I heartily concur. Your behavior is more that of a dictator and apparently Cruentis is fine just letting you wave your mod powers around without any kind of rule or restriction. It's severely uncool and is honestly killing my motivation to contribute further. Why bother if some bully with a banhammer is just going to erase all my hard work?''

These are hostility and personal attacks, the latter is false accusations for one thing and name calling.

Wikis are not about egos and who did what. Edits will get changed or removed, mine and Leigh's included. That is the nature of wikis.

Let's provide some context shall we?

Hive Resin - I was responding to two comments who called my edit "insincere". Leigh needlessly removed my "See Also" edit. These were minor and inoffensive additions, hence my comment (which while snippy, still doesn't impugn Leigh as a person).

Hostility/Name Calling - I was raising a concern about Leigh's behavior and compared it to a dictator (and you, Cruentus, being apparently fine with nearly every decision he makes) and that as a result, my motivation to edit was suffering. I don't see the harm in expressing how I feel about the site's moderation. I can't call Leigh a bully for needlessly undoing and reverting edits of many users in mass but you can call Freight despicable and it's fine? Even if you're right, it's still an indictment, which is a rule break.

I know this. But we're supposed to be equals and when we can't find common ground, we're supposed to compromise. I tried that, and it was rejected, by you.

My Edit: Backspines may be a physical marker of the maturity or power in a Xenomorph. Stronger, smarter castes such as Praetorians and Queens have more numerous spines, while less intelligent and fragile castes like the Runner have no spines (and develop them upon evolving into stronger Xenomorphs).

You removed this, even though it is all true and correct.

And you removed it for the same reason you warned and blocked me: You have a heavy-handed, my way or the high way Moderation style that stifles the community.

So you admit to ignoring the Policy's guidance on the first block ideally not being longer than a week in favor of your own judgement. Noted.
