Also, just to touch on a few other points:

"Encouraging people to make content" =/= creating content. The only real content G has created is comment drama, which the current administration is overall guilty of milking. I use the word "content," lightly; real content is pages that are consistently gone back to and edited, not flame wars and memes. Yes, I will concede G has created at least one page of arguable substance in recent memory, so, good on him for that. Ideally, however, as has been stated time and time again, the president should be the model user who does more than just manage things behind the scenes with varying degrees of success.

The issue of G moderating chat is hit/miss. Yes, he's taken care of troublemakers, but when he admits he refused to kick for profanity out of sloth, you'd assume a red flag would be raised. Argue all you want that you were on your phone/away at the time, I just find it odd you're only choosing to clarify that when it's a serious talking point.

One other thing...

"You're all immature. I hope you realise that. Next time everyone's in chat, I'll make sure to point that out. You want to see an awakening? I'll be sure you feel it."

"Oppose - per mallace's SSC post and if the special snowflakes' coup works everyone loses"

I'm kind of hoping you realize that this is part of the problem. Sometimes, change has to happen for the sake of a community as a whole. You can complain about spite and throw around buzzwords like coup all you want - I know Ned enough to know that no request he makes is in attempt to damage the wiki. This isn't a takeover. No one is seizing control undemocratically. Some have simply (and rightly so) decided that G is unfit to be the president, and it's now in all our hands as a whole to determine whether the complaint(s) have merit.

Oppose or support, either way, things will have to change for the better eventually.
