User blog:JERealize/Progress Bar: Issue 017

Okay, sorry, but can we please start the next Progress Bar now? (July 14, 2013)

Blogs of the Weekend
Okay, this is in a separate namespace for the sole reason of being a crucial point in the wiki's development/deterioration. Let me see...

It started a while back when Bridgette_dj10 posted a blog about an upcoming project the user had planned when Avery FireFlame posted an ill-meaning comment:

"People don't read things unless they're written by certain authors, so good luck expecting feedback on this."

- Fire

After that, a full-on flamewar emerged against Fire's actions not only on that blog but in chat as well, and then new blogs were forged in this war. Owenandheatherfan tried getting messages through that simply weren't listened to in chat, but the flamewar continued through there. More followed on Mystery's blog and Fire's blog.

I have to say, this is a bad sign. Fire has chosen to leave the wiki outright, and with that, we are at DEFCON 3. Any future outbursts like this, and the wiki will become either shredded into bits or forced into lockdown, and those are two options that I don't want to see happen. If we have disagreements, they can be discussed steadily and softly over a cup of virtual tea. Of course, disagreements are inevitable, but by discussion, we can avoid further harm to the wiki so we can enjoy the wiki's 5th anniversary on August 25, 2013 (It's actually August 27, but can't we move it to a Sunday?)

Audition Tapes
