When Grif told you about the Skype chat he was making 3 years ago, he outright stated that it would be a chat involving staff members so that staff could communicate more efficiently. You turned down the offer. He did not "outright state" that at all, though. Saying you want people with rollback privileges in a chat with admins doesn't say "staff chat" and the word staff was never used. My own impression from then was that he was talking about making it easier to deal with the kind of disruptive editing people with rollback privileges deal with and since I didn't use those privileges I didn't see any point. Also, to say I turned down the offer is a bit misleading as the fact is I didn't have a Skype account at the time and it was not in any way suggested that joining the chat was of vital importance.

Next time, it likely will help to stick to the basics and just say "I never asked to be nor wanted to be staff." You don't need to takes shots; that one aims true all on its own. In point of fact, I did say that I didn't ask for it at the end of our last conversation. Only thing I have to say on the rest of that blather, is that any antagonistic behavior from me has mostly been due to the fact that illogical and inconsistent rules and decisions have been used to remove content I contributed, without those rules or decisions being publicly displayed anywhere. Staff or not staff was never really the focus of my annoyance, just an additional source of frustration with chronic mismanagement and terrible communication by the people running this wiki.
