I have a feeling there's more to it than just that, and this is an "innocent" way of ridding the wiki of Journalistic. What he's done so horrible I don't know. Some of these guys apparently have a bone to pick with him (what it is I have no idea) but I see no other reason for them being so vindictive toward him. I really don't know what to think. Me, Myself 123, and Sacorguy79 have explained our reasons for being critical of Journalistic, reasons which we feel are perfectly justified but aren't being sufficiently addressed. Indeed, as Myself has pointed out, this thread is starting to boil down to people making childish retorts instead of actually acting like adults and talking everything over as calmly as can be. I won't lie, I've been quite annoyed ever since I saw what happened to my Site Discussion forum and seeing how Journalistic has been behaving ever since I logged on, but I'm trying to make some sort of effort to not go overboard with how I address people on here, even those I think are making really stupid arguments. Yeah, I'm acting quite passionate right now, but as far as I'm concerned I have every right to be, because from my perspective I'm seeing an Admin acting like a loose cannon and being completely unapologetic and pompous with how he's addressing people who, at the very beginning of this incident, merely wanted to know what was wrong with the threads he was closing and why he seemingly wasn't taking anybody's questions to him seriously, and there are people on here who are, even now, trying to downplay his actions and behavior while trying to emotionally manipulate Journalistic's critics into changing their minds without actually addressing their criticisms in a satisfactory way. I even have people right now who are refusing to address things I'm saying to them and have instead resorted to mocking me and anyone who feels the same way I do. And Journalistic himself? He's just egging his critics along, even now, rather than answering the bulk of the criticisms himself.

Again, as far as I'm concerned, right now I and several others have every reason to be more than a little passionate in our positions and arguments right now. I didn't want to see the thread go down the direction it seems to be heading, from what I can see, Journalistic himself and many of his supporters don't want to talk things out with us like reasonable adults and would rather dismiss our concerns and ignore what we have to say, and see ourselves get unjustly mocked for daring to hold the positions that we hold. I would be more than happy if everyone could calm down and think everything through carefully before resuming this discussion, but right now, Journalistic and his supporters don't seem to want to do this for some reason. It seems like Jouralistic's enemies are the ones who don't want to calm down. This discussion is turning into a fist fight (with words) And I'm not sure if you read what I put a little while ago about us agreeing on working together like friends but you should. If you don't want to work together like friends then why not just say it?
