Alright, it's almost been a week since the demotion proposal was launched, we've all cooled down from this experience, and I have been thinking about my behavior towards Myself and Gen. While my opinion still stands that I am completely against both of you in demoting Journalistic, I will promptly respect your decisions on why. Therefore, I will leave both of you a personal apology letter on both of your message walls so this thread doesn't get sappy and such.

Now, looking at the scoreboard, and mind you I haven't counted exactly how many users voted for or against, but it does seem like there is an overwhelming opposition to Journalistic's demotion. The main theme I see in all of these messages of opposition is that Journalistic should not be demoted because he hastily closed site discussions and close his own message wall posts, and to that I still agree that he has every right to answer and close a post on his message wall. For site discussions, I've been thinking about it and it is a bit of a concern: it isn't enough to warrant a demotion but I do see with Myself and Gen's points on how irrational of a decision it is for him to do that. However, I don't believe it is done out of bad intentions. I personally do not care whether he closes a thread or not, it is up to him if he chooses to close it. However, the issue is visible to me and I can see the viewpoints of the opposite team.

In other words, I'm restating my final thoughts and I will be more open to why other users believe it is an issue in the future. Again, I apologize for my hostile behavior.
