Something happened January to cause the mass exodus. I don't think that Kat or GEL were in on that team and they were brought in by AAA after the dissolution of the above "team". Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. So if what I wrote above is accurate- that means Kat and Gel were given their directions by AAA (as wrong as it was) and they thought this was what they had to do. They shouldn't be faulted under his directive. They know better now that they have a voice. The issue at hand is now rewiring their brains (using Foss' words) so they can do what is correct under Fandoms rules. That is the Elephant in the room!!! Bad habits are hard to break- also letting go of the need for absolute control- which was also drilled into them. On the other side when issues about editing are raised our admins need to have their faith restored in the community who wants to edit-and open themselves up to new ideas and assume a good faith.🐾🐾🐾🐾

Edit: I stand corrected- most the editing team stayed together for a short time after Kat and GEL were brought in by AAA on February 4- they all left after that. This is the link I used for this timeline- Merri also had a lot on her wall and it may still be there- but you can go back on Diana56 contributions and see when the team started and stopped working. http://the-secret-society.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Diana56?offset=20170114044336&target=Diana56

I was editing under Merrimacga back in November 2016 before AAA got involved in editing. Kat started editing sometime back in August 2016 on her own.😐
