You were really pissed off back then. Was a scary time for us all. :P

Yea, it takes a lot to get me angry and once I am I tend to be very dramatic. In the future if I lose control and start doing something like that again I want our admins+ to know that I'm not untouchable, I'm just like every other user. If I start doing something that hurts the health of the wiki I deserve to be put in time out just like everyone else.

eventually a compromise was made by removing anonymous commenting, so what was the need then for the additional staff?

Eventually is the key word. At the time we did not have the capability to do something like that. I was trying to get anonymous editing and commenting disabled and wikia told me that it goes against what a wikia wiki should be, despite us having consensus as a wiki to do it, and that if we couldn't handle it then we should contact the vtsf (wikia janitors) for help (they said this multiple times). It's a bit silly in hindsight but it was my way of getting back at the idea that we couldn't handle it ourselves. I would not go to another wiki for help.

If I may also be so bold as to ask, what caused this shift in attitude? There's this and you've also been a lot more active talking to people in the comments lately too.

Mostly some personal stuff, 2012 and 2013 were extremely rough to me and it only started to settle down and get better recently. I'm a very emotion driven person and my enthusiasm level was pretty much down the drain for the majority of the year.
