A request to those who take issue with something in the mod

[khelvan]

To EB, conclusions are to be drawn from evidence. We don't make a conclusion and then retroactively search for evidence to support it. For us, there is no definitive answer to questions of ancient history, only evidence that supports various arguments. Sometimes, the experts who have gathered the evidence are busy, not available, or have sadly gone inactive, but we still arrived at our conclusion this way originally.

The above response is appreciated, but may be missing the point; I merely mean to say that anyone is welcome to present evidence that supports a conclusion different from one which we have made. However, it should be done just so; as evidence, not as a presentation of truth.

The point was to set expectations and hopefully adjust attitudes, not to rally anyone to a cause. Of course people have a "right" to present their arguments however they wish. If, however, the goal is to help the mod, that way will be completely counter-productive to the goal.

of course, i didn't mean to start a cavalcade of posts supporting EB. what i meant is that often other posters (not the EB team) will have their own ideas about certain aspects of the game (especially when it comes to what units should be included in the game/what equipment they used), and that rather than provide a logical argument for their inclusion supported by evidence, they come up with one little bit of evidence they can find and then become angry if someone on the EB team disagrees with them. one example of this is people who argue for the inclusion of camelry. i do not hold anything against people who would like to see camelry included, but so often they do it in an manner that is not appropriate and it can get annoying.

Well said Khelvan!
However I feel that the people who want to contribute to this great mod in a polite way will have the natural instinct to do as you have said. Those who will react in an arrogant manner will most likely not follow your different points. It is the same as asking not to flame or to insult each other on forums; or to respect the opinion of others: there are always people who will flame, insult and disrespect people.
We shall see the difference this post does.

I know Khelvan wasn't stumping for praise or votes, but sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.

EB fan here, and I despise arrogant, rude flamers.
