And that's why they don't comment here. On WPO also only a few of them.

There's one last channel of communication for criticisms too bellicose for publication in the Signpost: Wikipediocracy. It's a cesspool of bile, full of bitter trolls and their coat-tail riders; yet many serious Wikimedians seem to read it regardless—members of groups including community administrators, arbitrators, Foundation community teamsters, and even Signpost editorial board members. The problem is that as Wikipedia editors we're all implicitly supporters, and so Wikipediocracy's indulgences—its rants, triviality, and personal nastiness—are reluctantly tolerated for the sake of gleaning a sense of the magnitude of the issues facing the projects. It’s well-acknowledged that sometimes Wikipediocracy has a point; and as the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. In terms of material accepted, Wikipediocracy is a Chaotic Evil to the WM Blog's Lawful Good: as long as your post is sufficiently negative, it will be accepted. Better and less speculative writings ought be tried in the Signpost first, though, since it, being a publisher with some repute in the community, would not make your writing immediately suspicious by its choice of venue.

So am I and it would be great if they showed up here, Steln. Because for both of the gentlemen I still have a lot of unanswered questions I want to ask them and not to there shitty lackey's. Because with them I have no business and nothing to do, they all can walk to the hell. I simple refuse to talk with them.

Example question:
How come Bbb23 is still an administrator after long-term coarse violations?
Kumioko wrote:I wholeheartedly agree that Bbb23 needs to be taken down and I do believe it will happen eventually. The question is how much damage he will do until then. He is blocking so many accounts and IP's with his warrantless sock hunts that it's nearly impossible for a new user to even create an account anymore.

It's total error to focus on a single admin and from what I've seen, Bbb23 is far from the worst.
