Hi Hilo. Before I respond, allow me to refresh the dialog that brought us here.

Talou said - I would think anyone who is thinking of guiding this wiki would be very interested in seeing Sannse opinions from her vast experience and knowledge. (the last part of her comment has been omitted as it is not relevant to our topic)

You said - Respectfully, Talou, not really. Sannse opinion MAY possibly introduce a bias into our discussions. A moderators job is too guide and offer neutrality and summation. It should help us come to our own consensus, independent, “from her vast experience and knowledge”. (the last part of your comment has been omitted as it had a singular target)

You said - Talou, IMO your post wanting Sannse vast opinion ...etc makes me believe that we lack the necessary experience and knowledge. When we are done, I would like Sannse input.


 * Yes, I am in the business world and have been for the better part of xxx years.  I own an IT firm and I manage 33 (that number is significant for reasons I have touched on throughout the Wiki) people of diverse races, cultures and personalities.


 * No, I am not saying that there is a lack of experience to put together a vote, nor have I implied.The challenge (if you will) comes from the contradiction you put forth. On one hand you disagree with Talou, I would assume, on the premise of bias. Then on the other hand, you state that you would like to have her (Sannse) input. A person who passes along knowledge, gains it from experiences.


 * Yes, I agree. Emotions has a tendency to drive many of the discussions that occur on the Wiki, which is why it is paramount that an Admin and/or Moderator be objective[*] all of the time.


 * Your statement about a facilitator giving their opinion, which can introduce bias, brings me to a question. Are you speaking about a specific facilitator? In scenarios where an arbitrator or a mediator is brought in, they examine all of the facts and gives their opinions.  One would assume, without bias. And that should be the case with Sannse.


 * Yes, we both did vote against Sannse as a neutral party, but my feelings are not relegated to just the voting process. Nor are they personal. Does she bring experience to the table? Based upon what little I know of her, I can only answer yes.

[*] I developed an objectivity scenario to help ascertain how bia/unbias a person might be. If you are interested, I will share it with you.
