Might be a touch rude, but Grif, I don't think you read my paragraph thoroughly. I said "encouragement to open up voting" meaning that we were encouraging people to step up and cast a vote. Of course voting is always open and I deliberately chose the word "encouragement" to avoid implying otherwise. Also, the context is specifically about you trying to prevent it from happening on the pre-agreed goal date of Saturday, not that you tried to prevent it from happening completely.

I am also seeing in your post that you're taking credit for a consensus that you took no part in other than to say stuff to prevent the existing ones: ~"Final plan came about after I spoke up." Then there's redirecting SYUTK by offering up Preda as having anything to do with this discussion, which they do not. I see you telling SYUTK that your problem with admins was that they didn't take action after discussion while in the post here you are talking about how moving forward was what you opposed us doing.

Also, if I edited a post, it was to fix a typo. Otherwise I create a new comment or explain that I edited to add (ETA). This has always been the case with me; I even remember Mini asking me about it when we first joined the wiki.

I really am sad this is devolving into a debate between us. I set out originally to cast my vote because of your very clear expression of not wanting to be where you are. Putting my every word through the rails like this when my intent is to look out for you is just... I don't even know what to say.

I am going to add that all admins saw the conversation and took part in some way, apart from Lauren who chose to say nothing. Chish, once asked why she wasn't saying anything, admitted that she didn't know what to say. Maki chose to finalize his decision to demote himself from admin, which he'd already put forth weeks ago that he was considering. Mino and I both encouraged the discussion.

Sorry about the contactable info on the screenshot. I took it down once I saw it on my break and will replace the image with one that has it edited out when I am home.
