Forgot to respond to one last thing:

To make this story more complete, and I admit that I was elegantly telling staff to f*** off, they previously told me to f*** off in several ways, like when they enabled discussions on our wiki without even notifying us (the admins of the wiki) about this. And of course, when we told them to disable discussions. So this was clearly a way to tell Staff that if they don't cooperate with us, we won't cooperate with them.

That is a completely different story. I've never heard of Fandom enabling Discussions on a wiki without that wiki's permission, because that feature is still very much in beta. If you came here about Fandom forcibly enabling Discussions on your wiki, that would have been a completely different thing. There's no reason they should have done that. Only new wikis get Discussions by default, but all old wikis are waiting until the feature has matured before having it enabled there.

I get why they couldn't disable it - you can't disable Discussions after you've enabled it - but they certainly should not have enabled it in the first place. On that, I totally agree with you.

Still, that does not outright excuse you to act like this to Fandom staff, especially any of them who may not have been involved in the Discussions debacle, when they try to help you with something completely different and 100% beneficial to your community.
