I'm not really interested in reading them. I disapprove of this latest in a long string of overly restrictive moves and frankly, this tightening grip on the wiki means that I have little interest in returning to the site next year. My decided lack of interest in returning is attributable to many reasons, and this tightening control all over fear of this 'social network' business that very little widespread alarm was raised over prior to now is one major factor in that.

Well forgive me, but I was not aware of that in regards to the anonymous editing. I knew none of that. Besides, I'm not complaining about how that matter of business was handled.

I take offense at that. I don't deny my personal fault there, my attitude does suck a lot. And I've been trying to put a stop to that as of late because frankly, I'm no longer in a fighting spirit and I have no desire to fight with anyone else over something so petty. I don't like the show, I don't care about the show, so for the most part I've begun to ignore the show. Ignoring it has been better than fighting about it, this new show is no longer my concern. And not concerning myself with it has done me wonders in my time staying away from it. I'm rarely pursuing serious talk of it anymore anywhere else beyond general info of what's unfolding, then moving on with my usual business.

Doesn't matter to me anymore, I'm blocked. The wiki at present is useless to me. Besides, I don't like what it's becoming. It IS an encyclopedia, no need to be worrying about the need to make the distinction when it's already been made. But I'm disagreeable with some of the measures taken in enforcing it lately, so my business from now on is no longer on AW.

I don't know, maybe I just feel like it's become too difficult to have a discussion or debate there like we've always done since it's founding for fear that all of these new regulations will be used to tell us we're doing something wrong. It's not like everybody who's a regular user there is taking outside chats unrelated to Avatar subjects there now.

Just to clarify, I don't deny my attitude has been bad in the past, but I came here because part of me is still concerned about the severity of these new restrictions there, and how do I know they won't go further than they already have eventually?

Rhetorical or not, I am answering them anyway to get this matter of business out of the way. I'll just leave on the parting note that I don't like the implications for the user-friendly nature of AW under these growing restrictions and how do I know they won't be further tightened in the near future with them having gone this far? Few other wikis have gone to this length to distinguish an encyclopedia from a "social network". But because this one has, I have very little interest in coming back next year. Yeah, sure, it's just comments now, but what's next down the line? I don't even want to guess.

Hey, I KNOW my views are not "absolute truth", but this is how I perceive some of what's been going on lately. I disapprove of it, okay? I may not be able to raise any sort of objection that will be taken seriously, but I will still quietly disapprove of it from afar all the same.

We all know AW is an encyclopedia. The majority of us are not foolish enough to misidentify it as otherwise.

Yeah, I seriously doubt I'll be back next year. Not because of Korra, because I don't care much about that now. But because I don't think it's that much fun anymore.
