I support the removal of those who abused their position, but I think this is a very unfair generalization on me and many inactive admins who never vandalized at all.

When I left I only used my old admin/crat account to combat spam (while still at the new wiki) and to update the whitelist with permission from VTSF so I could inform you of copyright violation. This may be nothing to you but I don't want users work being stole and unattributed as an admin here clearly did. I have not given out rights; in fact the last change in my name is removing SolarBot from December 2010. Please don't attribute me with deeds I haven't done.

None of this is in anyway vandalism or against policy and all my actions would be or were recommended by Wikia's VTSF team. Throughout my time at the new wiki I have thoroughly detested the use of vandalism as I know what it is like to have to deal with it. With this account, made to avoid confusion over my changed online identity and to allow you to get on with things here, all I have done is help out by fixing the name. None of this comes under vandalism, extremism, or damaging Wikia in any way, and I find it slanderous that you would defile my name in an approach to make out as if everyone at the other site is an evil revenge-driven crazy fanatic who should be publically shamed for the events of a few users.

As for other admins the majority have nothing to do with it and have been inactive for months or years before the event and so, again, including them in this is by far a persecution for doing nothing, as is blocking and is, in my opinion, unjust. When removing rights it should be done on a case by case basis and not on a general "everyone before me is a bad-do-er" approach.
