The first thing you should do is to stop making things worse. It's hard to get reconciliation when you keep talking about how other people are responsible for your behavior. We're past the point (or should be) where it matters who is right or wrong -- the decision was made and we all need to get along with each other now.

Right now, I'm guessing your wiki hobby isn't any fun. If I were you, I'd take a little time off the wiki, just to get myself in a better frame of mind. Have fun. Maybe watch some TV or read a book. Can I recommend Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality? I think that one might be helpful to you. No one's going to delete all of your work, it will all be here when you feel like hanging around with us again.

Or you can go off on your own thing, if you'd rather be lonely and correct, rather than helpful and occasionally wrong and part of a community. That choice isn't necessarily wrong, but in my experience it's really easy to lose heart on an empty wiki. We all want other people to appreciate our work.

I respect all of the work you've put into Complete Monster. I know it's been a lot of work, though I don't entirely understand why that's the case. I still think it's an objective trope and people are nuts about it. But I'm also a meteorologist, and I think climate change is objective fact and people are nuts about it too. :( If you want to continue to improve those pages, I think we have a place for you.
