Now that We all Are Aware of it. Here's a Final Message.



There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'Oppression!'
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw

Hi (is hiding behind bed)

Hi (is hiding behind bed) What you say does with no dout ring true. It is a tragic thing to see but i fear theat due to the mutitude of diffent people who play the game and come on this site that the issue will never be resolved unless you get rid of the communitee. That way people wont know who they are playing with and can gain attention by um shall we say "flaming them"

The age range of this game is univeral from what i understand. hence we are all told to be reponsible and have respect for each other. But people perhaps not everyone has the same leval of maturaty this an't gonna happen.

Perhaps if we could all ignore the bad side of things and just get on together things would be much better.. after all why should someone hatret ruin others enjoyment of the game??

People to seem to become there charaters some of the time, but that should not matter if they are rude about people then they should be politly asked for a desent reason not "your deer kept spamming me wa wa wa". And things if not reson given then they need to be ignored. and reported to a mod to have the blog deleted so it can't bring any more harm.

I respect all here even if they can be a little odd sometimes. but let and let live. so take care and all the best lets hope things get better. Afterall what's the point in having a wonderful game when people ruin it with there selfishness.

Hi. I am aware of what may

Hi.
I am aware of what may cause the stupidity in this community, and age is a big factor.
Regardless I believe many have 'kept their peace' and ignored those who have made no move in the right direction to be a decent human being. Public humiliation is the worst, and seems to be all the rage nowadays and is comepletely unacceptable.

Is it even possible not to be hurt by a post that mentions YOUR name and flames YOU about everything you've done wrong? Can you walk away from that unscathed?

If you can I applaud you but for most of us here, we can't...
Handling it like adults is the best option.

Unfortunatly like you said, most of us here can't handle it like adults because it hasn't ever been considered in our immature minds. We don't know how to put oursleves in someone's shoes... And our brains can't wrap around 'literature' that doesn't directly target someone, because we've never been asked to reconsider because it is afterall.... a 'rant'.

I can understand ignoring behavior in forest, but ignoring a massive post that targets you takes it a bit too far, and it is impossible to ask it of people to not take offence to it.
I wouldn't ask it of anyone, because I can't do it myself.
But I can ask if of those who are narrowminded enough to WRITE the blog to begin with.
Unfortunatly, due to the responses I got tonight I have a feeling I am infact preaching to a brick wall...

So be it.
Thank you for your comment, and maturity.
I appreciate it.

I'm afraid I'm guilty of the above. Not all of it. Some of it, and I'm certainly not proud of it.
You're right, Mystress.
I'll try and catch you on msn, later. For now, I'll get my coat.

Thank you for your

Thank you for your comment.
Glad to hear you're not proud of it, that is a good thing to say.
Sure, catch me later if you'd like. (:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you want to keep it private, keep it off of the forums where everyone can see it and add their two cents.

Thank you, and amen.

Thank you, and amen.

It's so sad to see you so

It's so sad to see you so angry CM, even thought I know you have every right to be.
It's just not an emotion I think of when I think of you.
Hopefully the spirit of the season will kick in and give us all a niceness boost!

It doesn't happen often Tera,

It doesn't happen often Tera, and when it does I'm usually in the right place with my words.
I'm sorry for being so angry too....

I hope the Holiday Spirit will kick in as well, but so far it's only making people stressed out!
Don't worry... things can only get better.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays. <3

By the way, do you remember when I said I'd probably never go to Canada? Lol I'm going there this weekend. 8D

As has been mentioned before,

As has been mentioned before, I feel guilty of a few of the things mentioned in your rant, and I too now regret it. At the time I thought I was doing the right thing, trying to make my opinion heard for what I thought was the good of the community, but now I see I should have not said anything at all. I only helped further something that should never have happened in the first place. I am truly sorry for that, and while I won't pretend it hasn't happened, I will try to carry on with my life in a new and more positive light.

Thank you so very much for posting this. I will try to follow your example in the future as an upstanding citizen of this community.

Mystress, you have always been a light in the dark and your sense brings us all to our knees in shame.

Thank you once again.

Thank you very much for your

Thank you very much for your heartfelt comment.
After that, I don't think anyone could be mad at you!
If my post has made you have a different outlook on this community for the better, even if it's just one person, I feel my post has been put to good use, and I thank you very much for saying so.
I am honored to be thought of in such a way, even if this post was caked in more anger than happiness.

Know that I am here to defend anyone who is here to do the right thing.
No one ever stands alone when holding the banner high.

Thank you, friend.
P.s: You totally made my day. <3

*hugs to CM*

You have every right to be unhappy. I don't think I've ever really seen you in a foul mood (or if I had it blew over very quickly).

You've inspired me to bring my first ever deer back into the forest to play. It actually felt nice to just run around and play with fawns and a nameless.

<3

Thanks. And I don't take

Thanks.
And I don't take pride in being in a foul mood either.
But sometimes it takes this much to make people understand.

I am honored to have inspired you to bring back a deer that brings you happiness, we need more deer like that around, now more than ever.

Happy Holidays, and thank you once again. <3

I shall admit, I'd done one

I shall admit, I'd done one thing that I am regretting over all. In the end it hurt far too many people and ultimately. Made me, feel like a terrible person. In the end, what I'd posted wasn't meant to be a rant. But I had nothing more than a few simple words and someone leaving me in the dust of confusion and anger. I let my stupidity get the better of me and due to such things. I made wrong choices and people were hurt, including myself.

I am sorry for those that have been hurt, and I apologize for being another Drama Llama on this site. But anymore, that's all that seems to be happening and in the end. I'm likely going to follow the lines like everyone else and just leave the site for the better of everyone else. Everything has been deleted that pertained to the things, but I know the hurt will likely remain. I regret such things and well regret always hurts.

I can't speak for anyone

I can't speak for anyone other than myself here. But I can say not many can ask much more of you other than an apology and you have done so here.
Thank you.
You know you have hurt people, and admit it and are willing to apologize to those you have hurt. The hurt will linger but it will soon be in the past. Thank you once again, and if you are infact leaving I am glad you have left on a kind and good note, instead of leaving without another word.
It speaks volumes.

Happy Holidays

Guess so.
I wish people wouldnt take a blog that mentions no names personally.
As far as I can see this has done more good than harm.
Until someone flipped it upside-down stood on their head and read it backwards, and also avoided the concern at hand- of COURSE this was turned into "It's all about me! They're targeting me!!!".
I was expecting it.
No worries.

No, not really. I'm just really excited about a friend staying over for five days and having a party on Saturday. So, yeah, I'm kind of zany at the moment. XD Most of Rush's songs have a meaning behind them, usually very good ones. Smiling
Ookani's picture

Erm.. Oh dear. I've just

Erm.. Oh dear. I've just realized my faux pas.
I was refering to Celtic Mystress, this time, wondering if the addition of the song was an expression of frustration or anger. I didn't realize, of course, that the last poster was called 'Emma' and I was calling Mystress by her first name to try and subtly emphasize the serious way I was asking her if she was alright.
Sorry, for the mix up. Have a good party on Saturday, though!

My question still stands, Mystress.

Oh, sorry about the mix-up

Oh, sorry about the mix-up guys.
Thank you both, and fellow Rush fan! Alright!
And yes, I am alright. Sorry I didn't catch you on.
And yes, the song seemed to fit pretty well with the situation and it is really-- more of a warning of something I believe is coming. It was added in a frusterated manner. Thank you so much for your concern, it means a lot to me. <3 Smiling

(No subject)

<3 I shall continue to ignore the unrest in the community, though I'd admit I'm guilty. Ignoring it probally is not helping its just I try so hard to not get involved in fighting. Ugh.
