User blog comment:Alemas2005/Administrator Performance Ratings - Two Years-2 months Later (with non-RfA Admins)/@comment-5052737-20160220222936/@comment-5311834-20160221160515

I can take the other criticisms - I shouldn't have closed that vote, at the time I closed it because it had been open for over 15 days at that point and there wasn't much of a reason to keep it open, however as stated I should have consulted other admins first, thus I'm really in the wrong there.

I have been hostile to you a couple of times Alemas out of frustration due to your lack of tact regarding some things. The reason I don't always post in admin chat is because I'm still only able to access it via my kindle which is annoying to say the least, and most of the time when I check, anything I have to say has already been said - I will admit that I'm stll often late to reply regardless of that. I also answer PMs the moment I see them, which is not always immediately.

With all of that said - I really don't understand the issue with me being AFK vs. closing chat. What's the difference? I'm honestly not as active as a lot of people seem to think I am, and most of the time I just leave chat up while I'm not even at the computer. I do have pings, and when I'm online I'll respond to them. However, you can't expect me to be online all the time. I really don't understand why this is being considered an issue. Last year I even left chat up at night so we'd have 24/7 chat logs, and no one complained then, so why is this only just now a problem?
