User blog comment:Azrael the Sorrowful/I know I said I wouldn't/@comment-25401609-20150714101505

Here's to an uncomfortable moment for everyone. I can't say I agreed or supported everything you did, but I know you did it for the right reasons with the right intentions. Regardless of how well things went or didn't work, you should at least be able to leave with a head held high.

That being said, I disgree with your statement about here being dead. Maybe the original idea you had for this place died, that I would accept - but the dynamic is changing drastically, and while you might not agree with what they're doing, in terms of longevity and quality, one important key fact remains - people are enjoying themselves.

I fully believe this place can come back from the death-like trance that holds it now. I don't know how to get more members in, but for at least the next little while, it won't die.

You mention the need for what you did around here, which, as far as I could tell, made the tough calls. That being said, maybe a few calls were tougher than they needed to be, but it would be weirder if you had done a perfect job.

I'd be lying if I said you were my favourite user; hell, by the end of it, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't mad at you. I felt too often you pushed too hard and were too inflexible; that did rub me the wrong way, but in the the grand scheme of things you were just trying to do the right thing.

In the end, I'd just like to thank you for setting all this up. Regardless of the various tiffles, you did a good job, and this wouldn't be here without you.
