It feels like middle school in here where everyone stands around loudly whispering about whoever is on the chopping block this week knowing they'll hear...just to be mean. As long as I live I will never understand the desire to act that way.

There can be groupism, sure. But I think that after a year, this is more a matter of chickens coming home to roost. EP's kicked a lot of members here in the figurative face, myself included.

I understand it. This is just chickens coming home to roost ... chickens that he himself let out of the coop.

"Turning the other cheek" in many cases gets you a second black eye.

I think maybe that's part of the difference. I had my own forum issues and left for like 3ish months and even having heard of some guy named EP when I came back I didn't know who he was for a good while. I guess I missed about the first half of his time here.

That being said, I still don't get that attitude. You get it and it's probably healthy for you that you do. I've had far more than my fair share of black eyes tbh.

IMO retribution causes more harm.

It's not a matter of retribution, for me.

Well, there's this special one she promised to show me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I always do. 

I'll bet someday I accidentally become the drama.
