 * Oppose. I was initially going for Neutral because of lack of experience of mediation or conflict resolution (clerking is not actually experience of analysing evidence, making decisions, guiding people to an understanding, interpreting and explaining the consensus of the community, etc) and lacklustre answers to questions, but on reviewing contributions I began to feel uneasy about this candidate's decision making. Minor stuff, and candidate is always polite and willing to listen - but I'd like a bit more than the standard polite and ready to agree behaviour: I'd like to see evidence of good quality, strong and fairly consistent decision making in stressful situations. An inappropriate block in a non-stressful and non-complex situation, and slightly contentious editing combined with the general lack of evidence of ability to handle good quality conflict resolution tips me to oppose.

 * Oppose, per Moreschi's point above (as further discussed on the talk page), in connection with K.L.'s overall poor performance in the ARBMAC2 case – first systematically enabling trolls and later blocking everybody within sight when it had become clear that the troll-enabling had led to the expectable chaos. Also per User:Akhilleus' apt conclusion to this related small incident illustrating the same pattern, which demonstrates that K.L. lacks the intellectual depth to understand typical content problems in contentious areas, and is therefore unable to appropriately read a situation.
