I'm sorry LOAF, but it's true what others have been saying. I've kept out of this discussion as much as possible, but it make's me despressed knowing where this project may end up if you are in charge.
The problem is:
You ( and BradMick also for a part ) both have a vast knowhow of the WC universe, and this is in reality blinding you. Becouse you have this knowhow, you both dont like it that people add things that arent 100% accurate. I mean come on ... spiritplumber added the wrong base for the Kilrathi Super Base ... no biggy ... she added it becouse it looked like a Kilrathi base ( shape wise ). Responce's like "man, do some research or something....." are uncalled for.
spiritplumber sugested a girl she knows how is good for community management. In a few seconds time the sugestion was shot down by you LOAF. And yet at the same time, your yelling orders how things need to be done, how you are the better person for the job. Did you even give Michelle a chance? No you dident. What we see is your positioning yourself in a commanding spot. And people here dont like it. Does it surprise you that people are refusing to work with you & een call you arogant, dispite your efforts.
In my opinion, Michelle being a WC noob, may be the best person for the job. Why? Becouse she isent obsest by the WC Universe, this way, she can keep a open mind & not point the project to what she thinks WC Universe needs to be. Also, in general, women tend to be the better one's when it come's down to communicating.
LOAF, based from a neutral point of view, your best job becouse of your knowhow, is Q&A. You see something that isent right, point it out. But, that's where it needs to end. If spiritplumber add's something, and she feels adiment that it needs to stay that way ( dispite being in contract with the WC universe ), its her right.
So, if she wants to bring in Michelle, give her the chance to proof herself.
spiritplumber is in charge. She is a great coder, and a diplomate at the same time ( something that most programmers dont have ), and she sidesteps the landmine's lots of times already. The fact that most people support here is proof enouf that she is fit for the job. So what she sais or does, goes.
There is no use in this constant power grabbing attempts. Let the project do what's it doing now, slowly building up it's resource's, supporters etc. If you dont agree with the direction spiritplumber is taking WC:Universe, then there is a easy answer to this. Then fork the WC
project, start your own project with yourself, BradMick in charge. You can still work with the WCU, share models etc, but stop this daim power discussions. The project is starting to get siderailed by it, and it hate to see spiritplumber quit becouse of it.
