Wow, and I keep telling myself that this is all going to calm down, but I see things still aren't fully settled yet. -.- I really do agree with all that Sura's been saying, so try and be understanding of things. And Mello, I know you keep saying you're not trying to be rude, and I understand that you're really not, but you keep repeating what you've been posting just seems to stir things up more.
And don't get me wrong, I'm still against the removal of general. But what I've been saying now is that I'm even more against the way the community has been fighting over it. I do not like general being gone, but I do respect the staff, and so it's time that we just try to understand and respect their decisions. If that means waiting this thing out, then that's what we'll have to do. Changing isn't against nature, nature is change- as the quote goes or whatever. The staff have been chosen for a reason; and as a loyal member of this community, which includes the staff as well, we should trust them. I know it's difficult to advertise, and it's hard getting members and all that, but that's how it is for now. The staff will choose when and if they want to bring general back, or it they want to keep it this way. You can still have your opinions, of course! And it's still your right to voice them, but in the end you'll have to present them in a level-headed, civilized manner. And even then, the staff still has the right to choose to act on it, or not. While earlier on I was tired of people saying this, but now I have this mindset as well: If you don't like this change, either wait it out with us, or move on somewhere else. I know it sounds harsh, but when it comes down to it, so is the truth and so is life. We'll just have to deal.
No amount of arguing with the staff, no amount of throwing fits or insulting, pointing fingers or noncooperation with the staff is going to help you prove your point. I'm pretty certain they know the pros and cons already, as people have countlessly shoved them in their faces since general was removed. It's just really ticking me off how people are treating each other. So, as I'm sure a couple of your mothers out there have told you at least once, quite whining and complaining and go do something constructive.
