The issues continue because they aren't dealt with, instead they are just swept under the rug till the pile of dirt spills out then everyone can't understand why.

This is a campaign and in a campaign dirt and hard questions come out. Integrity and Professionalism start to emerge and truth about a person appears. As I stated before Admins are NOT to be about game friends or wiki friends it is NOT a popularity contest. That's what has happened and why there's discord. This isn't about electing a King and Queen at the prom people it's about who can be professional and honest and truthful and fair with all members. It's who will likely listen to not only an individual member but the community as a whole, about who can lead inside of conflicts for the betterment of all parties. It's about reining in conflict and discord, and moderation all the while keeping a neutral attitude, not being passive aggressive or posting nice platitudes to brush over issues.

History repeats if not learned from........

I agree wholeheartedly.

Regardless of what has happened, just the fact that a current admin is mudslinging, not just MFB, but nominees in an election Karen and MD (on another thread),and revealing emails is deplorable. MFB should not have lashed back in the same way either.

All this just goes to show why we are deciding to vote on admins. When I started the nominations thread it was with the belief that we were adding two to the existing, then several stated they would like to see all five and why. I am beginning to see their point.

I myself have called Kat on her way of speaking to members and it was a rough time for us as friends. I did see Kat try and work on changing some of her communication style. I have seen her continue to interact with friends and members here through many disparaging moments and she never has given up. I would have completely understood if she had run for the hills, but she did not. That says a lot to me so I have continued to give her the benefit of the doubt. But honestly, if you haven’t been able to learn from past mistakes and continue to exhibit bad behavior, then that says a lot to me too. The fact that Kat is an existing admin exhibiting this behavior during an election process has me convinced more than ever that, yes, we do need to do all five due to this behavior and the like being in large part the crux of many of the issues here.

Karen, thank you for answering honestly. I understand that as moderator you had no recourse.
