I wasn't a negative Nelly in my post. I just said let anyone else with objections be known. And I did actually agree a wee bit that it would have been nice to get everyone's opinions beforehand. But obviously objections can still be made... I'm basically rehashing at this point. Might as well throw in the faith in the admins' choices thing too.
I'm not trying to be all "OMG, Y DO U CARE?", but honestly... um.. why do you?[/nice and sincere curiosity]
Oh, and one point for you for mentioning Orwell.

My gripe wasn't
really with what you said so much as it was with what Rexy said. I didn't particularly like her tone.
You're pretty much right to ask that people make their objections known... but I doubt they will do that. After all, isn't it a lot easier to just say "hey well done!" rather than "you know, you're not the best man for the job"? Some people value their popularity over the ability to speak their mind, for some reason.
You raise a fair question too. Why do I care? Well the short answer is, I'd like to at least be able to come back here occasionally to post when I'm bored and have nothing better to do (like now, for instance). But I feel that so far the people we've had in positions of authority (excepting your wonderful significant other, who is my number 1 choice for S-mod) haven't done this place any favours. SeaRex tried to get things going again, implement some cool stuff, and whatnot, but it sort of fizzled out. With Hobo milking the bajesus out of his I > You gimmick and Rich apparantly being my sworn enemy (sworn enemies in positions of power do not bode well for me) I didn't feel that it was really worth posting here. I'd just get lambasted and banned before I could say "how about a nice debate then?".
To cut a long story short, I know that if it continues like this, it's not going to really be worth the effort to post here full stop. I've got over 1k of posts, and people know me around here... I don't really want to start all over again on some other forum. So that's why I care... I guess I just want to be able to post here when I'm bored, and I want it to be as good as it possibly can be, if I can help it.
I know what I've just said probably looks to some people like I'm trying to give my "trolling" a vaneer of heartfelt honesty and what have you, but it's really not like that. I just want to have more fun and less hassle here, it's pretty basic really.
