(posting this on this thread as well because it's very important)

It pains me to read HeroGaming's reply to your most reasonable suggestion. He has reiterated once again that "I am not a supporter or backer of injustice. These men are bad guys. They have greed in their hearts and their only goal is power."

Sannse, please think about the things I've said to you both through email and here on your wall. Has one thing I've said ever given you the impression that I am a bad guy, that I have greed in my heart, that my only goal is power, or that I am a liar? Has a single edit or piece of evidence been documented supporting these notions about my personal character? Please consider whether or not Hero is being reasonable in his response. Does he love Terraria and the wiki? Absolutely, I 100% agree. Has he done a lot for the community? Absolutely, I 100% agree. On the topic of whether or not Hero is a "supporter of injustice," just look at the egregious administrative abuses that have been documented, or the nature of the "vote" that he held against Gracey and myself. '''I cannot put faith in the notion that Hero is being honest here. Can you?'''

I too love the game and wiki, and have done some things of my own to help out the community. For example, take a quick look at the effort that I put into pages such as w:c:Terraria:Home or w:c:Terraria:The Twins. I've also made numerous blog posts, such as this walkthrough, I've attempted to engage fellow editors in working on team projects, as well as provide tips on how to edit and deal with vandalism. Hero's continued accusations against me are simply not true nor are they well-founded.

On the topic of promoting me to an administrator, Hero himself has said previously that "i just happened to read a few of your guides and thought you were the right person for the job atm." As you can see on our talk pages, Hero and I have had some friendly conversations quite recently. I understand that there's a lot of hurt happening here, but what exactly have I done to so swiftly change his opinion that I'm the right person for the job--to saying that I'm a bad guy?

I'd really like a chance to talk things out with him and you, Sannse. I've made a lot of positive contributions to the Terraria Wiki, and I possess knowledge that very few editors/administrators (not even Hero himself) may have. If we look at this honestly, surely it would be in Hero's and the community's best interests for me to remain in the community? Why would he say that he wants to leave the community if I become part of it again? I do not want Hero to leave the community--but neither do I myself wish to leave it.

Please don't allow this to end in the manner that Hero is suggesting. Despite what Hero may claim, it's absolutely not in the best interests of the community. People's voices are not being heard fairly here. '''Hero's dishonesty should make you and I seriously question whether or not he really has the best interests of the entire community at heart... or just the fraction of the community that consists of his youtube following.'''
