#'''Oppose'''. Obsessive and annoying busybody behavior is bad enough; obsessive and annoying busybody behavior enabled by admin tools? Uh uh. --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 02:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

#'''Oppose''' - I have a nagging bad feeling about this candidate. Too often, his personality has struck me as agressive or abrassive. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Aaron_Brenneman&oldid=37789768 user page] contains a box of "nervous" users linked to [[occult]], and at least some of these editors Aaron has evidently had significant conflicts with. The findings in the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Webcomics|Webcomics RFAr]], especially [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Webcomics#Aaron_Brenneman.27s_warnings_to_new_users], are too negative and too recent for my taste. Looking at his recent contributions, I don't have any smoking guns, but there is still a lot of what I percieve as veiled hostility towards some users, e.g. Tony, and apparent frustrations with the culture of Wikipedia. Aaron also seems to have a strong tendency to do things his own way. In the distant past that manifested as unannounced changes to deletion policy, and more recently by applying his own style to RFA and RFC. This isn't necessarily bad, but I worry that he hasn't matured as an editor to the point that he would avoid being disruptive in the process. Altogether, I can't really say that he won't be a good admin, and I certainly do believe his heart is in the right place, but I can't shake my sense of uneasiness about this nom, so I am opposing. In many ways, I think this is a shame because there are a number of times where I can recall agreeing with comments and opinions Aaron has offered in the past. Sadly, the last time I felt like this, the RFA succeeded anyway and a few months later sysophood was revoked by ArbCom. If this succeeds, and it certainly looks like it might, I certainly hope that Aaron manages to control his behavior and avoids a similar fate. If this fails, I would be happy to reconsider given several more months of good behavior. [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] 02:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
