User blog comment:-Algol-/Of policies, admins and the community/@comment-217683-20130129082243/@comment-217683-20130130233701

The majority of that last comment was either flat-out wrong, just plain nonsensical (it isn't "technically impossible" to inform a bunch of users you selected randomly, any more than it was technically impossible for her to inform the users she selected), or has already been answered elsewhere. For example, your repeated query as to "why a revote wasn't done" has been answered. It was answered back when the decision was first made. It's right there in the rationale of myself, Commdor, and Lancer. I'll say it again though. The admins felt that, given the clear-cut voter canvassing, a fair and impartial vote was impossible. We also agreed that the changes to the policy were necessary. It's as simple as that.

Wikia doesn't mandate community votes before policies are changed. That's something we implemented here voluntarily. Every now and then, the admins feel that there is a matter that needs addressing to the extent that we're willing to use the authority delegated to us by Wikia to implement that decision without a vote. I'm sorry you don't like that, but as Wikia reminds us every time they implement changes the community at large opposes, the Wikia system is not a democracy. We, out of respect for our community, have tried to implement a democratic system, but just as in the American system the President sometimes makes an end-run around Congress by issuing executive orders, sometimes the admins feel we need to implement necessary policy changes based on the best judgement of the people who actually have to enforce those policies. I'm sorry you disagree so vehemently, but that is, of course, your right.

I also apologize because I cannot stop slandering Ygrain. I cannot stop because I never started slandering Ygrain. I no more slandered Ygrain than you did me, Lancer and Commdor in your initial blog post, or any more than Ygrain slandered me in her recent post her. Saying something you personally dislike isn't automatically slander.
