>>78518536Hiro, and moot back in the day, could only pass along messages to mods or vice versa. They aren't gods. Some mods are too elitist to change, look at Wookiepedia. They could've lost Star Wars licensing if they'd continued refusing to make canon pages as well as EU pages, because they'd essentially be writing off the new licensing owners' content, which is obviously a big no-no. It took almost 18 months for them to agree to do their jobs, and that's assuming Disney /didn't/ say anything to them.
People are stubborn jackasses, period. Anon's will refuse to bend either way on an issue, mods will do the same, and moot and/or hiro have to bare the brunt of the blame because mods are largely anonymous. It's everyone's fault for being people. Don't blame the stuffy nose and fever, blame the cold that's causing it.
