*shakes head* Honestly, the only thing I really have to say (Because I don't REALLY know the whole story and I don't want to say anything wrong) I just wish everyone would stop fighting and just get along. I mean come on. There is just no point in it all. In years, we're all just going to look back on it and think "God I was stupid." So what's the point in all of this fighting...
Anyways, onto the topic of rant/discussion:
Can't we just give benefit of the doubt sometimes? Not every inquisition or non-complement comment is an insult or has rude intentions. Please, relax, DA community. This of course, also applies to other communities, as well as the forum. Please keep this in mind, it's not hard to approach things calmly.
I too saw what happened (I don't know everything about it, just the general info, so i'm not here to point fingers) and thought "This all seems like a misunderstanding." I really think that if people took a moment and reevaluated a situation before they responded, it would relieve a lot of tension and prevent arguments like this from happening. I don't like to see people arguing, we should just work together and be a little bit more understanding. c:
And just like you said: The benefit of the doubt. Sure there will be times when people are maliciously attacked, but assuming that you're going to be attacked all the time leads to a misconception, and that misconception leads to the drama we see.
