Response to Zoomer's SSC post

"To begin, G-man is very pessimistic and has shown time and again that he cares little for where our wiki goes, on multiple occassions calling it "cancer" and even explicitly stating he would "love to be free of the cancer that is PPW."."

I'm not pessimistic, I'm a realist. Acknowledging the hole the Wiki is in is not pessimism, it's knowing the truth. I do care where our wiki goes. If I did not care, why would I have stayed here for over 5 years now? If I did not care, why would I keep discussing and implementing ways to help boost our activity? Why would I remain the President here if I did not care? The use of the word "cancer" was because of the behavior of the community. You must admit that the way we act is cancerous. The quotation you give is a joke, I sincerely hope that you did not take it seriously.

" This proves that, on top of being pessimistic, he cares for neither the wiki or the people who struggle to maintain it under incompetent administration."

An incompetent administration? How about an administration that has kept the Wiki safe. The job of the administration is to do what is best for the wiki, and we have done so. We have dealt with those breaking the rules. We have passed and denied votes and participated in discussions pertaining to the running of the Wiki. While you all may not agree with our decisions, they were in the best interests of the Wiki. You all may not see that, but that is fine as we will continue to do our jobs.

" G-man has also refrained from kicking rulebreakers in chat at least once, using "lazyness" as an excuse."

The reason I did not kick that person was not due to laziness, although I did make a joke that said that. I was on my phone and not even looking at chat at the time, and the person was kicked by another moderator. This is a non-issue.

" Next is the fact that G-man takes nothing seriously."

I've already addressed this in my response to Ned's post, I take things seriously when they matter.

" WaglingtonŒ has, unlike G-man, been in chat almost every day and taken care most of whatever rulebreakers surface."

Everyone here knows that I have been in chat every day. There's no exception. There hasn't been a day in a very long time where I have not been in chat. I'm always on at some time of the day, sometimes when nobody else is on. If I see a person breaking the rules, I stop them. That's the end of it.
