A Small Appeal to Reason

So, I've been seeing a lot of drama around KHV to understate massively. I don't hang around the main site that often, you'll usually see me trawling around in the RPA not posting in RPs as much as I really should if you see me at all. I do however talk a bit in the Discord which mainly brought this to my attention.

I wanted to take the time out of my usual hole to just ask people to calm down a bit.

There are serious disagreements going on but I genuinely don't think that they're worth all the insane drama and infighting. Remember, you guys are a community that has been going for several years and it isn't worth letting all of this get in the way of that. Looking at it from an outside perspective, it feels to me as if people need to take a day off to cool off and think about things. Is it really worth all this trouble? Call me naive if you so wish, but I really don't think that it is.

I was on a forum previously and it was soured very much by this sort of infighting and the fractures that were created in the community were not worth the trouble. This time, I want to say something to try to make sure the community doesn't get too splintered because I don't think it needs to.

What's done is done, and people need to stop crying traitor and playing PI as to who did what. It's just harmful and doesn't do anyone any good.

Come on guys, we're all here to talk about video games (and RP) in peace; Let's keep that happening.

EDIT:

I think @Midnight Star put it nicely in this post.

 

lmao

 

too late

 

Come on guys, that's the wrong attitude to have. There's a lot of negativity around and it's just not necessary. People have acted already and there's nothing that can be done about that, but the hope is that people who haven't already done things take a while to think before taking action.

 

That was uncalled for and unnecessarily rude. Please apologise because I've done nothing wrong, just trying to ask people to calm down. On my own initiative I might add.

 

Ignoring the problems and being like "why can't things be good again" isn't exactly helpful. You want things to be good, come up with an actual solution considering the guy who runs the site caused a **** ton of people to leave. Don't blame the victims what the heck man.

 

"Victims"

 

At what point did defending someone from being mistreated become something to ****ing laugh at? Whatever you do you I guess.

 

No, I'm not saying that we need to ignore the problem entirely. I think that if there's a problem, it does need to be solved. But the way to solve it isn't by leaving en masse and saying snide things in private. All that breeds is the aggression and frankly hateful attitudes that have been flying around lately, and it isn't necessary.

I'm not the solution to the problem, and I don't believe that there's a silver bullet that makes every right immediately. But comments like the ones that have been made thus far in the thread have not been conducive to that solution. We need to talk to each other, and to discuss.

And I haven't lay any blame on anyone. All I've done is asked people to take a few minutes to think and calm down before doing anything rash, whether that be leaving or posting things angrily.

C'mon, that's not in the spirit of things either :/

 

See: how everything started. Honestly, the whole affair on both sides was extremely unprofessional and that's how it spiraled out of control from what I can see.

 

Yeah, I agree that's probably what got this all started. But now surely it's time to stop that and bring our issues out in the open and have an honest, calm and reasonable conversation about it all right?

lol, true dat.
