":What you say is all well and good, but there's a catch: it only applies is the person being persecuted is in fact being persecuted for bogus reasons. Remove much of the sniping and the slander and the pedophilia accusatories, and you find that Will's tenure as an admin was more exemplified by his rash decisions followed by abuse of admin powers to back up his decisions. Having personally been on the receiving end of his ""don't argue with me or I'll ban you"" style of administration, it's clear that he simply wasn't mature enough to be given such responsibilities, period.

But who knows? Maybe when he matures he'll use the experience properly and return to help out Wikipedia one day in a far more constructive capacity. I won't hold my breath, but again, who knows? He might surprise all of us.
