User blog comment:Jack Pistol/Chat Mod Promotion Request: Albert Spark and Voxelplox/@comment-2040576-20130407191229

I just got to thinking, and I realized how selective your lot are when it comes to remembering the past.

Albert, who I am very happy for, was no angel a few months (yes, months!) ago, yet he gets promoted. I am not trying to shoot Albert down, and I am not even going to mention what he did wrong, but it is kind of unfair that we only dwell on Voxel's past and his mistakes, but nobody else's. Have we not all made mistakes? Have we not all done something on this wiki that we are not proud of? Are some of us not being hypocrites because we too have planned a take-over, or planned to push someone over the edge and get them banned/demoted (I am looking at pretty much everyone now) or brought rule-breakers and spammers here? Have we not been vandals and rule breakers and had sock-puppets ourselves? Why then is Voxel a bad guy? Albert has done his fair share of evil, but does that mean he will be a bad mod? Should I be worried that Albert is going to make the same mistakes that he made in the past, and be an awful mod? No of course not! This promotion is in any case only to chat mod! Where is the harm? The harm is the fact that you guys are dwelling on mistakes that happened months ago, when a few months ago you were also making mistakes. I cant wait to bring up all of your mistakes when we consider you for promotion, because you are so far from perfect, yet willing to throw stones at Voxel.

If you have not made a mistake and you honestly think you could do a better job, please, pelt away.
