When you say "as an admin" it's pulling rank. It's speaking with authority. Maybe this is your first time in a position like this, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, I am sensitive about what people given a positions of authority do. You'd be foolish not to, and you should always question power. That's a basic aspect of being a critical thinker. You're going to be criticized for the things you say, and you need to be more careful about swinging your weight around. I say this as an experienced admin and as someone who has some experience in project management and in leadership positions, and not as some way to spite you but in hopes for you to see why your post garnered my response.

I didn't put any words in your mouth. You as much as accuse him of trying to be the wikia's dictator when you say " As others have said, you are just one out of many users here, and you don't control or make decisions for the Wiki ". Your statement here would require him to be, from your perspective, attempting to boss people around. My saying you're calling him a dictator is a summation of a previous thing you said, I'm not making things you said up.

I can accept that you may not have intended for the tone of your post to be what it was, but the fact that you edited it and pulled out pieces that I mentioned above proves to me that you agree that it came across wrong. Otherwise, why else would you have edited it?

I have no idea about you as a person, and frankly I don't care about your personal self-assessment. Almost everyone thinks of themselves as being "good", and frankly it's a trap. If you're fundamentally a "good person" then you can justify away the things you do. I'm basing my position and thoughts on what I have seen before me only.

I'm not that interested in carrying on a discussion about this. I think I've made my point, and I'm not sure anything productive would come of further quibbling over what's been said here. It's not the point of this post - it's to discuss and bring awareness to some pages that are bad business. If you wanna continue to hash this out, you can find me on the Discord as Necrotech, or as Necrotech#1326.

In summary - I don't think you were necessarily trying to do abuse power, I just think your post sounded like it. You edit suggests to me that you thought so, too. I think this is a good place to discuss the points made in the original post, and that doing so will help build a case for and against the proposal.
