Of course, I think what you were trying to say is that the debate at hand was off-topic or unnecessary. While there is certainly a point where disputes can get irrelevent to the main topic, it's best not to try and resolve something that is on course to resolving itself. I made that same mistake long ago. Usually, disputes on this wiki solve themselves. If it gets to the point of [[SW:NPA|Personal attacks]], you should probably alert a mod. I see you have good intentions, but as I have experienced during my years on this wiki, you don't have to be the hero of every discussion.

Little elaboration on disputes
Saying "you both have very good points" without elaborating on what those good points are does not contribute to the discussion. If you are going to try and offer a "third way", elaborate. In that situation, for example, you could have said something like "there is definitely a difference in styles of characters, and some characters are objectively better than others, but player skill usually determines the victory of a match".
Of course, I think what you were trying to say is that the debate at hand was off-topic or unnecessary. While there is certainly a point where disputes can get irrelevent to the main topic, it's best not to try and resolve something that is on course to resolving itself. I made that same mistake long ago. Usually, disputes on this wiki solve themselves. If it gets to the point of Personal attacks, you should probably alert a mod. I see you have good intentions, but as I have experienced during my years on this wiki, you don't have to be the hero of every discussion. Mr. Anon
