I was banned for a month, not for breaking any rules but because I questioned information we were given. My one and only edit was reverted shortly after my ban took effect and at the time it felt like such an underhanded move that it made me absolutely livid.

I'm not going to rehash the now three year old ordeal and only brought it up to show that I've been there and completely understand the angst many others have had over the years and the issues that motivated a few here to seek new leadership.

My personal animosity has long since faded into obscurity and with this passage of time I've come to the conclusion that it's better to deal with the devil you know than the one you don't.

I personally don't have any issues with how Paul runs the site and to tell you the truth? I've agreed with him far more than I ever expected to. While I agree his social graces could use improvement the fact is that he's done an excellent job of accurately recording the canon which is, incidentally, the entire goal of this wiki. Is he perfect? Of course not but he's a hell of a lot better than the current revolution makes him sound.

In the past others that took offense started their own TW wiki so they could operate it the way they felt it needed. Those same users just started to copy the work Paul did, down to the same layout and formatting, to use on their site. The problem I've seen is that shortly after their anger abated they grew weary of spending all that time trying to get their site up to date and quit. They weren't even doing any of the actual work themselves but still gave up!

My point is this: If you have such an issue with Paul, why not go help one of those others and enjoy your freedom from "tyranny"? I know why. Because then you'd actually have to put in the work.

I refuse to vote because these other sites are an option. Leave this site in the capable hands of Paul, Dry, killer kev and anyone else the current admin has. You know what's really confusing to me?

The way everyone is stuck on the idea of Paul being removed as if that was on the table at all. It isn't. No one is asking for that. (Well, okay, Alphakiller is.... but.... no. It's not on the table. It is not being discussed.) This is not a coup. This is not a revolution.

We are asking for the community to select an admin to ADD to the current leadership of this Wiki as a means of offsetting the issues that have consistently arisen, since season 1, on this Wiki. You've seen those issues. And you also know they haven't gone away.

We're asking to add an admin who is voted on by the community of this Wiki. It's really very simple. It is not at all confusing. And, y'know what? It doesn't seem to me like it's some kind of outlandish request. It's pretty reasonable. It makes a certain amount of sense -- you have a community here, allow them to pick one or two members of their leadership team.

So let's not all get so worked up about a revolution that is absolutely, 100% fictional, okay?
