Subupdaet:

As we have all noticed all my work has been thrown in the trashbin and it's not exactly fun to see that. I direct you to the relevant page where the latest conflict was happening to see what exactly I feel, but here's the long and short of it: I will not under any circumstances pick a side. Before all of this, I tried to rationalise arguments by summarising arguments and adding nuances to them. And for some reason that doesn't work. Hence why I proceeded to flip the burning fuck because that's apparently the only way to do this. And it actually seemed to work, as the below comment chain shows - the people involved cooled down a bit and started making rational arguments and points.

And then the Lunaconflict comes. The fun part is that I went away for some business in the evening and literally right when I check the wiki activity, the last comment on this stuff is 42 seconds ago. And this was roughly 2 hours after I did the above. I hope it is clear that this was not exactly a pretty sight to come back to, quite similar to "Well this is a sight to come back to ain't it" (by LD, regarding the last time I got salty).

Of course, everyone might wonder "why the hell is Fire bothering with something that doesn't concern him and is not his problem even remotely", and the first example of that made me laugh for no clear reason. You see, it's not my problem at all, no. But it all reminds me of the following sentence: "I really want to ease the tension that's ridden the wiki for a while now",  written by Zoshi. It's not my job or task or duty to be policing everything - after all, I'm simply a veteran user - but if this sentence (and in fact the entire message board of the main page as it is right now) is anything to go by, I have a legitimate reason to be bothered by conflicts that only revolve around personal issues rather than the actual subject of the discussion.

This is especially for those that aren't directly involved in this mess, so that they may understand why ol' Fire is very pissed about stuff - and I hope you all know that I rarely get beyond salty. I thank you for your understanding - or for the lack thereof, if that's the case for you. I hope that all of us can for once, for fucking once, deal with personal conflicts with each other and be a little more open about them. This is also an invitation to tell me everything you hate or dislike about me, while we're at it. I don't think any of us wants to go back to the era of power abuse and holding grudges.
