I've slept on the issue and given it some more thought and I've decided my current contentions aren't enough to make this worth it so I'll change my position to neutral. Even if I did contest the current calc successfully, I'll have 3 or 4 other calcs to address and it's not worth it at this point.
This has been a very troubling thread for me because of the antagonism I'm facing from some of the opposition. It's not on the level of name-calling or outright trolling but it doesn't have to be for it be an unwelcoming environment. Even minor things like DaReaperMan insinuating that my only opposition is due to the result being a "big number" or Kachon123 accusing me of stonewalling and trying to rush the thread to completion while I was asleep despite me informing the thread that I was working on a response is extremely off-putting. SnookB continually not understanding what my arguments were to the point that I felt like he was strawmanning my arguments makes the discussion exhaustive and when I requested that Calc Group Members actually explain their position on a topic that I am fairly certain I was in the right for, I had KingTempest saying he'd be "well within his rights to close the thread", basically saying that he'd just shut the discussion down if he felt like it which funnily enough would have stopped this brand new version of Method 4 from being created as it only came about because I pointed out the flaws in the original version of Method 4.
I mean, come on guys, I am trying to help the verse and this is my way of helping the verse. You think I'd waste hours of my life on this if I didn't care about One Piece or the accuracy of our profiles? The attitude I get back from people here though if like they're treating me like the Devil who only shows up to spoil everyone's fun time while they're upgrading One Piece. If I don't show up to point out the sometimes frankly obvious flaws in some methods, then who will?
Frankly, if everybody thinks there are absolutely no flaws with treating Dressrosa as though it was an 84.2 kilometer diameter, then go on and have fun with that but a lot of you need to reflect on your behaviour on this thread. This is one of the very few One Piece threads where I've had to give someone an official warning and it sucks because I'd much rather everyone debate this civilly regardless of what the outcome is.
Damage it was
you and Ant who veto'ed my thread in 3 days because you guys didn't like 2 character scaling to something.
You have rushed every declined upgrade thread and halted every accepted upgrade thread since I joined this website.
Several times when there are staff who pop up in the 11th hour and say "I disagree", you just kudos their comments, say thank you, and then try to close it without any clarification on why they disagree.
Worse case scenario you just utilize your staff privileges to just open and close a thread when you feel like it.
You
did that here when you reopened a thread just to twist votes into a possibly rating.
You
did that here when there was no traction for days for something that could possibly get accepted, but here you took a week just to comment on 1 calc and you brought up how "
if the only opposing party does not reply for over 2 weeks without any notice or known/suspected extenuating circumstances"
But now we have 3-4 CGMs who disagree and you're upset because "they don't understand me".
There's a person in the rvr right now who's getting reported because he disregarded votes solely because "they don't understand the premise of what I'm saying".
And you heckling people to force explanations just because they disagree with you, frankly, is just sad. Disappointing and sad.
You're not arguing in good faith if you're arguing like this and it's unbecoming of a member of staff. I expect this kind of language from brand new users to the site and it's not encouraging for a healthy debate.
And in my own personal opinion (which isn't mine alone), you ending your message with
Frankly, if everybody thinks there are absolutely no flaws with treating Dressrosa as though it was an 84.2 kilometer diameter.
Instead of "no flaws with using a flawed calc", "no flaws with shutting up arguments", "no flaws in your behavior", "no flaws in the conduct of this thread", etc.
Then that just proves to me you didn't like this because of the value alone. Nothing more, nothing less.
I owe you no thanks whatsoever for doing your job and "fixing" said calc. You questioned why I didn't use a method for the calc, I did the method for the calc, and you had an issue, with this message proving it was solely because of the size. So no, I'm not giving you thanks for that.
I don't care if you're "trying to help the verse". At all. Everybody tries to "help the verse". It's clear your way is solely your way. You don't need to make everybody smile at your ideology. You need to accept the flack that comes with it like everybody else.
Every time a thread goes by that you heavily don't agree with, you just stand there and bitch about how a value is higher than what you want it to be, and I'm ******* sick of it. You a grown ass man. Stop ******* complaining every time things don't go your way.
That's how everybody in here feels whenever you apply a bullshit revision and we just have to sit there and mope and cope cause you were right once in a while, yet you can't deal with it when it happens to you.
I'm sick of your shit. Grow up, take the L, and either plan for the future or shut the hell up.
