The "I've been wronged so now I'm gonna cry" threaFollow

Wow, we know where you stand.

Maybe I am wrong but I did not take my post as whining when I wrote it. You are correct, I was complaining.

If there is one lesson I have learned in this game, and on these boards, is that we are a community. As a community we share the good and bad. I believed (and still believe) that these boards are for helping others find there way through the game. This includes warning people of current bad issues we are facing as a community.

I also believe that we have more power here to find some justice when we are wronged than we do in the game. You cannot/should not reciprocate in the game. Believe me in RL I would NOT have let these rude arrogant people take over my camp (territory, cut in line etc.) without defending myself. We have no such recourse in the game and these abusers know it.

The only recourse we have is to let the community know about the abuses. I believe that "what goes around, comes around". Does this mean when I have the opportinity to take over one of their camps I will do it? NO. Wrong is wrong.

So, I am left with the option of letting others know how rude these people are and hoping one day that it will be taken into consideration when party invites pop or when review of an application for a HNM LS is underway.

But you don't care so, Im probably wasting my breath with you. I want to wish you a good day anyway and hope you success and prosperity in life and game. I also want to thank you for providing a second forum post for my whining. /salute.

We all ***** and moan about stuff, and posting here lets us vent our anger and frustration. Its healthy.

Now I know nobody likes a whiner, but its good to know you have someone who can relate to your problems, and these threads are good for venting mutual problems. Who doesn't like hearing someone say "I'm sorry" when something doesn't go right?

So while these 'complaint' threads are somewhat distasteful, they're quite understandable, and I can't in good heart think ill of someone cause they're angry. We all get angry, and the best way to solve the problem is to just let it out.

Lycanthropy, I'm sorry you don't like the sudden burst of complaint threads, and I can understand. But don't be so critical of them. If you thought about a time something really upset you, did you really just bottle up those negative emotions and not say a word? No, like I imagine anyone would, you at least told someone, and telling that someone and talking about it made it less upsetting.

So while you may not like these threads, all I ask is that you try and relate, or at least show that you care. Even if the issue is trivial, because to the person feeling them, they're genuine feelings of frustration, and calling these people juvenile or questioning over why they're getting upset over such a simple thing doesn't help, and only spreads the hate. In a forum like this, I think its very important to read and try to relate to each post before you cast judgement, and also try and respect your fellow posters, even one's you may not like.

I know I've been a jerk to some people, and said things that upset other people. But, I hope at least people are trying to see things from my point of view before they start rating me down. This is a good a time as any to repent for my bad attitude so far. I'd like to appologize to anyone I've upset, and would appreciate, but certainly don't expect forgiveness.

After making this post, I read through it and realized hating people is pathetic. While I'm still keeping people with bad attitudes flagged, I'm going to try and fix what mess I made worse. All I ask is you don't hate me too much for being a fool.
