I always value the completely unbiased opinion of a girlfriend. So let's address the issue you raise of how well I knew him according you. Now as his girlfriend, I'm sure you knew him quite well, and probably better than anyone here, but there is a very simple explanation for this phenomenon.
Would I be wrong in saying you two live near each other, I don't think so. I am relatively certain you two have met in real life. However meeting someone face to face can be quite difficult for some of us here. Contrary to popular belief, Australia is very far away from Brazil, I can't just hop on a train and rock up to Cello's house each weekend. No, me and everyone else here is forced to base their conclusions of Cello from what we saw from words on a computer screen. And after working with Cello for over a year, these are the conclusions many of us reached. We can't all be wrong? It's not our fault if Cello chose to be one type of person on the Wiki and another in real life.
Second point, I am not questioning his love or passion for this Wiki, AC, you, or anything else in his life. I'm sure he did care a lot for this place, cus if he didn't... well I imagine he would've left years ago.
Now.. that power and authority remark. Well off the top of my head he did create a blog once called "POWER... UNLIMITED POWER". I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. As for authority, well up until recently this Wiki did have a strong hierarchy. Cello was of course at the top, I'd say that is somewhat authoritative, no?
Also, I never called him a "demon", or "horrible", or "demanding". Throwing in all those extra adjectives is a bit much, isn't it? I didn't go that far. In fact, hold up, wait just a minute... STOP THE FUCKING PRESS! I've located an interesting detail I left in my original message. It reads the following: "I had no personal issues with Cello, none of us did. He was an alright guy most of the time." Hmm, I guess you skipped that part.
Finally, asking me to shut up? For what exactly? Expressing an honest opinion? Interesting... I wonder how Cello would react to seeing someone change their true opinion just so they don't offend anybody, and keep everyone pleased. A very reliable source told me he wouldn't want that.
Lovely talking to you, always a pleasure.
