[WikiEN-l] Re: Mediation board

[Martin Harper]

Erik,

I'm a little confused here. The mediation committee has indicated that they would like 
to be the sole administrators and moderators of the mediation message board. You 
appear to have taken this request as personal criticism of your good self, and as a 
result have robustly defended yourself. I think you have certainly made your point of 
view on the matter clear enough, and I'm sure it is clear to all readers that your 
actions are without defect. Having established that, let us now move forwards.

It appears that the mediation committee would *still* like to be the sole administrators 
and moderators of the mediation message board, *despite* your actions being entirely 
error-free. I think this is an entirely reasonable request. By agreeing to this request, 
you would be in no way bringing disrepute on yourself, or casting any doubt on the 
validity of your prior actions as moderator. Indeed, the ability to gracefully hand over 
the levers of power, where appropriate, is a highly prized ability amongst leaders.

If there are some important reasons, that we are unaware of, why it would be 
dangerous for you to allow the mediators to administer the mediation message board 
unaided, I'm sure we would all like to know. Otherwise, I hope you will shortly make all 
the mediators admins, as they have suggested, and thus free up your valuable time 
for other things.

Cheers,
-Martin
