I think you are the only one who has a problem with this. We have six confirmed reputable people to assist in this (including a mod), along with the backing of everyone except you. If I am not mistaken, I have offered the chance for everyone (including mods, and including yourself) to play a serious part in this. Almost all of my decisions have been influenced and backed by opinions and voices of other people. Is it really hard to just say thank you for losing sleep in order to attribute something neat to this forum?
Actually the 'debate mods' only have your backing. I'm sure people are too polite to openly disagree with any on your choices. Perhaps if you made a poll with a list of applicants then you might find that 3 or so people got 95% of the votes cast.
As you say, all of your decisions. I think that says it all. You've lead the discussion and it's been relatively unfocused. So people have been agreeing with the gist of your posts which has been rather vague.
Call me a democracy lover or something equally unpleasent, but I think it would be better if there was a discussion in which everyone was equal and they were able to work out some kind of consensus.

I did not make myself boss, I have acted on an idea that I wanted to see work. If you did the same thing I wouldn't question you and put you down.
I have not once put you down, I think you don't like that someone has disagreed with you.

Furthermore, what does my english have to do with anything, when I have made it a point to involve others in this system, to watch myself included. Besides I am an English teacher, and I think when the time comes, you will find that I have an exceptional ability to speak well. No one said that you couldn't be a part of this, and no one said that Casino couldn't either. I have already spoken quite clearly on this matter, and you seem to be the only person who does not appreciate it. If you do not appreciate it, don't play a part. If you do appreciate it, play a part. I do not understand how a complaint like this helps progress.
I think your English is an issue because I think people struggle to understand it at times. I know I do, my pal Licky does too. I think it could be an issue, because I assume you will make the opening post, the one that one team agrees with and that the other team disagrees with.
 
Ok if thats how you feel. You do not need to participate, but we will still do the best job we can. The only reason I made decisions in the first place is because I am the only person who stepped up and worked to build it. Please do not try and throw a wrench into what we are working for. Right now we are looking for solutions, not problems.
 
That doesn't mean anything.
You've ignored what I've said and tried to frame the argument in terms of me destroying all your hard work. I don't think that's the appropriate way to deal with constructive criticism.
 
This isn't a debate, so drop it. Roland is in charge because, as far as I'm aware, considering he's the OP on this thread and the other threads on this subject, he was the one who brought the idea to the table. He's also done a great deal of the legwork to get the idea off the ground. If you have a problem with it, tough. You can either participate in the debates or not. Your choice. But stop trying to tear them down for no good reason other than you don't like how it's being run and/or the person running it. That's childish.
