Cracker is a sysop and was one of the more active users on RW. Probably a cabalist. Few feel he takes a sensible, moderate position regarding RW's internal politics.

For example it has been claimed that, on at least one occasion, TK's entry into cabal was facilitated by Cracker. He apparently gave TK his password, "out of fairness", in order to allow TK confirm that neither Tmtoulouse nor AmesG were, in reality, working to facilitate his admittance to the allegedly non-existent cabal.

Given the above, it is perhaps surprising that he jumped the gun and laid a five year ban on user TK before the voting had finished during The Great TK banning Incident.

Cracker and the living dead

Shortly thereafter Cracker became a proud member of the Living dead. On the 19th of January, after some preliminary announcements followed by the usual “Oh Cracker, please don’t go” statements, Cracker announced his departure and put a “retired” template on his userpage. Since then he has made well over a hundred edits; making him gone but not forgotten or, for that, matter, gone.
