Look, I don't know how to put it any nicer, but the only way you'll earn the respect of other users here, is to keep cool and avoid lashing out. I personally believe that how someone comes across to the community is more important than their edit count, or at least as important as. In an admin election, I would be more inclined to support someone with only a few contributions, if I could ascertain beyond doubt that they wouldn't misuse the tools that administration brings, than you. That's the honest truth, and I can't make it seem less harsh, for I would be rather economical with the truth at best, and at worst, outright lying.

But I believe in you. Your contributions, from what I can gather, are sound. It's just you come across as acting the big guy. Nobody wants someone who feels they are superior to everyone else. Although I am an admin, and have been for the past three years, I don't feel above everyone else. I'm just someone who is reasonably active, down-to-earth and trustworthy. They're the characteristics that I would be looking out for. You don't need to go out of your way to be friendly, you just have to be reasonable and straight-talking.

Finally, you have requested admin and content moderator several times in the past- all without success. If I were you, I'd look back at those failed attempts, find out why you were unsuccessful, and re-apply when you feel you're ready to run again. It might take a while, but take as long as you need- after all, Rome wasn't built in a day.

I hope you take my advice onboard, and just try your best to apply it to your shortcomings. Nobody is going to expect perfection from you- but they will expect you to have learned your lesson as best you can.
