If your "disappointed" remark refers to my actions of yesterday: I figured that with all the hormones running wild, the "restore backup, timeout for a bit" method would be a good way to push for a new balance, but if I only added to the escalation of this epic drama, I'm sorry.
Well, look at it this way. I would have preferred if we discussed this shit together, decided on the best course of actions and took it from there. I mean, I certainly didn't do anything after the revolution (other than helping cleaning that shit) that would indicate that I'm no longer mentally stable. In fact I clearly stated that I will act only if I get everyone's support. Doesn't really get any better than that.
Instead you demoted me "just in case", thus cutting me off all staff discussions. Then DU took out his baseball bat and started entertaining the locals with the public beating, which to be honest came as a surprise to me and raised some questions. Anyway, best quotes, for the lulz:
"VD's actions provoked it. He handled it in such a poor manner that rather than resolving a problem, he exacerbated one. And as I said, this is about the fifth time that's happened. Simply put, whenever VD tries to "help", things just get worse."
"You're far too erratic to implement any sort of policy consistently. "
"Looks like we're just getting rid of anyone who disagrees with you. "
"I'm beginning to think that like Rex, you've let just a little bit too much power go to your head. "
"I believe you feel the site depends on you..."
"My concern is that VD has simply made too many bad decisions over the course of the past few months now which have caused far more problems than they ever needed to create."
"All you seem to do is create issues every time you breathe. "
"Three days of internet drama where all your decisions are overturned and where as a result you look like a fool who's easily undermined"
"I'm very reluctant to give him admin powers in any way what-so-ever."
Do you know what my problem with these quotes is, Calis? The person they describe is a fucking idiot. No, I'm not taking it personally. After all, that's the Codex and telling a moron that he is a moron is an honored tradition that I would never speak against. The problem is with the scenarios.
Scenario 1: I am a fucking moron when it comes to running a site. Then it's a good thing that I'm no longer an admin. Seriously. Just replace the "fucking moron" part with not very competent at, if it makes it look any better.
Scenario 2: I'm not a fucking moron and I'm the right guy to restore the faded glory of the Codex forums, but - and that's a big but - DU, who for all intents and purposes is my boss thinks that I'm a moron unfit to make decisions.
Either option tells me that my days as the Codex admin are over. The logic, as you can see, is very simple, and you can't really argue with it. Now, exclusively for my amusement, I'd like to add the last quote here:
"At this stage, there's still a very real possibility that VD will return with full admin powers and we'll do things his way. "
DU, old boy, if after all that you said you still consider giving me full admin powahs, then you are as erratic as I'm. Maybe even more.
