I'm going to oppose. Now let me get to the facts. In a multi-hour discussion with Andrew via Skype last night, I learned that Mallace's original unban request for Pearson Wright was written as a joke, and I seriously doubt that prompted G's hasty return. If anything, it's mature that he remove himself if he feels he's going to be gone for an unknown amount of time, rather than trying to barely hold on to administrative powers (see: GenLawrence; Jarod, bear-hunter).

I'm really going to have to see a citation for "numerous futile attempts," because that's a pretty big claim with a whole lot of nothing behind it right now. He is within his right as an admin to bring up discussion about the health of the wiki and it's future, and seeing as our description of "blacklist" is vague and holds no weight to it. To me, it sounds more like he said, "Do you two think this is a good idea?" and you both said no, so he wanted the community's opinion. That's not going behind your backs, that's looking for a broader range of people who might share common thought. I'm also going to need to see him saying "If you want me to stop, you'll have to ban me." I have a feeling this was said in PM, which due to some ridiculous rule, we can't use PMs against others. I can write a paragraph about why that rule is stupid, but here it might work to the opposition's advantage, and you can't overlook a rule while accusing someone of being a bad administrator.

Lastly, your use of a "Snapchat" is quite illegitimate. I distinctly remember catching you in a plot to take over the wiki via the messaging app "Kik" but the proof was refuted. And frankly that screenshot is pretty out of context and doesn't tell us a whole lot other than he wants to stay, so I don't know what evil proof you're looking for there. I mean, that's more vague than the time you, Ben, and Jack tried to take over.

Overall this demotion request is driven more by spite and anger, and words and actions have been twisted to fit your agenda, not by any care for the wiki.

TL;DR: G's rapid arrivals and departures, though masked as inappropriate, are truly mature and responsible. There's a lot of lacking facts, claim of proof without evidence, and manipulation of events in this request. Demotion seems driven by spite not by a desire to better the wiki.
