The community here is well-known to be elitist, exclusive, and rude towards newcomers. In one of their YouTube reviews of Bleach, you can even hear them making fun of users they disagreed with—it's very transparent.

Xilinoc doesn't like users from a fan fiction wiki I used to be part of because several of us levied some major critiques of the Bleach manga towards the end of its run on his review blogs. However, if you look at my contributions, you'll see I've done very little complaining about the policies of this wiki and, for a time, spent a great deal of effort trying to edit it. Hell, just last week, I (again) pointed out an error on the Soul King's talk page that has repeatedly been ignored, mostly because of Xilinoc's thousand image uploads blocking out any meaningful edits or discussions from getting noticed.

He talks a big game, but he and SunXia have no intention whatsoever of entertaining Bleach fans in general. They've said (she said it in the first post, and he's made his opinion abundantly clear) they refuse to change, and they sure as hell aren't going to punish Xilinoc for his frankly boarish personality towards any user that isn't in his clique. Even SunXia can admit that he is abrasive and rude.

I wouldn't expect change out of them anytime soon, Yaoi. They quite frankly don't care to change, and it doesn't matter who points it out or in what tone. They've shut down forum after forum, discussion after discussion, and talk page after talk page on this subject.

I get that, and I can clearly see it. The behaviour is unsightly, if I must be honest. But that's why we're here, to try and get this place to improve. One would think SunXia posted this with that intention, otherwise, there was no point to opening it up as a thread if there wasn't an intent to allow for discourse — discourse that, quite frankly, Xilinoc doesn't seem to want to participate in outside of comments not even tangentially related to the topic at hand.

It bothers me immensely to see what this thread is turning into, because one of the staff members is allowing his own personal issues to interfere with work that should be of the utmost import. This has turned into precisely what I didn't want to see it become, and my hopes of any meaningful headway into this topic are being dashed with every contribution.
