Hi Nikolai,

I read your blog, and congrats on the good work and positive message. I like your use of the word "fellowship", I think it's a great word that describes the feeling many people have in their Wikia communities, and it's not a word that I see used very often. And it's always great to remind people about being reasonable and seeing situations from someone else's perspective. It's good advice for Wikia and for other parts of life.

I do have two suggestions as you write in the future:

1) Sometimes longer sentences can be split up into two sentences. When I write, that's often a change I make when I go back and re-read/revise. The point of a statement can sometimes get lost in a very long sentence with lots of commas.

2) You can attract more readers by including an image or some other graphic in a blog post. Sometimes just pure text can be a little intimidating to a potential reader, and he or she won't even start to read. Should this matter? In an ideal world, no. But we do live in a time where's there's lots of reading material coming at you constantly, and it can help to have some flare to grab attention. Don't think of it as diluting your message. A relevant image can actually help to make your point! Finding the right image is something that Sannse and I talk about all the time for staff blogs, it can be a fun challenge.

Again, great work, I can tell you gave it a lot of thought.
