Alright...

First of all, your demotion was done with the majority of admins solidly behind it. In fact, only Ryan abstained, and only one other admin (and one rollback) voted against it. So to portray your demotion as having been done without the consent of the rest of the council is highly erroneous, and I'd love to know where you got that information from. As for it being done "behind your back", we weren't prepared to wait god knows HOW long for you to show up so we'd do it in person, since the very reason you were demoted was because you were too inactive. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no conspiracy at play here.

(And I should point out that your past accomplishments don't necessarily protect you from demotion. You used to be a great admin, FH, but this was no longer the case. If you want to remain an admin, you must remain active. All admins are held to that.)

Secondly, in order to clear up any confusion about it, I was the one who said that if it were up to me, I'd demote everyone but myself. I distinctly remember that I told you that in a PM conversation I was having with you, FH. However, I was only half-joking; the reason I said that was because I was very frustrated with all the fighting going on between the admins at the time, since that was in the midst of BB's push to have you demoted late last year. I thought it would have been clear by the context that I didn't truly want to become a despot and rule this wiki with an iron fist, but I guess it wasn't.

Finally, this wiki's staff isn't corrupt at all. On the contrary, the very fact that you were demoted was an effort by the rest of the staff to show that they weren't corrupt. Do you know how many complaints I've received about you, FH? There were a lot of users that questioned why you continued to remain an admin despite your inactivity and disagreeable behaviour in recent months, and many of them chalked it up to corruption amongst certain admins, specifically cronyism. Watch my back and I'll watch yours, you know? Well, I (and the rest of the staff) had enough, and we decided to take action.
