User blog comment:Sannse/Ideas to improve this wiki/@comment-8-20121031180515

I think one change that's important here, is to cut down on the dramatizing of real events on the wiki.

I know it's exciting and fun to talk of an argument on this wiki as "a war", and to dramatize those that disagree with you as "enemies to be defeated", but that tends to escalate and worsen the disagreement rather than calm it.

Remember, there are real people on the other side of the argument, and they are likely to genuinely believe that what they are saying and doing is right (I'm not saying they are; right, but that they believe they are right).

To characterize the dispute last week as "a war", and to keep a page that romanticizes it, is harmful to the wiki and to the possibility of resolving your differences in the future.

I would strongly suggest changing that.
