New Rule: No Personal Attacks

[Eilonnwy]

I never did acknowledge that bit, did I? When I said I had a feeling who's influence brought about the rule change, I did mean you, Ely... because you were the one that publicly fought for the change to begin with. You and Tiberius have both set me straight on that misconception. My apologies for not acknowledging that before.

I made that statement because I've also been hearing it from other places, that new neutral rep I got for one. Some people also think I influenced Tiberius to change his mind. I had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with it. Tiberius changed his mind all on his own. I was pleasantly surprised when he did, I never expected it, but it happened.

When this was originally put to a vote and I didn't get my way, I was angry yes, I felt frustrated, yes. But I didn't quit, I didn't just leave. I felt like I wanted to but I stuck with it. If people want to up and leave because they don't like a simple rule that is standard on pretty much every internet forum, or throw a tantrum like Saerules, I can't stop them from doing that, despite that I wish they would just give it more time and see what settles when the backlash inevitably dies down. But if they cooled down and tried to approach this rationally, I think they'll find the forum is till the same, in fact it will be much like the forum was in the beginning, I always thought it was better in the beginning, sans the fancy upgrades.
