Take note, I say this in good faith, as advice. If you choose not to listen, well, I cannot control you or infringe upon your free will. I hope everyone will just calm down and take some time to read this.

I know you are all relatives to each other. Firstly, can you take your convos to skype and stop spamming the wiki? We shouldn't be having private conversations here, especially about non TES things (even if it's off topic, it generally has to have a tangential link)

Secondly, you are just making yourselves look like a bunch of immature trolls. Who's acting like kids? Us? Or You all? Maybe everyone? Why does it seem like you all get very defensive if we do put across legitimate points like IP infringement, a very real issue? While some people are more crude and do not have a good command over their use of English and expression, it does not mean their comments began in bad faith. If you ask a question, you invite answers. Not every answer is what you seek.

Have you never thought of how you handled the situation? How you immediately start a flame war when someone says that there are things other than your personal feelings to be considered? Can you truly claim to be more mature and that you deserve the moral high ground when you all are so abrasive and self righteous in front of an entire community, who hold differing views? How can people still comment in good faith if you just flame them? If you do wish to reply, please take some time to consider whether you are needlessly instilling hate because of petty squabbles, or if you have a point based on purely logic to make.

The point of reading the book before commenting is not important. A hypothetical situation: Lets just say I wrote a high fantasy novel with content so great the writing makes Tolkien look like an unimaginative old man. Also, let's imagine I plagiarized an arbitrary percentage of stuff from your magnum opus which you have published. You would be pretty pissed, right? It still infringes IP rights right? I mean, even if a book is good, it doesn't mean that it can copy stuff. Such is a legitimate concern.

The wiki policy clearly states that advertising is disallowed and so if you wish to advertise the Ahkavin series on this wiki, don't do it at all. Really, just stop, because you are only gaining hate from the community from continuing such actions. If you do continue to make threads about your relative's book, they will be closed and removed.

I don't hold any hate for all of you, seeing that well, sure, you do like your relatives work and want to see it published. But dissing other people just because they have another perspective is just ... Wrong.

Also, to all TES wiki members, you also should consider carefully before posting comments, OK? Don't immediately flame the content of the books and keep it civil and logical when you want to raise a concern. Please keep drama on this wiki down.

If if others act like children, it does not automatically give you the rights to be childish. We should all not commit immature acts like flames wars over a difference in perspective. There is generally a diplomatic resolution, but you all have blown this whole thing out of proportion.
