User blog comment:G-man./Demotion Request: G-man./@comment-4619254-20160509011536



I have a bit to say regarding this.

This is something we (and I personally) have been fighting for for a long time. So why am I being a flip flop? (it's because i'm me) Over the past week, I've talked to G-man extensively about the wiki. The arguments that "he doesn't care", which include my own, are now invalid to me. Does he need to edit more? Yes. Does his lack of editing mean he doesn't care? No. God no. Unless he's pulling the wool over my eyes, I think G-man genuinely cares about this place.

Furthermore, we have a few issues with replacing him. G takes care of all of our Java Script, HTML and MediaWiki coding. If we demote him and don't replace him with someone who is competent in all of these areas, there's no other way to say it, we're screwed.

All of this being said, I don't oppose his demotion, but I can't support it either. We need him whether we like it or not, and he cares about this place. I've made my case to demote him with the request, now i'm making my case to the rest of you to reconsider this carefully.
