Ritchie uploaded a picture to Commons that was an obvious copyright violation. Slam dunk obvious. He has a history of doing that. When it was rightfully deleted, he flipped the fuck out and insulted the Commons Administrators. He has a history of doing that too. So far, so Ritchie. But hey, we all know the sort of ignorant tempestuous fool who has previously been able to make Wikipedia Administrator on trust. By a landslide btw. Check it out - lots of supporters saying similar things as in this RfA, plus of course RexxS supporting "without reservations". Drmies wanted Ritchie promoted because he wanted help on copyright investigations.

Worse than his usual fare, this time, his blood boiling, psycho Ritchie came back to his home wiki and sought out the Super-Troll and copyright ignoramus Giano, knowing his history of all out warfare against Commons, to see if there was some way they could team up to destroy them out of revenge. Just what you want from the Wikipedia Administration (and a task many of them enthusiastically engage in).
Now, RexxS by no means comes out of this incident looking like the worst person at the party. But when judging him by the standards of even a sort of OK Administrator, his brief contribution was less than helpful. He had nothing to say about Ritchie's behaviour. Why would you? Can't be upsetting your friends like that. Because RexxS either didn't spot it was a copyright violation, or just didn't care, his recommendation to Ritchie was to upload the file locally to Wikipedia, and use the {Keep Local} template, which was invented to shield Giano from the consequences of his ignorance, to apparently make sure it never gets deleted. He even hinted at a fair use exemption, which in this case clearly doesn't apply.
It's stuff like that which puts much needed context as to why RexxS was earlier seen talking absolute utter bollocks about copyright to justify why he was fucking around with copyright tags on Giano's images, causing and then needlessly extending a pointless dispute, whose best solution was going back in time and not letting Giano be such a privelaged little fuck, and actually make him learn what he is supposed to learn if he wants to upload images. Bishonen of course, is a massive reason why Giano has a special exemption to everything. RexxS the Administrator will presumably join her in that effort.
It's amazing to me to think Fram, a massive hardliner on copyright, is honorably sitting this one out, believing his history of dispute with RexxS makes him unsuitable to judge his suitability as an Administrator. It's a shame people like Ritchie don't do the same. Ritchie, of course, wants Fram desysopped for incompetence. What was that about Dunning-Kruger effect? You fucking prats.
On this evidence, I'd say RexxS, much like Ritchie, might never actually learn the basics of copyright, much less take it as seriously as they should be. They only ever seem to see it as an obstacle, to be overcome. They act like being familiar with even the basics (and these two incidents were the very basics, most issues are way more complicated), is somehow too much of an onerous task for content creators. For obvious reasons, Wikipedia needs Administrators like that like they need a hole in the head.
