Regardless of what Kagi might think, I ask you to use your head: There are multiple perspectives involved in this decision. Due consideration of these perspectives is important. Think from all the angles, or as many as humanly possible, at the very least. There are multiple factors to consider, not just the strictly logical ones, but also the emotional ones. There is a balance to be maintained. Not all of us are Vulcans in mentality or temperament.

I really do believe your reasoning is legitimate. The reasons you present really are... well, real. I am not calling your reasoning into question. What I'm calling into question is nearly everyone else's. My skepticism has some grounding to it, as people generally (but not always) have an aversion to change. Case in point: The Sonic fandom itself, and perhaps any other fandom I've been in. It is not unreasonable to believe some have such a mindset when discussing policies, as well. There is strong cultural evidence showing people can have wildly varying reactions (mostly negative) to changes to the status quo. First of all why do I have to explain my reasons for opposing when they've been explained for me? I read Bullet's comments and was convinced to oppose by them. Why say what's been said again. That just starts more flame wars and arguments that I don't want to be involved in. I just wanted to give my two cents on the thread without getting involved in a giant debate..

Second while I don't speak for Bullet I read Kagi's comemnts and I find Bullet's logic to be the best

Third you basically just said that you find Bullet's logic sound and you are failing to say why you are opposing. He just countered your arguments from earlier.

Fourth how is oppositon negative, you said that we have negative reaction to change, and I'm offended by that. This isn't even the status quo. This rule has only been here for a few months.
