"You all can thank my BNO roots for even giving you the right to protest. If you remember back to the days of 2012, those who created blogs or whined about things were punished."

Please stop thinking that you are more important than other people, especially when you believe that you have the ability to take away our rights without repercussion.

This wiki has a long outstanding history of democracy. People were allowed to "whine" about things in chat to an extent, and express their opinion appropriately elsewhere on talk pages, etc. Blogs were deemed to be drama. The forums feature was added or introduced to this wiki in 2013. Before that is was very different.

"First they tried loosening the restrictions to "encourage new players to come" so we don't just kick them right away."

It isn't my fault one staff member did not know the protocol for handling new users. You being the former Vice-President should have instructed the newcomer better. Oh well.

"I was going to post some screenshots of the staff chat so we can show everyone what we were discussing but unfortunately, Gold timers used the N and F words every other line which has complicated such efforts:"

Firstly, I consider that online libel and formally ask you retract your statement. Secondly, what is agreed upon or said in the staff chat does not reflect the opinions of the ENTIRE community no matter how small it may be.
