User blog comment:Artimas Hunter/Drama (Not the Good Kind)/@comment-1839575-20120614052651

While I agree with Sandwich and have no problem with either Star or Bloody, I do feel that posts like this are just furthering the drama. Don't forget, folks, we all voted for Arti (well I know I did anyway) and she's been thrust suddenly into head adminship. While no one is not supporting her, I do think we could give her a little extra help with things, instead of just sitting back and letting our two wonderful admins and epic rollback deal with things alone. Let's not bring drama from other wikis over here - let's remember that we are a community, not just a gaggle of mindless people run by Arti and her brains. We're all teenagers here (nobody disagree with this or you'll be an illegal beagle) and I think we should have the maturity to deal with our problems ourselves, instead of running to Arti. Like Sandwich says - if someone has a problem with the way things are run on any specific wiki they can just quit. And how can we expect Arti, Bird and Birchy to be the open-minded, unbiased admins that they are if we are bombarding them with complaints and personal problems? If you have a problem with someone, try and sort it out yourself. If you have a problem on another wiki, don't bring it onto this one. While I feel we're a fantastic, strong, tight-knit community, we've had our fair share of problems this year, and I think we're all still feeling a bit fragile from the tremendous drama which culminated in Forest's abrupt departure (I know I am). We can't afford to bring other wikis problems here, can we?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that sooner or later, we all have to grow up. And there won't always be an Arti there to protect us. Maybe now is a good time to start shouldering some of the responsibility that we'll all have to bear eventually, because one day we'll wake up and find that there is no one else to complain to. So even though Arti, Bird and Birchy are the ones which the rights in a technical sense, all of us have power, and I'm sure that all of us can, and will, learn how to tone-down our problems, instead of blowing them more and more out of proportion until they turn into a blog like this. Let's not forget that all of this started because a couple of users on WOFW didn't like one of Blood's rules. When I was eight or nine, I learnt the word compromise. My mother taught it to me, after I'd just thrown the king of all temper tantrums and was hiding behind the sofa. At the time I thought that a compromise sounded like a cheating way of the grown-up getting their own way - but as I've grown older I've learnt that more and more in life we need to compromise. So this message goes out to everyone - those of us who complain, and those of us who are complained about. We can compromise, and help take some of that weight of responsibility off the shoulders of our admins. If we don't then we might not like the result, and I for one would absolutely hate to lose another admin the way we lost Forest.

This is not an attack, this is not an insult... this is merely a mature post from someone who is about to turn fifteen. You guys know how rarely I am mature. Take this seriously.
