Majorly had an unsuccessful nomination that closed on 5 April 2007. The nomination was withdrawn by Majorly. He withdrew with the statement, "This does not have a chance of passing. I agree and admit to being confrontational, but I thought that I could be trusted to view others opinions. Some of the comments have been fair; some not, some just really hurtful, the kind I'd like to see banned from RfAs. There's several people I knew would oppose me, but not this much, and it's quite funny how they say I should assume good faith morer, when they are not themselves. I'm probably one of the top five users active on RfAs; I've commented in hundreds, been pleased to nominate 10+ new admins, and even though I carefully explained why I question people, it seems certain users do not want me as a Bureaucrat. There's 5 other nominations up at this time - mine has the honour of being the only one to fail, so I'm going to close it early, since it hasn't the slightest chance when people oppose others as willingly as they do. It's ironic, the guy who tries to eliminate horrible, unhelpful opposes gets a load of them thrown back in his face. Ah well...".

Why is this relevant at all? SalaSkan (Review me) 01:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we have commentary on, and a large quotation from, an April RFB? This article is terribly confusing and badly laid out imho. --kingboyk 23:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
