There was an admin consensus to not promote Killian to bureaucrat. The reasons for this are thus:

The user has a long history of being prone to angry outbursts and overreacting, and he still is. His temper is a big problem. That is one of the main reason why we decided against a promotion. He also harassed a fellow user in a chat session a few weeks ago, and received a warning that this behavior would not be tolerated.

The user also posted transcripts of private chat sessions on a public forum, and highlighted it. He got a warning for that, and was told that he could be blocked, after which he suggested the promotion (a bureaucrat can't be blocked). His fellow admins voted no, for reasons that I've already discussed. This discussion is a way to circumvent the admin consensus.
