We really don't want [Banana becoming completely inactive] to happen though as this is what the debate is about... I said the last part of that blurb for a reason: this is not likely to happen at all.

We have two very good candidates that stem from two very good backgrounds. Both of them will lead the wiki very well and make good decisions. Also, even if there is only one winner, the other will still be active on the wiki and continue to work with others no matter what. The demands for this position are extremely high but both are capable and are two of the few users (maybe only users) who can hold themselves as accountable as Ursuul has throughout his tenure as the autocrat. It's not like one person is going to disappear from existence in any way."

Okay.....I didn't say one was gonna disappear, but Patrik has already been tirelessly active every day, while Banana has not. That's why it's pivotal that Banana honours his promise. Also, I agree with all of that.

Also from your claim before on how I am rooted in Patrik's favor, I seem so hardcore in my beliefs because I want Patrik to get a shot. I'm not demeaning Banarama in any way, shape or form. He is an amazing leader as well and I have been fortunate enough to work with him on projects but, I really wanted to see Patrik get a chance and illustrate to new users what moxie Patrik has brought to the wiki. Like this doesn't change what I think about Banana in anyway. I hope he realizes that he is still my friend at the end of this process and I hope that we can come to a swift conclusion as this thread has turned into a cage match where everyone roasts each other.

Hayden, relax. I'm not demeaning any of the candidates and neither are you. And this isn't a cage match. As I said earlier, a spirited debate (along with a fair trial of both candidates) is better than a stale discussion, which this could've turned into. I wasn't saying that you support Patrik in a negative way either, that's just how I chose to start my statement.
