How does a team work? Like friends! Look, we're going in circles here and all we're finding out is who has more patience and better words and how many insults each other can come up with. What happened to the unity?! What happened to the dignity?! It was suggested by several others earlier that this discussion be dropped cause the majority of the people here didn't want to make a spectacle of Journalistic and didn't want to destroy his reputation. So can't we all agree that's a good cause to settle this thing like friends? Do not quote me on this but...

Admittedly, that's still one of SNN's biggest problems to date. Not Journalistic's behaviour. It's upsetting to see that we can barely pull ourselves together and be friends, or at the very, acquaintances. SNN is supposed to be fun. It's why I joined in the first place. I can already tell you that this thread...it isn't fun.

Back then, knowing the fact that I had joined a team of people that provided information on one of my favourite franchises to the public gave me goosebumps--what a dream. But I guess seeing what truly went on behind the emerald curtain was somewhat disheartening.

To think that we're actually lobbing insults, memes, and then some, at each other. It's a little sickening.-- No. It's sickening, period.

I really don't want us to be torn apart like this over the span of 200+ messages. Everything that needs to be said has been said. So I guess as a special little last post...

Myself 123: He has a great sense of humour and knows how to compose himself well. That time he left over that whole "three beaurecrat" thing was truly upsetting and I hope someday that he regains his rights. An overall good person who does mean well.

Sacorguy79: One of the funniest people I've met on this wiki. The conversations I've had with him in the chatroom are going to still be cherished. When he stepped up to the plate of being a beaurecrat when not many others did, I thought it was brave. Really chill person with good intentions.

Ultrasonic9000: Even judging by his editcount, you can see how dedicated the guy is. He is one of the only people who aided me for so long and helped me master a lot of stuff on wiki. There's absolutely no way I would care anymore for the wiki without him. Yes, his stubborness can get the better of him but Ultra only has good intentions.

PenBird2000: It's evident that he looks up to almost everyone here judging by how closely he edits compared to everyone else. He's always eager to learn but at the same time his emotions can get the best of him. With his care for the threads and forums, you know that he only means well.

ModrenSonic: The first time we met, I was not thrilled at all by his reckless editing. Even more so, I was even more doubtful of him becoming an admin. But upon more observation, after learning he was on the wiki longer than me and his true care for the franchise, I could tell Modren had good intentions.

DistantShadow: One of the most optimistic users we've had to date. Honestly, when she first joined and was so open and friendly to all the users, nothing but a smile could be spread across my face. She's still a beginner at editing articles but she has done pretty well on threads and she can only go better from there.

Luma.dash: The way he handles images and articles with such ease is something to admire. I know we do not communitcate a whole lot but the guy does have good advice when the time comes, showing that he has good intentions when the time comes.

Mystic Orb (yes, I saw your Kudos): Never before have I seen a person edit as much in an entire day as much as Ultra. I was blown away the first time I met him. Overall great person with good intentions.

BlueSpeeder: One of the finest editors here. Blue is funny, straight-to-the-point and awesome at what he does. I'm still gonna be ultimately grateful for promoting me to a Content Moderator as it gave me more confidence around the wiki. Of course, Blue has been quite difficult at times with other users but nothing he does is without reason, ultimately proving his good intentions.

Genesjs: Another veteran user that I enjoyed the presence of from a while back. He is still trying to connect with many of the users here and I'm liking that. He brings up excellent points when needed. Yes, it's been established he types too much but the guy means well and that's all that counts.

Hedgehogsonic11: A pretty chill dude and I'm aware of his time on the wiki. I have not really spoken to him all that much but I've seen his dedication and it's something to admire. It would be cool to see him as a Content Moderator soon enough as he has all the best intentions.

So as you can see, we all have good intentions for the wiki. All I ask is that we become more aware of this. I know demoting Journalistic is one of the more negative things that turns everyone against each other but this is no reason to descend into such hostile territory.

Not everyone understands him. Maybe he doesn't even understand himself. But I do not see this demotion to benefit anyone. Instead, we need to come together and discuss this more civil instead of insulting each other and posting ridiculous memes and GIFs.

That's what a community does. That what we should be moving towards. Again, I really do not wish for this to be quoted because almost every comment on this is looking more and more ridiculous.

We wait a week.

Please. Remarkable. An outstanding user. I'm impressed, DeCool. You definitely have potential to become a sysop.
