Bill, please don't tell me what my responsibilities are, and don't try to assign responsibilities to titles that don't exist.

There are no rules associated with what the responsibilities of any position are. We make them up. All those titles actually get you are user rights to perform specific actions on the wiki.

I realize you are frustrated with the situation, and are looking for some support to enforce your opinion, but that's not my job or responsibility.

Administrators are supposed to be the best of the users. We're supposed to be able to work with anyone ourselves to resolve conflict. We shouldn't be causing conflict on our own, and certainly shouldn't require mediation.

You are right, you shouldn't accept another admin's opinion as correct. Admins are supposed to come together as a group and decide things democratically, not by one person's opinion alone. Are you an administrator on the DC side? Have you talked with the other Administrators on the DC side? I'd be happy to vote on if that information is added or kept off of pages if a vote was put together.

The bcrat isn't a right that's earned just by being here, it's an honor bestowed on an a trusted administrator in order to promote other users to admin status. In the case of myself and Billy, it was a necessary action just because Jamie was unavailable too often to actually get more administrators involved.

Would you please point me to the conversation you had about the original issue on the DC side? I'd like to weigh in.

Thanks.
