I think I know the thought behind the words, and thus I can understand why they were said, I still disagree with them getting said. Even if justified, it's quite a bad PR for the Staff overall, instead sandwiches can be had, seriously. Same goes for the opposing side raging about "ermagerd, dictatorship". Yes, just like it has been for years, it is still a dictatorship of the Staff, but they shouldn't forget either that great power comes with great responsibility.
Can we just stop chewing on words which may or may not were exaggerative now, and focus on the real issues, like how the current ruling system may or may not be beneficial or harmful for the server and community overall? And I mean together, Staff and Community, hand in hand, listening to eachother and having conversations about conflicts of interest with constructive criticism, reason, solid basis as support for each of our own points, possible alternatives, the whole finally ending up in a consensus benefitting us all. What do you think? Do not forget, for that to work, all of you are needed.
