23 does, tells a similar tale.Most admin work is quite boring. If you get into it for the thrills, you’re going to suck at it.
Wikipedia has a quality rating system for articles. It shows just how few Wikipedians are good at writing excellent articles, even under their own standards. Received wisdom is that Administrators are even worse, as a group, at achieving excellence. Sadly there is no way of reviewing their performance, you just have to bite your lip and then do what you did to Kosh. Just like in any other smooth running organisation.Some people are just better in this role than they are at writing articles. We need both to keep this thing running.
