Insufficient maturity to be an Arb

While User:Joefromrandb clearly violated the No Personal Attacks rule, Ks0stm inserting himself into verbal fisticuffs on that irate user's talk page HERE was an ill-considered provocation that turned bad to worse and shows a clear lack of the type of mature judgment that we need in ArbCom members. That the escalation was followed by running to mommy at AN/I is even worse. I strongly oppose this candidacy. Carrite (talk) 17:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Agree - Ks0stm could have been way more mature there and nicely settled the issues. I strongly oppose Ks0stm for Arb. Vacation^nine 21:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Agree - Awful. (How the H did an editor like this pass RfA?? Is there something dastardly the matter with that process?? And I know it isn't limited to this Admin by any means. Some that got thru with no negative !votes are purely awful. How the F does that happen??) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 03:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for Ks0stm

Lack of response

I asked all candidates the same question on 27 November. Ks0stm is the only candidate not to have responded yet. It's been a week. IMO, anyone who cannot be bothered to reply to a simple question is unlikely to contribute much to ArbCom. It's an Oppose from me. Bazonka (talk) 23:01, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Included in the questions subheading by me. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 10:38, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bazonka, I'm planning to power through all the questions I've currently got unanswered tomorrow...I've been rather busy for the last week dealing with end of semester studying and tests. Thanks, Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 10:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. Obviously some level of commitment is required to be an admin, so I hope your academic duties won't cause too many interruptions if and when you become an arb. Bazonka (talk) 22:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
