While I certainly wish they had chosen someone with... a bit more tact... it's not for me to assert that they need to adhere to our standards as members of a community they're not even personally a part of. We just have to suck it up and hope this turns out for the best.

1 - I wasn't here when that happened.
2 - If you're being literal, then Yac hadn't posted at all. Which means he hadn't posted 53 times in a manner people found obnoxious, ill-informed and overly aggressive and so we had no reason to think badly of him. When someone's first impression has been terrible, and then they're modded for no discernible reason a week after, and the existing mods don't even know why, then thats a very different thing to someone showing up as a blank slate with a job description and the mods being told they exist and are the new admin. Sure, trepidation in the latter instance is wise, but there's no reason to believe a negative in that situation, before a word has been said. I'm sure if Yac had shown up and been an admin in the style of The Virgin or Captain Caveman, there would have been complaints.
