Yeah, I can understand. As I said above, we can ask a different staff too... meaning if Semanticdrifter and Brandon Rhea continue to refuse based on the small size of the discussion, we can secretly send it over to another staff without the use of Special:Contact. It may not be ethical but it should get the point across to everyone that we are not willing to give up even in the face of staff telling us otherwise. ;) Again, I extremely doubt staff is ignoring the situation. There are a lot of factors we don't know.

And one staff member would never undermine another staff member in a choice they made. Rabble rousing the situation won't help, and can lead to making things worse.

Just give staff time to respond, they will. I've pinged one of them, and they should be able to give a response soon.

This is exactly the kind of thinking that I feel is dangerous. Refusing to change an opinion even if it was created by another staff member is the wrong kind of behaviour. I feel that Semanticdrifter was ignoring what I was saying, I don't want politics to interfere in the decision reached. Just because Semanticdrifter indicated that he wouldn't get involved further is not a good reason to refuse to change an opinion.

Further, although there are many unknown factors, I do feel as though I'm being ignored. The multitude of messages I've sent have always been answered in a propmt manner, at least 2-3 days. Here we are, almost a week since my original message. I either want Staff to respond to and refute my claims, uphold the community consensus, or be clear in their bureaucrat removal method. That's all.
