"Stop talking about D'Vorah or I'll close the thread"; "I'd appreciate if you didn't tell me how to do my job". I recognize that having to take care of a wiki that is so "active" at the moment should be really exhaustive and annoying, and that we actually should be talking about D'Vorah elsewhere, but did he really have to talk to us like that? He sounded like a sinister security officer or something. It almost scared me; I apologized and created that new thread instantly, despite being really late for school. Because I totally can't see what you're putting on threads and what you're saying about me at all. The thread was going off topic, it was about Goro and not D'Vorah, so yeah, I wasn't doing it to be a dick, I asked nicely to take it onto another thread if you wished to discuss D'Vorah, It was only when the anonymous user told me to just ignore it, I was willing to close the thread if it didn't get back on track as it'd just be spamming people's notifications about D'Vorah when the thread was about Goro.

If you seriously have a problem, inform me. Talking about me behind my back won't go well at all, the thread was off topic and I asked nicely to make another thread about D'Vorah so it's not cluttering the thread about Goro. I didn't call you a dick, just rude. Like I said, I recognize that you must be working overtime now that the wiki is "hot", and that we were actually in the wrong thread, but I didn't see a reason for you to talk to us like that. Seriously, you scared me - not for being an admin, but simply for talking like that.

But sorry for talking about you on your backs. I actually thought about asking you why you've acted like that, but I didn't think you'd care about a comment like "Hey dude, why were you so rude to us?" when you should receive stuff like "We need backup with Jade's page" or "Please fix the seventh paragraph of MK X's page", you know, important stuff about the wiki. I didn't think a "sinister security officer" would give a fuck about something like that. Just let me know if you are always this officer or not.

And maybe try to listen to other people's opinions sometimes. I agree that the suggestion from the anonymus guy wasn't appropriate, but you didn't have to go like "don't tell me how to do my job". Sometimes you'll be right, sometimes you'll be wrong. It happens to everyone, even admins. The way you said it sounded really authoritarian and unnecessary. It made you look like a person who always thinks he's right about everything and doesn't need any advice or suggestion about anything. For example, if you're not really authoritarian, I'm sure you'll at least think about this suggestion I'm giving you. For example, I was wrong about talking about you behind your backs and now that you've shown me that I'll try not to repeat this mistake.

I never implied you called me a dick, I was using that word myself. I agree, the "don't tell me how to do my job" may have come off as harsh, it wasn't intended, granted it was roughly seven in the morning for me and I'd just woken up with a really bad headache when I typed up that reply and frankly I was just too tired to even consider re-wording it, (insomnia's a bitch like that).

I try and reply to most messages I get on my talk page so I'd have likely replied when I could, there are some exceptions I don't reply to messages on my wall, but I'll leave those disclosed. I'm not this "supposed" officer, I was somewhat grouchy from being up so early and I tried to be as polite as possible when I saw the thread was going off topic and it was only when the anon told me to just ignore it I was getting irritated.

If I truly were this supposed "authoritarian" then chances are I'd have banned the people on the spot and the anon possibly a longer one for such a suggestion. I didn't, I was trying to be as reasonable as I could and as I said above, the anon's suggestion which was rather inappropriate just irritated me to the point I worded it in such a shitty way, so that's partially on me I admit.

It's fine that you apologised about talking about me behind my back, but it could have caused issues if someone else saw it, I'm not implying someone would've put you in the bad lighting but it would have made a situation out of it, knowing that you didn't bring it up with me.

tl;dr, I tried to be polite, I was tired with a pain in the ass headache and the anon's comment irritated me about "ignoring" how it's gone off topic, when I'm intended to stop things like that happening.
