User blog comment:Phenglei Kai/Seddie Domination - The Self-Perpetuating Cycle/@comment-3196794-20110317172714

my opion on this issue: if ud been on here the post couple months at least u saw exactly why the creddie base on this site has dwindled. Firstly since i've joined there have always been more seddiers than creddie supporters on this wiki, so even the creddie page ended up usually having more seddiers commenting than creddiers which is fine as long as everyone is civil. The problem consistently occured however when a creddier posted a comment eg y they thought creddie should remain or why they think its the best ship or how they thought a particular moment was 'sooo a cute creddie moment' the seddiers start to comment, disagree, negate their validity etc. Now alot of ppl have said you shd be ready to defend your ship and if its a civil debate it shouldnt be a problem. Lately most have been civil on the page but even so imagine as a creddier you go to your page and post something re your ship that ur excited to share with other creddiers and when u come back you have 6/7 comments all from seddiers saying 'i disagree!' or even a well constructed rebuttal. who wouldn't get discouraged? And i have seen this happen sooo many times on that page so really if i was a creddie i wouldnt post a blast on here either quite frankly. So to fix it really would need to get more creddiers on the site (bc i dont think its fair to tell the seddiers they cant post on the page) bc the consistent one sided losing battle without enough support has to be frustrating. That being said every new creddier that comes is gonna face the same issue and prob leave anyway. As the blog says, self perpetuating cycle indeed. Good blog Phenglei
