| hi sorry i just wanted to address a few things to everybody on the forum because i felt like they needed to be said and
i really suck at intros sorry
leTS BEGIN:
this forum has a MAJOR problem with drama. like somehow, 60% of the topics on this forum can turn into some civil rights issue. i understand that debating can be very lively and interesting, but could we at least not be so dramatic all the time, or even try debating other things?? i've noticed other forums aren't so consistently dramatic and i feel like this is getting on my nerves a bit. maybe not everyone is bothered by it, but i am.
if you feel like your opinion might offend or hurt someone, please be polite. find a way to phrase it without implying that you think might go against some civil rights matters going on now, or better yet, don't say it!! and if somebody does say something that offends you, please, please, reply in a way that will keep from starting a flame war. kindly correct them, and try to move on. (if somebody corrects you, don't blow up and get mad at them, too!)
debates are excellent and can really help, i'm not denying that!! but i'm asking you guys to stop turning topics about things like getting a simple haircut into mega drama-debate issues.
i apologize if i'm seeming really annoying with this right now, i know that the topics you guys debate are important to you, and i understand that! however, i'd like for this forum to focus on other things, as well because there's a lot more to talk about along with what we already discuss!!
i'd also like to apologize if i seem like i've been behaving very immature lately, i'm really sorry. i don't take a lot of things on the internet seriously and i'm sorry if i've been annoying in that way. plus, i know that in the past i have contributed to some of the forum drama, i'm sorry for that. wOW, i feel like a butthead just saying this because i want you guys to know how i feel, but i also fear that you'll think i'm some emotionally idiot for saying my "feelings".
um okay bye now | |

| Thank you Hop But yeah. I mean, it's not something that we can avoid completely. Every forum/site/whatever eventually will have some type of drama and this is no exception. The problem is that we tend to overreact to every little thing. There's people who tend just to be rude to others (from what I've witness it's for pretty much no reason either) and it starts drama. So yeah, if we all chip in and try to be a little nicer to each other hopefully we'll avoid more drama otl. But yeah, that's my two cents on this. | |

| I know that this is partly due to the whole haircut topic (in fact it's probably a big reason why you made this because you bothered to mention it o3o), I still stand by the fact I never meant to imply anything, and if it hadn't been because of real life things I probably wouldn't have replied at all to that, so I apologize for helping cause the drama and debate.
I'd say I agree with you, but I don't feel as if I really have the right to do so? So... uhh... good thread? 10/10 would read again? I'm... bad... at... this... | |

| @relora yeah, the haircut topic was a big factor in me choosing to make this, but it's not the only reason i've made the topic. there's been a lot more topics with similar situations, it's just that the haircut thing was one of the most recent (excluding madoka's friendship chain thread).
anyways, thanks for the positive responses, guys!! now that i read it again, it does look pretty specific and the "friendship list" topic seemed to be a different scenario than what i specified. that being said, i hoped that when i said "if you feel like your opinion might offend or hurt someone, please be polite." you all took it to mean in all situations. unfortunately, i worded that wrong and i apologize for that.
but yeah, basically please be nice in all situations. | |

| I understand what you mean, it's just some of us want to voice/defend our opinions. And if somebody keeps saying "I'm right, you're wrong" rather than "I think so and so", it gets worse. Actually, people do say "I think", only sometimes we take it to mean the whole right/wrong thing. | |
