Some things I need in EB

I'm perfectly willing to engage in debate but you have to understand that the tone of your first post was rather forceful and given the number of complaints we get from people who do not know what they are talking about we get a bit touchy when someone comes in and says "I want this in."

Not that I'm saying we can't take criticism, but you should understand that your post appears a certain way in light of the other stuff we get here.

This whole debate has been incredibly childless, and clearly less about discerning the facts than pissing. The title, by accepted social conventions, is fairly forceful, if not rude and pretentious. But beyond that, I believe the crux of the argument lies here:

This whole thing started as an observation until Wiggy and some other EB geniuses got offended. I don't know about you, but I don't have time to pour over every source (there aren't that many to begin with) for he sake of proving a point that I obviously don't care as much about as some people do.

If you don't give a crap, then shut up. If you're going to propose historical/technical changes to people who do give a crap, and have spent hours poring over sources, then you sure as hell better have done something similar. You, without providing any background our support for your argument, attempted to temporarily step into the role of an EB Team Member - something that everyone who makes a productive suggestion does - but then didn't bother to back yourself up. So, long story short, you don't go to a funeral in your boxers, cause, not only is it disrespectful, but more pertinant to you, you look like an idiot next to everyone else. If you really didn't give a crap, you wouldn't have come.
