I think you do raise a very valid point. Heck, I have this problem with a friend of mine who is rarely on this wiki, but at times it seems like he designs his own characters specifically to outdo my own... and I won't deny that I have been caught up in the whole "competition" thing myself, and heck, it seems that new Users tend to immediately create gods and titans.

The thing is though, what makes in-fighting even more dangerous, is that perhaps we Users tend to see our characters as extensions of our own selves. For our characters to be put down by some 'upstart' is a heavy blow to the ego.

And perhaps it isn't just characters... perhaps we need to think about how we talk to each other on this wiki as Users...
