Oookay I'm going to rewrite everything with all things that came to mind while writing what was meant to be a two-line reply.

First, wheter the blog comes back, doesn't matter too much to me, but I want to mention some things about it because I - personally - believe it should be different. I understand no one is forced to agree with me, and I don't want to force people to do that, but I just want the admins (or at least one) to know and consider my opinion, and I know from myself I'm not adept at letting that (as in: not wanting you to feel like I'm trying to force something upon you) stay clear through my post, which is why I mention it now.

One the snippets you took out: It feels a bit to me that you feel like they were the main point of the text. In a way, that's true. But it's NOT what got me to write my text. Well, in a way it is, but I would NEVER have posted it here if not for the rest of the post - the reasoning which made me believe I was right in those parts. I can understand you skimmed the blog and saw the parts that stood out, which were those due to them being bold and in caps, but they're NOTHING without the rest of the post. Had I not managed to get reasoning together, I would not have bothered making the post on the forums - let alone copy it here, as I mentioned in the lead, for discussion.

I also wanted to mention something out of your first post: "I deleted it after a user complained about it." Considering you constantly reply within the day to my posts and the discussion I had with one of the commenters in the comment section, I believe that when this guy (or girl) did not get his right from me when he said it was a rant blog, he decided "I can't get my right this way, so I'm going to an admin and get it deleted that way so I get my right anyways". Which I - naturally - consider downright childish, also taking in consideration that there were several other discussions going on in the comment section, and that the blog was already on the main page for days without removal, and had actually almost fallen off it already.

Lastly, what is a blog actually supposed to be about? For example, this blog here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Poisonshark/PS%27s_ideas_on_classes_2:_Ability_kits I'm not saying it's a bad blog (I haven't read it, so I'm not going to put down an opinion on it), but it's been posted about the same time as my (two days ago removed) blog, and has gotten one reply from two users plus another one from the poster. Meanwhile, my blog has recieved close to 30 replies, and while nearly half of them was mine, the other half was, I think, from about 10 different users, of which only ONE was complaining about the blog "being a rant post". The others ALL had discussions with me about it, or had at least written a nice wall of text to match mine about the subject. And in fact, that number of 30 is even very easily topped. Currently, there is a blog with over 80 replies on the front page (and actually it's more a question than a blog, so again, I can ask what a blog is supposed to be about), and I remember a blog I made myself - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Leyrann/New_Summoner_Spell%3F - surpassed even that because it was so controversial - in fact, I have made blogs about hard counters, elo rating and the (non-)existence of elo hell, placement matches and more, which all got to or passed 90 replies, because they provided discussion. Now, I can't easily mention blogs from others because I have no idea who generally makes good blogs, but I would say that the amount of comments is a good measure of how good the blog is - Blogs are, I believe, supposed to provoke discussion above all. About elo hell, hard counters, the new champion, placement matches - ANYTHING as long as it's healthy discussion. Due to the limited options of the wikia I understand asking the whole wikia community a question can only be done by a blog, but I don't see why a controversial topic - as long as it's written in a way that allows discussion, and mine was (you can see that both from the length (you don't get that length without showing your line of thought, which is your reasoning which is something to discuss about) and the amount of replies) - gets removed, while a blog that is interesting enough for 3 replies in 6 days does not.

A bit of an unrelated ps: I now feel like writing a blog about something to provoke discussion...
