We are both people after all, I try my best to act reasonably and respectfully to anyone on here regardless of any positions of power or disagreements, because I know that's how I'd rather have people act towards me, and I would only ask that you do the same :)

...I will assure you it wasn't an attempt to copy or steal your design. It's not a perfect world (and in this case, not a perfect mod). ;) I believe your armour should be just as susceptible to critcism as mine (which it has been, from much of the admins), whether you want to claim it's "emotionally charged" or not. Because it's not blind troll hate, like some actual hate/troll comments I've seen around. If people agree with me (some have), or not, so be it, but there should be no need to go so far as all the admins coming on the chat, calling you back on (lol), and harping about the Wiki "tearing in half" (which will never be the case), or even going as far as deleting a comment that I have the right to make about the design (Sam said Grievous deleted a comment of mine on the Wood-elven Armour board). I would say if you were truly secure in your design choice, none of this would've unfolded (Sinth having to call you, admins butthurt over a joke, etc.). What happens happens, and people should be able to make their own choices in statements on the design.

I will say like I said in the PM. Apart from certain aspects, I respect you and the work that you've done overall on the mod, enough for us to at least coexist in one chat (or one Wiki). I take the Woodland Realm very seriously (as if it wasn't obvious already), and I am only making a stand for what I think is best for my kin. You should know that unless it involves my kin, or it's something mortally, extremely bad, I am not one to step in or make a bold statement (or any statement for that matter). So I just wanted to clear up that I don't go around spewing this stuff out all the time, like some admins suggest ("bitter", "make your own mod if you don't like it", etc.). I just have strong enthusiasm and conviction for something that I don't think benefits my kin, especially when it looks like the Woodland Realm is singled out from additions (head crest, nice chest plates, etc.), that all the other Elven denominations seem to have.

I never accused you of "stealing my design", I don't know how that came into the picture.

The essence of that PM was just to make clear the mutual respect (you do you, I do me), but at the same time clarifying I am not changing my position (dislike towards the design and some other choices), all at the same time, clarifying I don't hate you, the mod, or the Wiki as a whole. A statement of mutual neutrality.
