Hah!
I wonder if I should send you a PM regarding this, Richard.
To the two new admins;
Do what you think is right. Stick to your own principles. Do not mindlessly maintain the status quo out of fear of failure.
You will enjoy your job for some time, and then you will eventually hate it.
You will get told you are corrupt and evil - sometimes by people who previously supported you as an admin... Often simply because you did one thing they disagreed with - or you applied the rules to their behaviour. They will accuse you of being unfair, unjust, holding bias, being part of a conspiracy or whatever catchphrase the community is using at the time.
This will be tiring and frustrating, but so long as you stick to your principles and do what you think is right, then you're probably doing an alright job.
I wish you both the best of luck.

I had something completely different in mind regarding "fresh greens".
That said, oranges are much more sweeter and healthier anyways.
And yellows just bitter.

I don't think I said anything contentious?
Perhaps a PM would be best.

Congratulations and best wishes from an old time and long term player to the new admins.
The hardest thing as an admin will probalbly always be to seperate the man from the function without getting mercyless or losing "groundcontact".
Good luck to the two of you.

No, you didn't... But it's related to a discussion I've wanted to have for some time.
I don't think I have you on skype currently. Perhaps that should change.

And the only way to deal with these horrible people is to never, ever, try to understand their perspective, but rather call them conspiracy theorists instead. That may sound inflexible but it really requires great flexibility when it comes to applying standards to one person or another.
Always remember your guiding principles:
1. You and those that you deem worthy are better than other people.
2. Being better must not go unrewarded.
3. The ends justify the means.
