Well this message is on Obi's wall, but it's obviously written for the masses, so I see no problem with commenting on it. I'm trying to take this all very seriously, but why is there so much bitter bias here?....when I look at a suggestion of demotion I expect to see some good meaningful reasons, like blatant abuse of rights such as randomly banning people just for fun, or actually breaking rules like spamming, swears, death threats etc. Not this grudge-fueled personal feud style pointless criticism, blowing facts way out of proportion and unjustified name-smearing. And from the log, many are obviously choosing to have a dramatic main chat overreaction to Neh's statements when they could easily take no offence from them, or, man-up and have a mature PM with him about it if they do have a serious problem. Yes, you could cheaply argue that comments such as Neh's are potentially offensive, but I'm sorry, you could twist any controversial statement enough to say that about it. Does that make it definitely non-offensive? Not necessarily. But does it make it a valid reason to suggest demotion? In my opinion, certainly not.. I really don't see anything as problematic as what has been claimed here. The man is mainly simply stating his opinions, just like everyone else here does.Which, as a side note, makes this whole thing disgustingly hypocritical. Just an example, I find it sad that the same people calling for Nehpets demotion here are some of the same people who constantly make immature light of homosexuality and relationships in general. "omg user x made out with user y in main chat lol", "i dare you to post pics of pecs on admins walls lol". Seriously, none of that is funny, and if you DO think it's funny, how can you recommend demotion of another user supposedly doing a similar thing (in a different way), with a clear conscience? That I can't understand.... In short, I think this whole thing is really blown out of proportion and could have been easily resolved if everyone was a little nicer and kept their cool. Actually rather than make me question Neh and Ava's rights, if Madkat really encouraged and told Fort to write this, then that would make me seriously question his capabilities. Neh said this wiki was pretty miserable right now, and then straight afterwards, something like this goes and happens? I think his point has sorta ironically been proven....
