I seriously think we do have a problem of "let's get rid of something I don't like just because I don't like it" like Shabook said, plus a bit ego involved in arguments, which leads to people not wanting to move their stance even if it is to meet at a middle ground in some arguments.

Seems Monolith clarified his statement, but reading it yesterday, it did feel like a personal attack and I understand why TMAO would be bothered by it, I feel everyone that adds content in any type of form to the wikia, unless it's just false/wrong content, it has value and that should not be diminished, I've seen that happen before, but like I've said it seems Monolith apologized and he didn't mean it that way in these instance.

I agree with a lot of what Shabook and Annabell said, so I'm not just going to repeat their arguments in a less eloquent way than they did. I do think we need some policy updates/changes to make decisions easier and not make it into a heated conversation every time we want to change something, seems to me it has been like that the last few months. I have taken myself out of some conversations due to those situations, I've opted to read other people arguments and vote when asked, because I haven't had the time lately and I do not want to get into a big argument with someone for days since that isn't healthy for the Wiki community, it doesn't seem like a new user friendly situation, which is something we should be cultivating, I know some new users have created problems recently, but the bigger the influx of users that participate, the bigger the chance we get of good additions to the community that want to help it grow adding valuable content.

MrKermit I know Annabell didn't mention names, but like I mentioned above, I was one of the mods that told her how I felt, I know you don't want us to talk outside the wiki about wiki related problems, but as you can see, I have no problems stating my opinion here, I don't talk to Annabell, or anyone else outside the wiki specifically for that, but we are both part of the wiki, so the topic obviously comes up.

So at the end of the day, I have a good relationship with most if not all admins/mods at the wiki(ignoring the ones I never talked or interacted), I believe they all add value to the wiki and I hope no one leaves because of this situation. I'm being pretty vanilla and cliché in my post, but that's really what I'm hoping.

As usual sorry if I'm being confusing or repetitive with my arguments, but I wanted to state my opinion, confusing or not.
