...Okay, that was indeed bad. But that article was a train wreck and I was fairly new at wiki's back then. Also, the response wasn't to people in the discussion, it was to whoever thought the article was good as is. Discussions have opinions. Wiki articles are meant to be as factual as possible. And that means I'm not bashing people's opinions but rather what they present as facts, or even the way they do so. Going over it again, I counted about 12 strikes in my wall of text and most of them were in the quote descriptions were I lashed out the writer. The rest was plain elaboration and I could have taken that elsewhere and in a different fashion had I known where. ^_^'

Also, it may have taken me 27 days to decide to reply, but frankly that is nothing compared to the time it took for someone to call me out on something that, again, I admit may have been wrong. See the bias section of the Tier List talk page to how this got resolved in a more proper fashion.

Anyway, if one goes over the thread again, it sort of stopped being a flame war almost two months ago, in this bit: Soulephant wrote: I agree, to some extent. The way you formulated this is kind of weak though. What if you were good with Ganondorf, yet your opponent is good with any "high tier" character?

Of course, by the very prerequisite of a tier list (players are equally skilled), your skill comes first and then the tier list. The tier list does matter, it just isn't decisive very often because 90% of the players are actually normal persons with varying levels of skill. And even if it was decisive you simply cannot say you won by "tier list". Now I want to ask one more time (and if I should shut up at once, just say so): Which of the two is true for this discussion: 1) It goes downhill even after that same person picks up normal discussion again. 2) It had what could have been a ongoing flame war, but later went back to being a normal discussion.

I'm pretty sure it is the second option. With that out of the way, let's try to keep it normal this time, shall we? ^_^
