Also, for goodness sake, there is no "right" side. No one is righteous here. NHMG took offense to what someone said and posted something that offended someone else, that same someone else said something that offended NHMG who defended his own position only to be battered by multiple other someones who also took offense to what he said, and then he decided to leave because he took offense to what someone said then offended other people who then offended him and now we're all offended. Everyone has a right to take offense to something and to offend other people.

Then again, that doesn't justify anything here since everyone was still utilizing their right to offend and be offended. I guess my point is that calling someone else out on offending someone because they offended someone else is just unproductive and pointless. If I say that I hate hobbits, and then an orc calls me out on hating on hobbits, it's just pointless as that means the orc is hating on me now. Should I then call him out on his mistake? No. That would just lead to the orc calling me out on being a hypocrite, which would then lead to me calling him out on the same, and on and on until a mod comes and deletes the thread due to spam, only to be attacked for surpressing everyone's right of speech, and accused of being a racist rich white male.

Btw sorry if I offended anyone through what I said. I've been spending way too much time reading from r/choosingbeggars and r/entitledparents. I have to point out that the numbers may be skewed towards people who want to keep the mod in 1.7.10 because people who moved on to the newer versions seldom have any reason to hang around here, but if you check the download page of the mod you will see pages and pages of people asking for 1.12.2 version, it's just that they don't have any reason to frequent the Wiki or post in this forum. Can we make a note on the page asking people to stop requesting an upgrade then? As in, something similar to what we did when everyone was asking when the mod would update?
