Okay, I'm taking this into a thread that's better suited for this kind of discussion....
Let me start of by saying that's utter bullshit and you know it.
And you being made into a moderator has "fuck" and "all" to do with it.
Where it's really at is contributions. Without me here, you will be the undisputed top contributor to the project. And what this means is that you will automatically be setting the stage upon which everyone dances. And that's not because of something I set up. That's just human nature. Put a man outside a closed door like he's waiting for it to open, and a line of people will form behind him. It's that simple.
Whether you want to admit it or not, you're going to be de-facto in charge because no one else is gonna have the same level of output as either you or me.
Next...
Rob.
I want to be clear, here.
As I said in the other thread, I did not want for there to be any left-over clues of Benjamin's existence in TNB. It will keep the project attractive to other potential writers and cause less confusion for the readers.
It is also the most absolutely neutral path that I can think of. You get to have TNB, more or less, however you want. By removing my story lines, you get to fill them in with something YOU want instead.
And don't try and tell me otherwise. I know you wanted to turn Nanoha into a full-time meganekko. Well, guess what? Now you can.
What is it that you want anyways? Honestly, I have no idea what you want out of this! You haven't even been forthcoming at all about it!
I do not want to sabotage or otherwise harm TNB. And while I can understand that you may think that my choice to remove Benjamin and his stories from the setting is harming the project... No. It is the exact opposite. I am removing any potential sources of conflict. And while this is a daunting task to retcon everything, it's one that everyone else has agreed is worthwhile, and this because it greatly reduces the possibility any of us are gonna wind up stepping on each other's toes.
And to my knowledge? The only one sticking to their guns about this remaining hint of Benjamin's existence is you, Rob. The only other person that liked it was Dartz, and only because it left a path of return for me.
I have absolutely no intention of coming back.
The others may have taken a neutral stance, but they aren't exactly taking your side in this, either. They want no part in this drama. And to be honest? I can't blame them. I don't want to have to be dealing with this.
All of that said, if you want one more reason? I'll be more than happy to give it to you. And this one is not about me, either.
You have been on record saying that your great flaw is in making the wrong call at times.
I'm calling you out on it now: This is one of those bad calls. I highly advise that you reevaluate your choice here. And not because it hurts my feelings. But because there's a fairly good chance that you're going to poison the well here. Even if that's not your intention.
