Hi Dean :)

Your request received serious consideration this morning by multiple staff members. Obviously, your contributions are valuable, so we wanted to make sure that you received our full attention. The last thing we're trying to do is to make you unhappy.

It's just that you agreed to this merger about a month ago, saying, "Feel free to [merge]". So we did feel free. Wheels started spinning; waters started flowing under bridges. And I'm sorry, but the case review today concluded that it's simply too late to stop the merger, or to reverse what's already been done.

Since you've started contributing here, I hope you'll be able to find a way to continue. I would urge you to give it more time and to consult with your new colleagues here to try to find a way to work together. I've found both Re coded NL and 2Actimv both to be reasonable guys who are amenable to suggestion and collaboration.

Finally, it's important to stress that you are absolutely needed here. The fact that I have to deny your request today is no reflection whatsoever upon your talents as a Wikia editor, or your dedication to the topic of football. Rather it's a matter of pure pragmatism.

Please consider that this community will not be as good without you as it could be with you.
