Ok, if you used mental illness as an excuse, even if it were true, then my vote would immediately turn to a no. As it is, the lack of respect you have shown a large number of users, including me, is a major issue. I do my best to respect other users here, and I work on a principle of deserved positions and second chances. You've shown no interest in offering second chances, you've pushed people too far before, and because of that, I only barely see you fit to serve as a chat moderator, let alone as an admin. Do I have the right to demote you on that? No. Do I agree with you staying a chat mod? Yes, you are capable of dealing with the issues, if you are a little rough. Do I agree with you becoming an admin? No. Your manner is abrasive to a degree approaching the Guyviroth territory, without crossing the same lines. Notice that Guyviroth was never a troll, and yet we use him as an example the same way we use Evilagram as an example of an intellectual troll. If you become too abrasive, then there will be issues.

As for the issue of self-nomination and this loophole, all it's doing is creating an access point for users that are either unready or should not become admins to try for it. I don't dislike the policy, but it's going to be a constant stream of people declaring themselves "ready to be admins" and then whining when they get turned down. While you have the maturity not to do that should this turn out poorly for you (considering that the chat loves you, I doubt it will), it will become problematic and time-consuming.
