supporting for it and others opposing for it. It was universally acknowledged that the candidate approached contributing here in a different way than most editors, but whether this was constructive or destructive was similarly split. Reading through the opposition, I was not convinced that most people were opposing just for the sake of the user being different.
52:
The main difficulty was adjusting for certain effects and trends that occur, which I like to call the "maverick effect" and the "tenure effect." The maverick effect is quite simple: A user with viewpoints considered to be nonstandard or less supported, or a different methodology in approaching things
64:
The degree of support/oppose polarization is always something to look at as well. There was a rather small neutral section in comparison with previous so-called "controversial" RFAs, and though there were changing views the opposition was uniformly firm in opposing. The support was similarly firm in
56:
Now the latter manifests itself in appeals to relatively distant edits and generalized characterizations of personality. I did see aspects of the second, but not as much of the first. In fact, the points most repeated in the opposition were related to a very recent incident, not to other longer-term
94:
I have only one quibble - it wasn't tl;dr. Anyone with over four years and 30K edits, plus over 100 expressions of support deserves no less than a thoughtful analysis. I didn't find the time I needed to add a !vote, but I did read much of the commentary, and it was clear this wouldn't be a simple

The maverick effect is more difficult to sort out. Generally a candidate will moderate their stance a bit for RFA, but certain behaviors, I think, made this effect quite visible. The self-posed optional questions most clearly demonstrated this point, creating a polarized response, with some

From a numerical perspective, the percentage was 64%, which by historical precedent is not successful. Promotions at this percentage or below have been rare and contentious. My initial reaction after a skim and a reading straight through was to request a

tends to attract a good amount of support and opposition. The tenure effect is even simpler: The longer a user edits, the more likely they are to make "questionable" edits or to start a beef with someone, intentional or unintentional.

TL;DR: This RFA pretty clearly demonstrated a no consensus result. Arguments were supported with actual events, and both sides had a rather large mass with relatively few people in the middle.

behaviors (e.g. "the multiple retirements, and the near-complete lack of adminly experience"). As a result, I was not convinced that there were serious long-term grudges in the opposition.

I also applaud your post
Bibliomaniac. It shows great integrity and good practice to discuss your reasoning so carefully in a contested RfA such as this.

Agreed with the rationale and the result. Thank you for performing this laborious task, and then having the stamina to document the process.
