It depends. If Offtopic is driving people off the site and creating a bad community for some users why wouldn't he? At this point the new users these last few months alone almost outweigh the Offtopic members (though numbers =/= quality). You pretty much have 3 options. 1.) Play nice and let it blow over in the ensuing months like it has before and help these new people coming in. 2.) Petition and get something's changed with possibility rule/COC changed to be more strict. 3.)Petition and still have members be assholes to people to get the consideration of a nuke with most likely rule changes. I'm in no way advocating that we lay down and give up but there are better ways to do it. Do you want to go to the offsite and hang out there?
