A reply.

40kfan’s recent blog highlights a trend in “the oppressive admins” cliché which is often brought up by disgruntled users, many of whom have had fallings out or have had poor relations with the admins. 40kfan is of no exception. After failing to brown nose 3 or 4 members of the admin team by preforming the same kind of behaviour he accuses them of here, 40kfan would go onto to make four “I’m leaving” outburst within blogs or on chat after this was pointed out to him. This is just the latest in one of these blogs.

As always, 40k has latched to a bigger issue and tried to make it seem like it’s not about him, but it is. The entire blog is another attempt by 40kfan to subvert a larger issue (which doesn’t actually exist, or is so minor to call it that would only be hyperbole of the mot fallacious sort) and bring attention to himself. Nothing stated in this long ramble of a blog has any real gravity. I’ll begin by picking apart 40kfan’s argument with the opening;

“I can’t take this anymore”

This is the 5th time you’ve said this.

“How is a picture of dead children out of ten be a tolerable thing in any sort of situation?”

Well some people find it funny. We’re on the internet 40kfan, and some people here enjoy dark humour. I don’t think anyone claimed it to be appropriate.

“And why is it that these days anyone who isn't a literary savant or a jaded satirist is looked down upon for polluting the wiki with their so-called "mediocrity"?”

The only people that the community has ever truly looked down on are those aiming for the achievements you mention later.

“News flash perfectionists:”

No one here is a perfectionist. This is base hyperbole.

“if everything on this wiki was a masterpiece of fanon, then the content here would get pretty boring pretty fast, don't you think?”

No, probably not.

“What's the point of standing out if you've got nothing to be compared to?”

You imply all articles would be of the same quality, which would be almost impossible to achieve, yet alone think of.

“Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that most people who contribute here write because they like to write, not because they want to win an award.” See my pervious point on “achievements”. Very few people care for featured articles.

“But I think what gets me the most is that people who are the most judgmental are the one who don't even contribute anymore. If you think you have the right to call out everything you perceive wrong, why not prove it?”

A classic “to the man” fallacy. Simply because someone has not built a house does not mean they cannot criticise it, nor does it mean I cannot criticise something if I have not written someone, or criticise a movie because I have not made one.

“Actually, don't try and prove it, because said proof would likely be yet another Orwellian satire of wiki politics. I'm sure it gets even more original after the five-hundredth time you've done it.”

Actually only one story was written, and it was off wikia. Again this relates to my opening points about how 40kfan tries to make the bigger issue about himself.

“I'm just sick and tired of dealing with the rampant inclusiveness that makes no sense (mostly because I believe that people like Hitler and Stalin tend to be terrible role models), “

Hyperbole and ad-hominens everywhere. The wikia has massively improved since the new admins came in.

“and yet suffuses every part of this place nowadays. For the love of god, if everyone who disagrees with said veiwpoints even in the slightest way is a newfriend and an autist,”

You mean people who have disagreed with the following?

¬	Quality Control ¬	Removal of stubs ¬	Stricter rules ¬	Trying to put a lid on passive aggressive shit posting

Or are

¬	Outright abrasive and egotistical ¬	Don’t intent to improve

Yes, truly a crime these people are considered bad.

“ then this wiki must be populated mostly by autistic newfriends”

It is.

“This wiki used be a great place, and there is no doubt in my mind it can be again, we just need to focus a bit more on cleaning up community-related trash as opposed to article-related trash.”

We’ve already got rid of the article issues. A thank you would be nice, but I feel that trying to get rid of the people who achieved this would be counterproductive.

“To those of you who agree with me, feel free to share your own opinions on the sate of the wiki. To those of you who disagree, by all means, please explain to me why I'm wrong. Because if you just end up rating this blog "death camp out of 10", you'll just be proving my point.”

I just did.

Now, for tl;dr

It’s 40kfan’s time of the month (or bimonthly time) and he’s decided to go all out and do a Bladium style “revolution now” by attention seeking of the lowest level.
