Forum:Bureaucrat request - The Gunny (again)

I'll keep this short and simple. I've decided to ask for bureaucrat rights again. I've been thinking about this for some time, trying to decide whether it's warranted or not. I thought the answer to that question lay in answering why I gave up my rights in the first place. Boiled down, that was for two reasons: I had more on my plate in real life giving me less time to contribute; and I was, quite frankly, tired of the infantile behavior of a number of users. The answer to the first question was that, with the major events at my work for this year completed, I have more time available. The answer to the second question is that, for various reasons, some of the infantile behavior has abated.

But as I sat and parsed those rationales, I found they didn't answer the question of why I needed bc rights again. I found that answer when I considered exactly what those rights bring, and the responsibilities they bear: Leadership and judgement. The question of my leadership and judgement, I realized, is not one I can answer myself. I realized that the only people that can answer that question is you, the community. There's an arguable case that I might need sysop rights to contribute here, considering the type of contributions I make, mostly in the template and mediawiki spaces, but the only arguable case for me to have BC rights is if you, the community, desire my leadership and judgement again.

There may be times in the future when real life constrains my time again, but even in those times, while I may not be able to contribute with edits, I am always able to stay abreast of the community, its important decisions and communicate with the other bureaucrats on those issues.

So, keeping this as simple as possible, do you, the community, desire my leadership and judgement as a bureaucrat?
