How exactly is this happening? If I understand properly, people are against NMs becoming DMs, even for a short period of time, because they really should become DDs, and the fact that they can't in a reasonable time become a DD is somehow a reason why they shouldn't become a DM in the meantime? Someone please explain the "somehow" handwaving part there, to me it seems like letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Either there is something I dont understand here, or people are using this particular NM/DM as a pawn for fixing a larger problem (DAM too slow), or grinding an axe over a GR they didn't like. If so, thats pretty lame. Dont get me wrong, I'm not taking either side in either of those battles when I say that manipulating an individual for the purposes of petty politics reveals a lot about one's character. If you want to fix DAM or want to fix the DM GR, then do that, don't try to solve that problem through witholding access from a NM. Or to quote, "What if we fix that problem. . . instead of trying to circumvent it?" What I see are people witholding DM as a petty way around fixing the real issues with the NM queue. Micah
