I said that Vertigo is nowhere near as bad as Ibarber. I was just demonstrating the difference between users who want to help the wiki, and ones who are in it for themselves.

I vastly prefer actual constructive criticism to insults, but when I read criticism I prefer not to read 500-word multi-paragraph entries using unnecessarily long-winded big words that sound desperately tacked on to make one sound more intelligent. This entire blog post could have been summarized in something like:

"So I was reading the page for The Godzilla Comic, and I realized that it was listed like it was only one story, while it's actually several stories put together. I took the liberty of correcting the page, as well as renaming the Godzilla Raids Again (Manga) page to its correct name, ''The Godzilla Comic Raids Again."

"Also, I have a few helpful pieces of advice to avoid doing this in the future. Using Japanese sources and translating them is a useful way to get correct information and avoid mistakes caused during translation. A lot of misconceptions get started this way. It's also important to fully read sources so you get all of the information and not leave out important things."

What we got instead sounds more like a thesis being presented by a professor to the public. It's unnecessarily long, and it uses big words and overly strong words to get past some simple points.

Maybe I'm just tired of always getting talked down-to by people, and it makes me unnecessarily sensitive when people criticize me in a certain way. My biggest pet peeve is people questioning my intelligence and trying to make me feel inferior.
