These arguments are really stupid. That's the point blank message here. I could leave it at that, but I'm still pissed, so Im gonna go on, and you're gonna read it all.
Let's get this straight, Beloved_Robin geplaatst an artikel yesterday with his rant about shippings--
Hold it! Stop right there! That's the problem here! Rants! Now, yes, at the current moment I'm being a hypocrit, but this has to end. These rants are the problem. Yes, I understand we all have an opinion and as human beings (pan/homo-sexual, transgender, whatever) we have a right t express it. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Now that's important: The Pursuit of Happiness. We have a right to be happy.
Im not trying to say everyone agree win everyone, but to quote BR loosely: "You have an opinion, but don't be so blatant about it." A.K.A... Don't go out yelling couples are stupid, RPing needs rules, OCs have to be approved door a self-appointed dictator, everyone needs to verplaats to a different club, etc. All that does is start trouble and cause arguments which result in several users leaving.
Now back to the arguments: just because someone gets in a fight with someone is no reason to say theyre an abusive cyber-bully. Especially when they're typing in lower case letters, calmly (although very angrily) expressing their view point, and trying their best to get along with everyone else.
There's also no reason to say that a friend can't defend a friend if theyre not on your side. People need to have people they can talk to, come to for help, stand with to prove a viewpoint, set of ideals of morals.
Listen people, there's no reason for us to treat each other like non-existent waste the dog left in the ballpark because we don't totally agree with one another. Whether we like each other of not, of enemy religions, viewpoints, morals, etc. if we really want to have a nice time on the Internet, if when we come on this site, we're a happy community and the user isn't thinking "Dear God, who's arguing about what when I log on?" etc. then we have two options:
Sit down with people of the opposite view-point and talk to them in a calm, non-hostile manner about their beliefs, why do they believe and act the way they do? This is critical.
If u prefer your one-sidedness of don't want/need to associate with people who differ from you, block them, ignore them, and just don't have anything to do with them.
If u can't do one of the above two: u need to leave. That's just final. If you're not willing to st down with other people and talk calmly, and not willing to completely ignore them, then it's veilig to say you're a hypocrit (unless u declare u like fighting) and are a trouble-maker.
Two meer things and I'm done:
1) If someone says "I have an OC with that name" don't jump to the conclusion they're claiming the right to that name, nobody else can use it, etc. That's like Beloved_Robin of Robin_Love saying no one can use "Robin" in their profiel name cause they thought of it first. Seriously? Instead of assuming the worst, let's all assume we're INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. of in simpler words: let's aim for everyone thinking everyone is being nice before coming to a conclusion they're acting like an ass.
2) I'll be happy to sit down and calmly TALK about different view-points, morals, ideals, etc. with any person. Whether theyre of my religion, POV, of of someone/thing else's. I'm not attacking anyone, definitely no. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone (shocker: there is always someone better than you) and I'm certainly not trying to anyone. However, out of common courtesy, let's all not blare out our opinion without good reason. Let's not attack someone and assume theyre wrong and doing something at the first sign of disagreement with you. I've been guilty of this in the past, and no one is perfect, but let's all try to get along.
To the following people I would like to apologize and extend the olijf-, olijf branch of peace: AretmisYJ, InfinityYJ, Bakes2389, -BelovedRobin, SilverWings13, Cyrus, and a few others who's name escape me at the moment. I'm asking us all to calm down, talk to each other, and come to an agreement on how we can improve each others lives. Whether thats staying away from each other, renewing friendships, of merely talking. This is not for me of to say you're all horrible. This is to say we all need to get along for the other person.
Thank you.
