My intention with introducing a proper voting session was to ensure the final result would be as accurate as possible and the most representative it could be of the staff's position in the matter. I understand if the messages of convocation were vague, but I tried to ensure all was covered in the voting thread's OP in a impartial manner.

I hope I'm wrong, but I feel some of the criticisms towards that course of action could have stemmed from the belief I was attempting to garner more votes for the option I was championing. That is wrong. The purpose of the voting session was also to put to rest the whole topic once and for all. I simply wanted to ensure everything was said and done instead of insisting that was the case when almost half the staff was to weigh in.

In the end, similarly to Annabell, my main objective was to see an official policy in place. The option of what was to be the official guideline was a relatively secondary matter. I expressed my satisfaction when the consensus was reached and I'm not bothered by the fact that I am not to create the type of pages discussed back then in the way I personally see most fitting. And that's because I know it was ensured the other way was the one accepted by the majority of the roughly dozen of people that keep this place together. I wish I could say that we all appear to have let go of this situation in the same way.
