@randal'thor Like Doorknob said, it is very much a "when did you stop beating your wife" question. I am sorry you feel the need to stoop to such levels as joining a site to make a personal attack on the most senior active pro-tem moderator during the site's first election.

@Mego I repeat: it's not a personal attack. I happen to know Doorknob as a poor moderator on another site, and wanted to share that knowledge with the voters here. Perhaps he's been a great mod on PPCG; if so, more power to him.
If anyone thinks my claims are unsubstantiated, here's where he and the other PSE mods tried to ban challenge questions (99% of site content) against the community's wishes, and here's two instances (needs 2k+ rep, sorry) of him abusing mod powers to harass a user he had reason to dislike.
Anyway I don't want to get into an extended discussion, nor to make this about me vs. Doorknob. I've brought voters' attention to some pertinent facts, and now I'm off again. Take it or leave it, but please don't shoot the messenger.

@randal'thor Given my always-positive experiences with Doorknob, and after reading over the relevant meta posts, I find it hard to believe that this is anything but you holding a year-long grudge. I don't see moderators abusing their powers. I see moderators stepping up to lead the site through a difficult time when the community failed to reach a consensus on a tough subject repeatedly. And, I see you giving them undeserved hell for it, both there and now here.

I'm not shooting the messenger; I'm calling out the single source of the harassment.

If you didn't want to get into an extended discussion, perhaps you should not have made a personal attack against a moderator who is hugely supported by the community here.

My nomination is really starting to begin the process of slowly coming together.

At this rate, you'll finish it right in time for the next election.

@randal'thor Because memory is a tricky thing, I went and checked. There was one comment on your meta Q&A from Doorknob:
> @ryan What do you think wasn't fair and impartial in Emrakul's comment? The entire point of the questionnaire is to provide arguments both for and against one's favorability as a moderator. Should rand al'thor be trying to be fair and impartial to himself? If anything, a Puzzling moderator is the ideal person to comment on these specific aspects (disclaimer: another Puzzling mod here).
That was the entirety of his participation in that election's discussion.
Regardless of how you took that, tit-for-tat isn't really much of a contribution to an election discussion; I think you've said your piece, might wanna let that stand on its own.

@Shog9 OK, thanks. At least that shows I'm not in some kind of tit-for-tat business here (why was my election even mentioned here at all???)

I would like to know what this room thinks of my nomination, so that I may be able to improve it before the primary.

@randal'thor The point is, despite there apparently being some animosity between yourself and the Puzzling mods in the past, none of them made personal attacks on you when you were running for mod on SFF. Like Alex said, it would be appreciated if you would bury your hatchet and not do the same for Doorknob here.
