Keeping things simple: I would like the thread re-opened, and cleaned up, so that other people have the opportunity to respond, because I would still like to know if anyone else can think of a downside.

Perhaps everything but the first two replies should be removed.

The majority of my first post consisted of analysing a number of justifications I had already encountered. I thought that this communicated that my intention was to analyse whether further suggestions were applicable to me.

I'm sorry that you see this analysis as an "attitude toward disagreement.". I was not disagreeing with his suggestions, I was simply stating that his suggestions did not apply.

Well, except for the case of SEO with nofollow links - I disagreed with that, because it's provably wrong.

I have been on Wikia long enough to have been indirectly insulted by other users on multiple occasions, and my complaints about indirect insults repeatedly ignored.

The best example that comes to mind was being told "People who use external links instead of interwiki are dumb". Wikia Staff confirmed that it is perfectly acceptable for people to indirectly insult me in that manner, despite the fact that the insult was clear in context.

So you can see why I feel that you are applying a double standard to me right now, especially since the first insult in the thread was him calling me a "fool" for not learning "business 101", and that you can't cite how I directly insulted him.


 * Overall, you wrote the thread from a position where you had already decided that using interwiki links was inferior to the alternative solution you came up with. Whether you consciously planned this or not, your bias frustrated someone who was only trying to help you. You may not do this in the future either.

I'm not sure what you're telling me: I'm not allowed to have a pre-formed opinion in future?

For these reasons, I do not think that my "opinion based on facts" can be accurately described as "bias".
 * My post was essentially "This is my current opinion based on these facts, please give me additional facts which may change my opinion".
 * I made a concerted effort to make my opinion as clear as possible from the outset, by listed all the facts behind my opinion.
 * I objectively considered whether each of his suggestions applied.

It is not my concern whether Mor123, or anyone else, was frustrated by my opinion. They are not required to agree with (or like) my opinion.
