The most messed up thing about this thread is the fact that the people's consensus are, "Yeah, strip her of her power, but let her review for us because thats what she does best." Really now, that sounds so counter-intuitive it feels like I went back in time with how twisted that feels.

That said, I don't like demotions. In general; in all of my time being an admin anywhere. All they do is axe a problem, but never get rid of it, and it lingers around like stale air in the bottom of the house. Hell, I still see talk of the prev Crat every once in awhile. But that's besides the point. But do I want to see Sel get axed? No. But let me tell you my opinion of this.

She herself is described by Ender pretty damn well in a short phrase that I like. "A double edged sword that both hurts and delivers, but the hurting side is serrated.", I'd say it works out quite well. Sel herself is actually quite active in the community, clever. Since she has taken a step back from Reviewing to rethink things though, I find it interesting that Pending fills up and everyone wants her back and junk. Yet

But then there's the moments when she'll more than likely return the flames if a user flames her initially; And perhaps flame said user in time. Usually I see it happen to her, but there are times when something said will trigger it. It is a lapse in tact from her, but while I do understand the wavelength of flame to flame back; I just however choose to condone it on my own preferences. You may as well, but also consider the fact that if you approach her in a civil, non-flamey and completely unbiased manner, she's more than likely to respond back in an identical manner.

Demoting her would just make more problems come up in the long run though, in my opinion. Sure, it feels like you just killed the mighty beast, but when you kill the thing that actually took care of the ecosystem and the forest turns to ash, then who really messed with what?
