Ace, the main issue is that you are absent most of the time, but then you have this habit of coming back, and trying to do massive changes without any rationale or reason. You get pushed back on this, tempers flare, and then you dissapear for a while after the fact. Dragor usually bears the brunt of these spasms, which is why he was the first to resign. Especially since he has been at the receiving end of your temper multiple times to the point where you have removed him as headmin multiple times, only to reinstate him again after the rest of the staff protests.
The fact that this happened again today, and that you tried to force through your decision again, is the straw that broke the camel's back. At this point, there needs to be a change of direction. Ace, you need to stop whiplashing between 'Absent' and 'Not-so-benign Dictator'. You were at your best when you gently guided things, running events on the server, and the like. Also, at this point, simply apologizing is not going to fix the problem. You need to step down from Headmin and Host. Maybe for a few months, maybe permanently. You think we can survive this, but, truth be told? Dragor, Slingblade, Kisuke, and Duke? They all were massive helps, especially Dragor, in restricting your more destructive impulses. Now they are gone, so I fear for the next time you decide to make a massive executive decision. Another factor is that you do have a past history of retaliating against staff during disagreements, usually Dragor bearing the brunt of this, which, combined with what happened today, is going to weigh down on the minds of anyone going forward.
Ace, you need to let go. If you do not, this server will likely not survive for a whole lot longer.
More specifically, you need to let go of the executive position, maybe step back to Admin or even just Game Master, which is exactly the kind of things I feel you need to be doing. You need to be more active in a lower role, not as an executive. You need to stop whiplashing between top executive and inactivity.
