And not to go on about this but obviously this is bothering me. I would like to think I would not have live in trepidation after trying to help/relate to an upset user from someone granted with "Helper" and "Councilor" status. It comes across as demeaning and invalidating- which is the last thing to expect from a helper or councilor.

You're seeing something in what Tupka said that I don't see. Likely, you were the only one who took it as a slight.

Tupka's point is that unless your time around here is relevant to the point, it isn't important and should be left out. In this case, I don't see how your time period of experience is relevant...

More directly to your point, FANDOM set a precedent by keeping Forum available (we're using it now), but adding Discussions for new wikis. However, just as happened then, many people were disappointed and upset that they couldn't start with or go to Forum (and many still are). In my opinion, you are the one doing the invalidating. You're trying to make it seem that people who think UCP phase 1 sucks don't have good reasons, because they don't share your point of view.
