I've rarely, if ever, interacted with Cyradia in game. From playing since the 2nd age, I've always felt Cyradia dealt with Immortal responsibilities from behind the "An Immortal" hat. I've occassionally guessed she might be who I was dealing with, but I generally assume it goes with her opinion of the characters, and the admin being seperate.

Ultimately, this deletion reminds me much of (I believe) Ordasen's deletion. I could be wrong, and I'm not really too interested in speculatin beyond the following. CF Immortal Staff is somewhere in between a hobby, and a structured organization. Not everyone is always going to like everyone else, though in general I'd say it's above average getting along for any random group of people. There is accountability to others above, but there's also a good bit of leeway in that someone's not going to be an Immortal long, or raise in level without trust in that person's judgement. However, sometimes one person's opinion of what is reasonable disagrees with another. Sometimes it comes to where it's just overall too much of a disparity. Personally, I'm a manager at a nightclub, and I've spent a good part of five years keeping 30+ people content with each other, if not always happy. And that's with them getting paid to be there, compared to voluntary.

This is strictly my opinion, and I know nothing of what the actual situation here was, but Cyradia's been a staff member a long time, and one I've always respected here in the forums. I doubt she would make wild accusations, though everyone's perspective IS their own. Even in her deletion, it was stated she's welcomed back.

In closing, this has always driven me up the wall - is Cyradia male or female behind the curtain? Cyradia & Trabryn's profiles each state the sex for the character.
