In 13 years on this site I've never seen a more ridiculous discussion. What are we missing? [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] ([[User talk:Newyorkbrad|talk]]) 17:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:I wish I knew. Is there a history between any of these editors and JzG? Or is it just the usual fetishization of process over outcome, taken to a more-ridiculous-than-usual extreme? (Perhaps with a dash of stick-it-to-any-admin-you-can? There's obviously at least one editor there with a chip on his shoulder.)

::Thanks. I find the whole thing bewildering and demoralizing. It doesn't seem to be an "admins. vs. other editors" issue, since many of those who are insisting on overturning the close and relisting the RfA are experienced administrators—including most of the regular admins who comment on and close DRVs. Usually when I find myself on the opposite side of a lot of Wikipedians I respect, I can at least see the argument for their side of things, but not in this instance. Please continue commenting there, as I don't think I'm going to remain engaged in the discussion without saying something I'll really regret.
