Sannse, please be the judge of whether I was being "ugly" to GEL when I was trying to reason with her and Kat.  Here is the email I sent to all three admins: 

''“Hi Ladies! I've actually been wanting to say something about all of these editing discussions. I know I'm not an Admin, but I feel the majority of these issues are coming up because edits are way too tightly controlled and rigid. ''

  

''I know I don't have to go through everything you three do as admins, but I want to give my point of view. I'm not an admin but I'm also not a regular user, so I feel I have a different perspective and I am going to be completely honest. I'm doing this here instead of on the wiki as a sign of respect for all of you. ''

  

''I have tried doing some editing and received feedback. I tried not to take it the wrong way because I know from where it comes, but I felt the feedback was a bit nitpicky. Why does it matter if I switched a comma to inside of a quote? I won't be editing anymore as I don't need the added stress or worry about any edits I make. ''

  

''Having also seen responses sent to others who have tried to edit, I think too much time is spent on making sure everything stays exactly the same way as it has always been. I also felt a lot of Redbeard's back and forth was because he didn't feel his question was answered. And I didn't feel he deserved to be banned...that completely surprised me. ''

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:15.75pt;">''<span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"ComicSansMS";font-size:10pt;">Sannse had a lot of great points to make. Perhaps it could save a lot of stress for everyone not to sweat the small stuff, don't try to keep such a tight thumb on everything that is being done, and be open to changes. Also, maybe don't feel the need to keep a conversation going, especially if you've given your point of view, and see if the conversation will die on it's own. ''

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:15.75pt;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"ComicSansMS";font-size:10pt;">I hope my bluntness didn't offend any of you because that is definitely not my intention!!”

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;line-height:15.75pt;"> <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Here is GEL's email response to me: 

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;line-height:15.75pt;">''<span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"ComicSansMS";font-size:10pt;">“Some fact checking shows that Redbeard was not banned. Checking edits is one of our responsibilities. Last night an "anonymous  seeker" came into an article and messed it up so badly it had to be undone. We are doing our job as Admins, thanks for your support.” ''

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;line-height:15.75pt;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">The email with all of the arguing where GEL was removed had to do with MFB's ban. Kat told MD of the ban after it had already been done (she was not consulted at all). I was upset because I was no longer being included in any ongoing discussions and felt the "team" should have been notified of the decision so we didn't just stumble across it on the boards. I was also upset because I felt the person who was banned was being goaded by Kat and GEL and further felt the punishment was way too strict and unreasonable!
