GREETINGS FROM 35,000 FEET ON SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.

3 things:

1. Thank you Garland, for your complete and positive criticism that has contributed nothing to the conversation." If this doesn't pass, which it probably won't, I think there should be a call for his resignation." Are you saying you want me to oppose? Take your salt somewhere else. I have to say I am nothing but disappointed in your new view on life here.

2. Welcome back Parax., my favorite admin of all time.

3. I am withholding my vote for two reasons. The first of which is that I received potential proof of an attempted coup by Waglington. The investigation is on-going but I feel obligated to let you all know and will not release details that will compromise the investigation. A friendly reminder that all wiki-takeovers results in an immediate and permanent ban. Granted, this is very much likely someone trolling and obviously we all love Wag - but we are inclined to look into every threat.

Finally, I have withheld my vote because while I personally do not attest G to the garbage-like description you all associate him with, it would be unfair to not acknowledge what he does behind the scenes. Every single coding error goes to him. Every formatting/CSS error goes to him. Every emote to chat/verbatim (RIP) went to him. He does do a lot of things each day which don't make it to activity and its unfair to say he's done nothing.

GRANTED;

I always take the community vote into opinion. That's why I created a trend for users to debate passed legislation they disagree with in the off-topic board. That's why I've never been afraid to be the one to request a promotion or demotion. That's why I took the initiave in promoting Waglington when it became clear you all wanted (and we needed) a new chat mod. And its very clear that the community has fallen ill of G and I've noticed that. It's very hard to ignore and I am deeply considering all options.

So for those who have no faith this will pass, please, keep firin'. I refuse to use salt in my decision and will ignore your trollish attempts to do otherwise. We must all realize that in the event of G-man's demotion, I would be the one to succeed his post. Despite Waglington's popularity, he does not hold even the old-set minimum time as a staff member to be considered for an admin, let alone the leader. Experience can trump belief, do not forget. With that, I must make my post realistic in that a very likely scenario should this pass is the implemenation of me.

A Mallace administration would also highly consider Waglington due to his progressiveas a Vice President due to the community's also apparent dislike of Gio. A Mallace administration would be the most inclusive administration ever - don't forget that I spent years as an antibureaucracy user like must of you. And for those who continue to say we are doomed, I think that's been proven wrong several times (ie the entirety of 2014).

Just some food for thought...don't take this as my own coup or anything, but take it as the reality of what is about to happen. Such changes as these can have consequences and I urge users to think before they act. Demoting the leader is a big change and I know what its like to be on both ends of the "VOTE NOW BEFORE EVERYONE FORGETS" "WE HAVE A CHANCE AT POWER GO"

It is with a heavy heart that I lend my to the cause... I urge you all to tone back the language and respect a President who has far more than he gets credit for... but with that, this vote is hereby passed. I will keep the thread open so Gio may voice his vote.

'''Remember, above all else, we must remember that we are all friends here and our ultimate goal is the continued survival of the wiki. No matter how big the salt, don't forget that you'd much rather sit next to G on a plane than JDP. #PPW'''

Best,

i love you too <3
