Hey guys so I had the unfortunate experience to read this forum, but I felt it may be on the best interest of those like myself, who thought this was an apology about BFA, to come in and comment. I think (I say this tentatively as I do not know everyone here) that everyone is on the same side that we dislike, disdain, and hate the idea of any specific group of people being targeted, slandered, or hurt in any way. It deteriorates the mental health of others, and does not “Fill their bucket” for those like myself who pursue the route of education and get that book reference. Please remember that someone IRL cares about someone here, and we should instead of putting each other down, lift each other up to remember that at the end of the day that we should not divide ourselves on the idea that hate comments are not something we, as those who try to appreciate everyone, abide by because the fact is we all disagree with the idea of hateful comments towards any group and vehemently wish to see it rectified. I do not know all the details, but this also goes into other forms of hatred. Ive seen people on this forum detest, throw hate at each other, the original poster, and even feels a bit on themselves. I will not say the anger is unexpected, unprecedented, but please remember part of our role, I hope some agree, as people is when someone falls we help them on the right path or at least give them some advice, some advice harsher than others, in hopes of becoming a better person as a whole. I never saw what was posted which started this thread or apology, i appreciate the apology nonetheless, and I hope that those who have been hurt by it one day can come to forgive the original poster. This does mean there is ALOT of growth to be had though. To many of us it is common knowledge not to throw hateful or derogatory stuff around. It does nothing but undermines the work different groups have pushed for through the years to create a positive environment and be accepted. I hope everyone in here feels loved by someone and if not know that I am giving you best of wishes in your positive endeavors, cause we all have different lives, different struggles, different strengths, and different weaknesses. As for the comments I was seeing about guilds. I have noticed different guilds get different flack, for whatever reason I am not entirely sure of. Please remember do not judge the many for the actions of a few. Do not label an entire group for what one person has done, instead sit with them, break bread, and discuss. Find ways of mutual improvement for them, for yourself, for the server, and maybe in a way itll lead to a healthy improvement IRL. You can dislike certain people in other guilds, you may dislike how an organizations in game structure is, but if you hate on people because of the guild above their name, how does that make you as a person look? Unless they, as an organization, as a whole, have made a public statement endorsing a viewpoint or opinion that you disagree with, that should be the time to say your disagreement with the whole, but if not please please please. I implore just as we would do irl, we research, ask questions, sate curiousity and strive for better understanding, so we can learn to navigate on our journey that is life. I am so so so so sorry for my rambling. I hope you all have a nice day
