I'm not trying to take sides, or make any personal attacks. I just want to get my opinion out there.
@paddy: While I was still very new to the admin team when we began to discuss your termination as an admin, I agreed with the decision. It's not that I "didn't care", but that I believed it was the right decision. In all honestly, I would have preferred it if the whole situation hadn't had to happen, but I think it's what needed to happen. I fully stand by this decision, despite the fact that I don't like it. ("There are things in life that you won't want to do, but you will have to do them.")
Even before I became an admin, I got the impression that you were a very short-tempered person, and somewhat difficult to interact with. You have a tendency to "explode" on people when they do something that is not to your pleasing. And while, yes, current admins will try to put a stop to similar discrepancies, they still try to do it in a constructive or considerate manner. Tactfulness, I think, is a very valuable attribute to have in an administrator, and I do not think that you portrayed that very well in your posts as an administrator. I'm sorry.

Glad all this is coming out and you guys are talking about it. Only way issues with people you regularly interact with can heal. That way when everything is done and talked about we can start to move on ;D

This thread is full off ass-kissing. But is probably the most beneficial in this section as of yet. Ricky, Enyan +1.

@paddy: Please calm down. No need to get all angry. I can understand about being upset, and I know how it feels to have the people you thought were your friends feel as if they are turning against you. But whats done is done. I really respect you, because even when you stepped down I knew there was more to it. But you swallowed the pill and stepped down with no problem, you controlled your emotions. Don't make me lose respect for you. You have a right to post what you are upset about, and thats what you are doing. But this is going to a point where you are almost hating others. The world may turn on you, but stand up, put your game face on, and march ahead. And when you start marching, people will march with you.(<-really crappy way to say move on with dignity)
@all admins past and present: You are the admin team. Act like it. When there is a problem, fix it as a team. When there is something important to decide, decide as a team. When there is anger, settle it as a team. If you do that, be happy as a team. If you fail, we fail.
@pogotribe: We cant decide how we will act tommorow. We can decide how we will act about the past. The admins messed up, so what? Fix it, let it go, move on. We don't know who will get chosen for the team and on what basis, all we can do is apply. My advice is this: Apply the best you can. If you dont get it, that dosent mean they hate you, or had anything against you. All it means is you werent the best canidate. Life goes on. Try to help the pogotribe the best you can, whether it be as a member or admin. None can survive without the other.
Thanks.

This thread is full off ass-kissing. Do show. Islander was referencing mine and Ricky's applauding of the admins actions regarding Paddy. I can see how it could look like unabashed brown-nosing, so it's all good.

No, I was referring to the useless pictures and songs which didn't do much to help the conversation. Your posts were great and left me with nothing else to add.

I love how I put thought into posts no one reads I read your post, but I didn't feel like I had anything to add to it. You make a valid point, and I thank you for the reminder (to the "@all admins past and present"). =)

Lmfao. If TheIslander is kissing up to me and Ricky, then TheIslander has a very curious unknown agenda, being as neither of us hold any great level of authority. XD
