Sorry, for not responding to you here. I am just frightened. Very, very frightened. I'm sorry about all of this but I do not want to get blocked for posting what I think is right to post. I don't understand a lot of the time. But, no, I cannot support Gaia. If the community had a full roster of candidates, that might have been different. I would have some choices. But, as it stands today, if I reconsidered, there would still be only four to choose from. I wanted this process to be slowed down while we, as a community, searched. I don't think that this will happen.

I asked you in private as Karen suggested that we do, if you would like to be nominated, just as I asked Lidewey, but I did not hear back from you or Lidewey, so I assumed the answer was no.

I don't know that many members off wiki. I only have a relatively few game friends and I have been accused of 'rigging' votes. I cannot support Gaia, but I did not ask anyone not to vote for her. I don't know how there could be a vote for 5 admins when there are only 3 nominees being considered. I asked for Sannse to be involved in this process, but my request was ignored.

I might reconsider if there was a full roster of nominees that included Only8. We worked well together and I wouldn't want to serve without her, but I also would not like to work along-side Gaia. I'm sorry, Gaia, I feel strongly about this. Your ideas about admin authority and the impetus on the social aspect here on the wiki are simply far too different than are mine. I believe that the authority comes FROM the community, not the other way around. I believe that this WIKI was and is intended to be a game manual (if you will). The social community is important to me to a degree but should never outweigh the ARTICLES themselves IMO. I don't intend to argue with anyone about how much or how little is too much social. I just sense that the social has gone too far.

Speech over, and I hope that I don't get blocked for fully answering your question, Sookie, and thanks for asking - El
