Hi Neon,

Thank you for contributing your opinion to the thread I made discussing the misuse of FlipText. So far, the situation is that everyone has expressed that they would prefer not to have FlipText hide essential information (like for Warwick's Q), and that, if anything, usage of FlipText should be generally limited to avoid any frustration or inconvenience. That is, everyone except Willbachbakal, who is the one responsible for the misuse/overuse of FlipText in the first place.

Will, rather than giving any solid reasons to defend his use of FlipText, has generally taken a strategy of passive-aggressive dismissals and accusations against me personally. He also immediately reverted the change to Warwick's page I made based on the overwhelming support for removing FlipText on his Q (this has also happened previously with DarkSigi making the change based on comments on Warwick's page). In defense of that action, he keeps mentioning a lack of consensus even though it's four opinions to his one and he himself has not attempted to bring anyone into the discussion.

I do not think Will by himself should have the authority to revert an edit that is backed by the opinions of four other editors. I also do not think Will has been reasonable in how he has made his arguments and how he has refused to acknowledge or discuss the most important points I've brought up. His behavior is consistent with simply trying to put up as much of a fight as possible while hoping everyone else either gives up or forgets about the issue. In my opinion, this sort of behavior should not be allowed on this wiki, intentional or otherwise.

I'm not sure how Will has come to think he has the right to make sweeping changes on the wiki and then prevent any further edits, edit warring if necessary. But I really don't think this should be allowed to continue. It's true that I'm not too familiar with this wiki as an editor (yet), but it just doesn't make sense to me for it to be so difficult to make a small change, with other editors and users alike of the same opinion, just because it's opposed by Will.

Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you for anything you can do to help.
