Well, I have been concerned that you and others might not understand that when I post over and over again, it's to make a different point or highlight what I thought might be a misunderstanding.

IF you look at these threads, it's the same, relatively few, voices. That is the compliant that I receive when I post too much. To think that a long discussion is actually many members voicing their opinions is inaccurate. I am only one vote here. I am trying not to make this a personality contest but only to keep misunderstandings from developing and then a vote that deteriorates into a place for saying why you are voting the way that you did or worse.

The Sannse thread was a case in point. I have no idea what anyone was thinking when it was asked that a No vote be followed by a name. I guess the thought may have been to name a wiki member. Only Sal named another member. Unfortunatly, simply chucking out wiki names would have been a real free for all and would have required a vote in and of itself. LOL - El

If we could calm down about the rush to vote for the admin team and take it one step at a time with discussion before each step, then this process will go more smoothly. This is what Sannse pointed out when she first was asked to intercede by Kat. All else on the wiki should continue as usual and that will include the editors trying to get a new update out there if one should come down the pike. There are quite a few editors (whether they will continue to edit or not), but our time is precious to us.

This is why I believe we should be posting new discussions unrelated to the wiki leadership process. Places for members that simply hate this whole idea can find relief from it. For them, this is all a great big argument that has been going on for well over a year now (off and on),

You might want to read the older Noms process thread and the ones leading up to that. They were some humdingers, believe me. Might give you an idea of why I am trying to put up different discussion points as leads in Wiki Forum. I am trying to get this all worked out, point by point, concurrently when at all possible, but some require a vote on some point of possible contention before the next step happens. No one need to respond, but the point has been made. Do I wish that these points had been introduced  by someone other than me? Absolutely, I risk the same type of nonsense being thrown at me at every juncture, but I want this wiki to be a place that the majority of members will actually like and care about again. If it is shown to not be to my liking after this process has been completed, then I shall go elsewhere.

This is all civics 101, so the process is certainly not as important in the scheme of world events but for this wiki, it may mean the difference between some of us now involved choosing not to continue posting and/or editing here at all. - El
