 * 1) Users coming from Brickimedia to LMBWikia will usually have absolutely no idea what our wikia is technically about. This will of course carry no benefit to our wikia (just think about it.) and in some cases may have a negative effect.
 * 2) I am concerned about users going from LMBWikia to Brickimedia. Privacy is an issue with many of us, I believe, and Brickimedia is much easier to invade than LMBWikia.
 * 3) Users from Brickimedia and users from LMBWikia do not have the best of track records in getting along with each other. There is no reason why we should physically endorse one another.
 * 4) Meiko, one of Brickimedia's site operators, is globally blocked on wikia. Wikia would not be happy to support his branched-off website, so this may lead to unwanted arguments with wikia staff.

Please don't come at my comment like cats after a mouse. It seems very silly and extremely immature to try and change my mind. I have voiced my opinion, and I fully oppose enforcing Brickimedia, as you support it. I have not gone after your "I support."s and I ask you to respect my opinions as well. They won't change anything, I know, but since your opinion of someone goes down everytime they put out a simple "I oppose." towards your big ideas, I am obligated to keep what little good image of myself alive.

I think it is quite odd that you say trying to change someone's mind is immature. Debating is an excellent way to learn new information and see things from different points of view, allowing the debaters to form more mature and well-thought out views. There's nothing immature about that kind of thing.

Anyways, I won't try to change your mind, but I will point out a few things that are simply false.

1) New users would be coming to our front page, where they will read what our wiki is about.

3) Brickimedia is not the same as Brickipedia. There are other wikis there, including Stories and CUUSOO Wiki. Furthermore, we've really moved past any grievances.

4) Brickimedia is not "Meiko's website". He is a system operator and a constructive member there, but he does not own it.

Also, we're not enforcing Brickimedia, and I don't know what you mean by that. You are false as well.

1) She doesn't mean they won't know what it's about, she means they will not know what the MBs are.

3) But Brickipedia is the driving force of it.

4) To Wikia, all Brickimedia is Meiko's playground and a competitor.

By "enforcing Brickimedia," she means deciding on a move and making everyone move. Heh, what's false about being false? A Kepler, of course! 3. We of course are the driving force. Hate to break it to ya, this guy is chat moderator there and spends a lot of time there. I'm the only person that mentions the LMBW, if at all, with the sole exception of Agent Spy. 4.Brickimedia is not George Barnick's playground, and he is not the owner of it. He's just another one of the countless system administrators (on Wikia we like to call them staff. Brickimedia is not Wikia's competition, only the Wikia Brickipedia's, which will eventually be phased out. Logic, Keplers. This isn't a riddle now, is it?
