Ned, I am going to be brutally honest.

At the very beginning of my participation on this wiki, I didn't like you. I don't remember how it happened, but I started a flamewar between us almost immediately. After a while, we made our peace but the scar of our words lingered.

But as time has past I have changed my view of you. Instead of seeing you as some angry bureaucrat, I saw that you were funny, kind, and truly a genius. You have contributed so much to this wiki and I can't imagine seeing it void of your prescence. (That may sound romantic, but it shouln't.  I'm not gay for you. I am, as EpicNachos is, just really unhappy to see you go.)

Ned: you should stay. I know that, as WheatsPort said, this wiki has grown a little apathetic, showing indifference towards the emotions of its contributors. But we can improve it, and we can unite as one, caring group, focusing on bettering each other's contributions. The stub articles can grow long, the inaccurate ones become realistic, the angry thoughts grow cordial, and the hard hearts grow soft for the interest of the greater good and the enjoyment of the wiki.

I am starting a blog post, more of a poll, called "Please Stay Ned." I will ask people to post a comment if they like you and don't want you to go. Then we may see just how much people enjoy your prescence on this wiki.

Signing my name like I did before I got a user,
