Note that the above message was the last message I read and that no later posts were taken into consideration.

I'm unable to log onto chat at the moment. However, we did PM in the morning, and Nusdan, I understand your point of view. You may need to talk with Hackey however. Before then, I didn't know that there was more behind the block.

I'd like to point out something for the two of you though:

@Nusdan: Before performing such a drastic action such as blocking someone for a month (which should still be a one-month ban by the way), it would be great to discuss this with the other administrators. I happened to simply stumble across a GD wiki regular being blocked for an extremely long time on the block log, and many things weren't explained at the time. I couldn't find any related thread as to why it happened. I even PMed quite a few other users on chat about the block, and they didn't know anything. All I saw was an angry rant for the reason of the block. No matter how stupid it seems, please remember that open communication is the only way to keep things sane. When trying to explain someone's incorrect actions, you cite what was wrong (link it if possible) and explain calmly why you think it is wrong. Under any circumstances, saying to someone to be "welcome to go fuck yourself and never come back to this place ever again" truly does not solve anything, if anything, makes matters worse. On Wikia, we critize people's incorrect actions, not them.

Either way, I'm really glad that you took your time and limited internet to discuss this initial rash action more thoroughly and calmly. I know it's hard - I've been there. Regardless if you told me on PM, I appreciate that the thread was created and fully discussed:). Long messages go a long way haha.

@WolfLord: Remember that backstabbing ANYONE under ANY circumstances is strictly against internet policy. I wasn't sure if this actually happened, but Jolte confirmed it above. If I were you, I would go and apologize to ALL of the people that you did this to. Cyberbullying isn't the way to an inclusive community, which is right now why I feel Nusdan's block was legitimate. If you really hate the community this much, I would suggest moving to another active community or leading your own (which you have been doing). My stance is that the community is what builds the wiki, and if you hate the community, you do hate the wiki. You don't like the people who run the area, I know there's no point in you staying and wreaking havoc.

Regardless, I do admire your strength in carrying this argument through all the way; it shows a growth and maturity in your part (we didn't need that transparent and empty "thank you" message in the middle of the argument haha). This is the way to effective communicate your thoughts.

@Both, if this is the last time I speak to both of you at the same time, I want to close off by saying that last Thursday was Thanksgiving! Not only did I have a great dinner with my family, but we got to go around and say what each of us was thankful for in life. I'm thankful to be surrounded by great friends like the two of you, to Nusdan for giving me confidence and giving me the ability to speak out, and to WolfLord for reviving the Color Switch wiki and giving me a chance to fully lead a wiki alongside you and John Fanboy. Therefore, so the thread doesn't end tense, I would like to ask one last thing.

SO...even though it is hard with these recent situations, I would like for the both of you to name something positive that you respect about each other to close off the thread. Thank you. :)
