Moments like this is why someone created the meme, "The truth has been spoken!" Yes! THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN. Oops, gotta turn off my CAPS, or I might get blocked for breaking some sort of an absurd/illogical rule put up by the current staff for the wiki, even though I offended absolutely nobody in that sentence and merely and quite civilly stated a fact. Oh darn, which idiot thought it'd be a good idea to add a "CAPS" button to the computer keyboard?

Anyway, good day to your sir. If this doesn't make Vesther and, as much as I hate to say this, his band of slaves as you said realize their mistakes, I don't know what will.

Just admit it, Vesther, you've made mistakes. A ton of mistakes. And that's the truth, whether you like it or not. But that's okay, we all do. But what's important is to learn from our mistakes rather than repeating them over and over again and blatantly refusing to just admit it and redeem ourselves.

Please, it's still not too late. Don't take everyone who question you as someone who's just trying to demean and anger you. Think through their messages before you just go and block them because they got you upset and now you're in your "banning mood" (which by the way is an extremely bad, well, habit and can easily and quite obviously get you have your rights provoked due to power-abuse). The people who question you, Vesther... they're also very upset and are actually trying to make you realize your mistakes so that this wiki can become a better place. They're not your enemy; they're your savior. Why do random users question your actions? Because you constantly make mistakes. If you don't believe me, there wasn't this much hate when the old bureaucrats used to run the place. Because they were doing their job right. You are not, which is what people are trying to make you understand. But that is completely okay; not everyone is perfect, but that doesn't mean you can't develop yourself. Right? Some of your "haters" may sound harsh and some may sound polite, but what they all want is to make you a better bureaucrat which in turn will help the wiki to grow. Isn't that what the main goal of a wiki is?

So please, just admit the fact (yes, it is a fact, there's no denying) that you've made terrible mistakes--terrible mistakes, but mistakes nonetheless, so there's no need to feel ashamed of it. You will actually be proving yourself to be the better person if you do apologize for your actions and promise to do better and what's right for the wiki. And when you're done doing that, there's no doubt everyone--including your "haters"--will be proud of you and will be happy to see shades of the old, friendly Vesther back. Yes, you have to bring back the old you. But you can't do that until and unless you stop unnecessarily putting yourself in pressure because of the position you're in. Don't let the pressure control you. And never let your anger get the best of you; just calm down when something/someone upsets you, and take action after a while, when you're in a peaceful state.

And Vesther, remember: administrators are not in any way superior to other users; the only difference between them and regular users is that admins have access to restricted technical features in order to help establish a healthy environment for the wiki. You'd be foolish to think otherwise, because this is a community where every member has equal rights and importance. Please, save that in your head.

I hope you get my point and redeem yourself as you make amends with the people you've hurt and gradually try to make the wiki better than ever.

By the way, this is also coming from an old and experienced user--someone you probably know pretty well. And know that I tried to be as polite and civil as possible so I could quell your anger and make you think about what I said in not an irate but a rather composed state.

Cheers.
