"Crusher" Strike Rapier: Unfit to lead AWTeen

Believe it or not, I was actually prepared to vote for Strike until three days ago. He seemed reasonable, had somewhat good ideas, and was obviously a strong leader. He had a no-nonsense policy against vandalism and troublemaking. However, his behavior on the forums shows that his plan for AWTeen is just as flawed as AWTeen's most recent Caretakers'. His posts were relevant until here, where Strike crosses the line from disagreement to insanity:

I'm looking forward to if I win, Im going to crush all this political BS on day one.

"Political BS?" Isn't the political process designed to let people express their opinions and choose the right person for the job? How, exactly, is the community supposed to vote for the right candidate if everyone is expected to shut up and not ask questions? Dictators, not leaders, govern in this manner. Of course, when asked by Maikeru to answer the original question about the publication of chat logs and of AWTeen's meetings, Strike responded further:

I shed a tear for all those votes lost. I've got better things to do than go chasing single votes by changing my policies. If I lose over-all because of that, so be it.

It's a good thing that every real-world candidate isn't as concerned with losing votes as Strike is, because then we would have idiots running the real world.

Strike further demonstrated that he is incapable of managing a large world during an AWTrivia game yesterday evening (Thursday, November . While playing (and winning, I might add), he said:

Strike Rapier: anyone have a shotgun? or a tow missile... I want to fire one at Brants house

Such comments are not fitting of a representative of a community as large and prestigious as AWTeen. Certainly, Matthew and DaBean haven't made any personal attacks on any of their constituents, and none of AWTeen's previous Caretakers publicly disparaged other citizens by suggesting their house be destroyed. Actually, there was a school board election in my township in 1999 where the supervisor of the board was up for reelection. He had been a spectacular contributor to the district's continued success - but he lost the election because he said that a student should have been "taken out into the parking lot and shot."

Furthermore, Strike Rapier has previously stated that he does not see the need for all information to be made public in AWTeen. One could easily imagine a situation where a "private" "Core" meeting is being held and Strike uses bots to eject people who stop by, or to randomly teleport people halfway across the world. Without knowing what's going on in these meetings, people won't be free to criticize them. It is clear that AWTeen needs to place openness and dialog as one of its utmost priorities during this election cycle, and Strike has clearly demonstrated that he is not very interested in either. He changes the topic every time a meaningful issue comes up, and is out of touch with what the world needs to bring itself back from the brink of irrelevance.

Matthew and DaBean are both far better candidates than the "Crusher." Get out and vote to lend them your support!
