First off; proof that Books isn't immature. I was kinda scrolling through Books' contributions(here) the day that you said that they were immature on their voting thread, and honestly, I didn't find anything immature, rude, impolite, or anything like that. I didn't go all the way down because edits in the way past should not totally affect this, but from what I've seen(and now from this thread and the AJSW), they're a super kind, respectful, and fun person to be around. The only thing that I could think of was(I hope I'm not confusing you with someone else here eek) when they were hosting a giveaway and there was some confusion with kudo-ing,  but that was resolved and I think it was a misunderstanding that can now be put aside.

Not to mention, on the AJSW, they dealt with the votes against them extremely well, as I quoted in my message in the thread that you closed. They were very respectful of your opinion about their promotion, and even offered an apology for the whole "K BYE" thing, which was dismissed/ignored by you. Then, Books even thanked everyone who supported them for in their promotion, which was kind of them. Everyone has their flaws, and I'm not trying to say that Books doesn't(aaaaa sorry no offense eeee i'm so socially inept), but I know that Books is overall a really great person who is not immature, but silly in a great way.

This is gonna be my longest ted talk yet yee

Second off; the hate (and the hecking block) that Books really didn't deserve.

It's horrible that we've made Books feel unwelcome, or hated, on our wiki because of all this. Nobody ever wants to feel like they've been kicked out, shunned, disregarded, or anything like that, and I'm saying this from experience; I've experience it in real life, and it can be crushing. Sure, you might not think it's as bad online, but you can never tell what a person is feeling like behind the screen, which is why we really always have to watch what we say before we post it. Just a few things that people have said that could have offended, hurt, or made Books feel unwelcome:

1. "ouo i find it a bit satisfying when stuff like this happens"

It's hurtful when people say that they're satisfied in the pain of others; maybe i took this the wrong way, but it made it sound like you were happy about finding something bad against Books, and happy that you could turn others against Books becoming a staff member. I understand that you were against the idea of them as a staff member in the first place, but when you kinda say that outright in a place where you know they'll see it, it's harmful. Also, wouldn't a lot of people vote for themselves as staff? That much I wanted to point out.

2."I'm just gonna deny this application... and close the thread"

I'm not sure if Books was offended by this, but I was and i think Undertrades might have been as well. Books apologized for the k bye misunderstanding, yet you dismissed that apology and closed the thread regardless of the fact that the Books getting promoted did have majority rule, with only one or two people reconsidering their supportive vote.

3. "if all you do is cause drama, and you don't want to become staff anymore (i was actually gonna make you a mod if I saw improvement) so I guess we're done with you now. you have about 3 offenses so, pce for 5 days."

This comment upset me a little bit because Books never incited ANY of the drama that occured. The drama that occured was staff-incited(we're not getting into how that happened because it's not the point), but it wasn't Books' fault at all and it's not fair for the blame to be put on them. Plus, the 3 offenses? You continuosly evaded our questioning about that, and then in that comment you also said "i was gonna made you a mod if i saw improvement", which also could have been taken offensively as it implies that you think they need to "improve". If Books did commit three offenses(which I'm still confused as to what they even are), then they never received warnings of any type for them, so it wouldn't be fair to give them a block. Sure, with a vandal you block them immediately, but vandals are the kind of people who are out to get blocked. But with this, Books had all good intentions, and didn't deserve the block. I also wanted to point out that just because you might not necessarily like a person in paritcular, it can't become a reason to block them. It wasn't Books that stressed you out, it was that some other staff members were disagreeing with your decision to not promote and block Books. Books did NOTHING to contribute to your own stress, it was the staff. And even if a person does "stress the pancakes out of you", it really shouldn't be a reason to blcok them. If it was, then for any wiki, things would probably be total anarchy.

Lastly, Books, like Jammy mentioned, can put what she wants in her profile as long as it's not offensive or inappropriate. That's why me, Safari, Lilli, and Jammy(Ginger might have been part of it too idk if he was in or not XD) were saying that if Books was getting a 5 day block for not apparent reason, then we would have our own little blocking party and get ourselves blocked too. I know that you cancelled the block because of that, not necessarily because you agree with anything that any one of us brought up, and i know that it won't necessarily affect anything about whether or not Books is staying on that wiki, but this is an overall PSA that even though you are the founder and generally have the most power, if within the staff there's a majority rule, the opinion of the staff should be considered here, and that we should all be aware of how our comments affect others.

I'm sorry for stirring up any more drama even after this was supposedly resolved, but coming here and calling Books a hypocrite was was "inspired" this TED talk.

I'll just do my big apology paragraph right here: I'm sorry for being a total hypocrite, useless b-crat, and immature child in this TED talk, but i did feel it was necessary and there's not much going back once I post this(i'm not deleting 40 minutes worth of typing XD). I'm sorry if I caused you stress, but I just want you to know that none of this is Books' fault, it's mine, and you shouldn't attack/block/come after/make comments about Books. Any of that goes to me now for not just leaving the rest of this be until something like this happens again.
