User blog comment:LongLiveLion/Leaving, need to get away!/@comment-32154022-20130425131537/@comment-3220924-20130425195229

Can we seriously stop acting like we're monsters who will eat any new user? We're not that bad. Sure, we have flaws - but so does every wiki. In my opinion, this is one of my favorite communities because the people here are nice and opening. I know one wiki where if Mika had posted the same blog, they would have responded with, "so, who cares? Tell your friends, the entire wiki could care less!!1"

Plus, Mika never said that we were being terrible to him, or harassing him in any way. He said he felt out of the loop, and really, anyone can feel that way. I remember once I felt like leaving, and it wasn't the "terrible community", it was simply because I had different interests. I got over it, and if leaving will make her feel better, than so be it.

Plus, really, how bad do we treat her? I was on chat all day yesterday, and so was Mika. I did not see one person treat her unfairly or insulting her. If she feels ignored, then most likely, it isn't intentional. A lot of users feel ignored sometimes, sometimes the conversation on chat just goes really quickly and people don't see your comment. And this goes for anyone; if you feel like the people on the wiki are trying to push your buttons or out to get you - it's most likely just paranoia. Hell, even the most popular users like Toad feel unliked by the rest of the wiki. It isn't just Mika, it's everyone.

If it's such a big problem, why don't you try to do something about it? You're part of the community as well,  so saying that you can't do anything is totally false - you definitely can. Honestly, these "good job wiki" comments are actually starting to bother me - they're extremely pessimistic views that offer no real substance to the wiki.
