Reasons I am not a fan of this reign:

• Bullying - When you group gang up on people on IRC, that is toxic and bullying. Try taking group mentality out of it and speak to the person one on one.
• Bloodlining - Yeah, you can tell yourselves that you don't do it but the reality is you do. I would know first hand.
• You talk about doing things that are good for the community but you are doing what is good for your cliques. Not necessarily what is good for our community to grow as a whole.
• Uninspiring - There is nothing really to inspire someone to want to work for you.

All that being said, there are some good leaders out there. Unfortunately they seem worried about being shot in the face for a member having an unpopular opinion because you all bully them into feeling that way.

No one should have to be silenced unless they are being especially rude. Having an unpopular opinion is not rude, its just an opinion. Take it or leave it as you see fit, but the amount of drama you create because you don't want to be told something is ridiculous.

Basically the way you treat people is wrong. It sets a precedence that being a dick is an okay thing, and as human beings, it is not.

Now I am hungry.. So lunch time for me.

Oh and I forgot, just here to answer mails :D

I don't turn my back on anyone anymore. I have too many arrows stuck in my spine from both the ones I love, and the ones I shouldn't have, that I face everyone equally. I look everyone square in the eyes. That way I can see the truth, through the lies. And the lies, that are true to you. Look at us all.... in love one minute, then burning with a vengeance the next. Planning for a future, and then non existent in an instant. I don't want people like that in my life anymore. I'm older and more mature. If I cared about you at some point, chances are, I'll always care about you. If I loved you deeply, and you're no longer with me, I will learn to love the memory. I will learn to love you differently. In different ways, and for different reasons. We are too quick to flip a switch on someone, leaving a part of us in the dark. Wear those arrows. And know that it's the ones that put them there that hurt much more than you. Keep looking them in the eyes, smile wide, and leave the lights on. So the world can see the shooters.
