I am ashamed of some of the people who have posted in these last few pages. Honestly ashamed, as an RPer, as a member of this community, and as a human being. You've taken it too far.
There is a line between radicalism and pushing your viewpoint on other people. This thread, in my opinion, has escalated so quickly to that level with posts that repeat the exact same mantra, over and over again ad nauseum and it has begun to feel less like constructive criticism and a call to action but more like picketing until we get what we want.
Earlier today, I put a thread in "Making Connections" with a silly name that had nothing to do with the topic INTENTIONALLY to see what would happen and if anyone was actually looking. I promised that anyone who posted there would be responded to within 24 hours and RP would happen. The individuals who have been lobbying for "newbie interaction" made no attempt to post in it nor (I would guess) did they look. I received nearly 10 responses from other members of the community though and we've made plans to get together to RP.
My Rep is currently 25ish, not very high. My post count is also not very high. My RP attempt in Town Hall was largely observed but ignored.Â
I FEEL that certain individuals in this thread should be ashamed of themselves.
That is all.
It's a shame that you felt the need to depart the thread altogether. Your insight into matters related to the thread has been quite valuable. I can understand your frustration but it's only been a few hours since you posted the thread in question so maybe it's best to let it sit for a while?
That's what I'm doing with the thread I created in the Making Connections sub-forum recently though I've had a response to that so I'm content!
I'm one of those pushing for more newbie interaction and I responded to your thread as soon as I saw it so I hope that gives you some comfort and tempts you to return to the debate.
