Ced, just remember that we need to listen to the community. We're supposed to be neutral; you know, we need to keep our personal business (our "p-biz" :p) out of our duties. I'm sorry to say, but if the community votes to demote you, it's most likely going to happen. What the Wikia staff does can't be overridden. The best thing we can do is negotiate.

I honestly think we need to tell them what went on in our PM's, to ease the situation. I know you said not to, but I really think we need to right now.

Basically, Ced agreed to promote DS to buro (after they apologized to each other) - he just wanted a few days to cool down before hitting the button. Yesterday, he said he would do it soon. Ced, please hold true to this, even in light of the current situation. That's what the community wanted all along - for DS to be a buro. If you promote him, they may agree to not demote you. But even if they do take away your buro status, at the very least, you can rest knowing you did the right thing. And I'm sure the community will agree to at least keep you as an admin.
