The Unofficial High Elf Discussion Megathread

Nah. Really. Dude won’t stop being obtuse.

Ever notice his argument doesn’t even have a point?

Here is what’s happening.

He’s quoting a source from 2006, which is obviously contradicted by later events…

Over and Over again… so people will respond to him. Because he wants to cause distress.

The same way someone like Fyre will say Blood Elves are High Elves over and over again, even after being corrected. For the same reason.

Because internet trolls derive pleasure from you being distressed.

Then take a person like that, put him in a community with a vulnerable population.

Lets say someone with autism that needs to correct something that is stated incorrectly.

That person will continue to try and correct the thing that is misstated or misattributed.

The other person will continue to be obtuse about it. But will also continue to try and come off as being sincere.

He’s not succeeding with that with his fake wiki contributor RP. Somebody that contributes to a Wiki would tell you what they contributed. Also, it’s not a major accomplishment since literally anybody in the world can do it.

But he’ll keep doing it, because if you get upset and need to correct him and it gives you any kind of cognitive dissonance, he’ll derive pleasure from it.

Quote from the Abstract.

Guys, do not be so defensive.

Sometimes it’s just the case of focusing on the right arguments.

Case in point:

I’d suggest quoting it but making an observation that it’s an outdated concept. Like: “It’s said they do not gather in significant numbers, but the rise of the Silver Covenant could mean some of them did manage to organize themselves”.

(Just do it in a better english than mine)

Another issue is that the next paragraph directly after it mentions Vereesa and the Silver Covenant. Hmm…this may take an administrator’s approval to adjust…, I feel anything done would likely be reverted fairly quickly.

Edit: I can still try something small though. Let me see

You should do it. You’re perfect for that kind of work.

I’m very unsure of my english. I know it’s not that bad, but I’m not really fluent in it. I hate re-reading my old posts because I always find a lot of mistakes or weird phrases that I could have written better.

resorting to a personal attack is a common deflect tactic when one is unable to counter sound arguments that debunk weak narratives

also the silver covenant are indeed a militia. they left quel’thalas with nothing but the clothes on their backs and tails between their legs. they have no army or country backing them

they are literally only ever shown as a bolstering force for the allainces real army or keeping portals open

They are their own army and part of the Alliance forces.

A militant core of high elves that rejects the admission of blood elves into the Kirin Tor. They’ve united under the banner of Vereesa Windrunner and joined the Alliance forces in Northrend.

And that’s all I’ll say on the matter.

I’ve literally no idea how to tackle that article in the high elf section. It is a direct quote, word for word, from the encyclopedia, which itself is not allowed to be touched. The paragraph right after it mentions the Silver covenant. It seems almost asinine to mention it twice.

Other than an administrator, i’ll have to say there is not much to be done.

I had no idea you weren’t a native speaker. Your posts are always very well constructed.

I love portugese. I like that accent a lot. Sounds French, but the words are more Spanish.

Is there a talk/discussion page? I haven’t been to that other wiki since the split. You could make a suggestion.

I imagine that page is locked down just because of anti-high-elf trolls.

they are not trolls! they are people like my GOOD friend Miriel who want to protect the sanctity of the blood elves and quel’thalas

pls dont insult our passion and love of blood elves and quel’thalas

I’m actually reviewing the discussions. This very point came up and was posted about only…well yesterday…which I now find rather suspicious that it was brought up here.

The replies are as expected. If able, I suggest going to the discussion section and scrolling down to the end to read it also. My general analysis is that it is likely not going to be changed.

I think you would feel more at home here-
