Both true points, and there's a reason for them:

When I'm not in college, I'm studying. When I'm not studying, I'm helping with family issues or doing daily chores. When I'm not doing any of the above, I'm traveling to or from somewhere. Finally, when I have time for myself, I'm trying to decompress. Even so, I find time to chat with whoever requests it, for as long as they want, check recent edits for vandalism, and be a part of Wikia's Community Council (mainly for the sake of this wiki, I might add).

Like I said, I don't approve of what was done.

Examples?

On a personal note, you might want to consider who you're speaking with. Not a user named "Blaziken rjcf", not a bunch of cybernetic entities collectively known as "administrators", but real-life, flesh-and-blood, bona fide human beings. I started this thread in a spirit of humility and compassion, trying to improve your (users') experience, myself, and this wiki, yet I have received little more than scorn from you (flat-out ignoring what I'm saying on some issues, not to mention the, frankly, manipulative assumption) and Ylimegirl (flat-out ignoring my physical pain and being rude about it), who were the only ones to come forth and speak about the issues of this wiki.

The other users who posted in this thread support the way the wiki is being run, while still acknowledging us as humans who sometimes make mistakes, and not some kind of entities that believe they are not to be questioned. While I don't think that every single action we have ever taken had good results (because it's simply not true), the idea that every single mistake we have ever made is proof of our incompetence or "unworthiness" as admins or whatever is absurd. I have agreed with you on several issues, tried to clear up the others, and continued to engage in a polite discussion, in spite of your apparent disdain for us (admins). I have already proposed measures for one of the issues you mentioned (I didn't propose them to you, but that's beside the point), and am thinking of potential fixes for other issues.

You (Oneofthosedf) treat us (admins) as if we claim to be infallible, which we do not, or as if you know what our lives are like and what we do for this wiki, which you don't. I suggest you ask someone else who agrees with these issues to discuss them, assuming they're capable of keeping their impartiality, as I have been doing thus far.
