I know there are a lot of helpful and friendly blogs on how to smoothly run a community on CC wiki. I also know that, traditionally, talk pages were created for the purpose of discussing the content of the page.

The reason I ask, is that on a wikia I recently joined, the main admin seems to be very against any sort of discussion about the content of an article on its talk page. Ironically, heated discussions seem to permitted, as long as they don't concern the content of the articles.

You can see what I'm talking about from instances here and here: http://epicrapbattlesofhistory.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Epic_Rap_Battles_of_History#comm-629865 http://epicrapbattlesofhistory.wikia.com/wiki/Nietzsche#comm-613001

Both of these comments were made by me in response to an edit war and both were met with "DudeWithASuit"'s anti-discussion policy.

I'm afraid to have any conversation with the person, because he refuses to listen to what others have to say (at least me anyway), and I'm afraid any attempt to communicate with him will escalate to conflict and end with him blocking me.

I'm not trying to "tattle" on the guy. Obviously, admins can run a wikia however they like. I just want to know if you had any existing blogs that could help convince him to change his policy on talk pages or could convince him with your own words. It seems contradictory to the purpose of a community run wiki and is rather annoying.
