I don't want to transfer, so WHY are you forcing me to?

[Rousseau]

Everyone who does this IS an idiot. There are 103492385298374 (exaggerated number) posts about the world merge, a little bit of caution and attention over something this major should be standard. I'm not in favor of negligence or idiocy being fixed by outside parties, even if they are a big company like SE. The information is not only readily available, it all but beats you over the head anywhere you look, if you take the time to look. I'm sorry that they'll get stuck on a new server 'cuz that sucks for them, but at the same time.... why should someone else have to fix these mistakes when they're not only ---not responsible--- for the mistakes, but they provided tons and tons of info to prevent the mistake from ever occuring?

For one, this invalidates your original argument of why your behavior is acceptable. For another, maybe they should help out because it keeps customers happy? Maybe because there are all sorts of reasons why people make mistakes, and it's not as simple as "lol u dum?"

Also, here is an analogy. Let's say you walk into an English class that I am teaching. Earlier that week, I covered what you had to do for the assignment several times. You submit a paper you wrote when you were sick with the flu, lost your dog, had to work an 80 hour week, and broke your hand while mending the fence. The paper is terrible. I tell you that you are an idiot for making such obvious mistakes, that your excuses are BS, and that not only do you fail this course entirely, but the F will be on your permanent record and you may never retake the class again, effectively barring you from higher education for the rest of your life. Is that fair? Or maybe I should offer you a re-write, or at least let you continue the course and try to raise your grade or to drop it and try again next semester? Or should I not do that, as I previously went over the material, meaning that you should have known better?
