Well I guess this is weird... my blog meant to decrease drama increased it D:
And it's mostly my fault, I'll admit that.
You see, the blog is in beta mode, still accepting suggestions and stuff. I know the blog's terrible right now, completely not good! But nothing starts out perfect... even I was wary about all that power.
But thanks, most everyone, for your rather rude suggestions. It let me know that all my fellow citizens are very supportive and love to give me kind suggestions and constructive criticism.
And... here's where I came in and didn't do the right thing. I have a rather short temper and I snapped at Willow and Oak. Of course that started a huge argument that everyone jumped onto. And then someone too ashamed to show their face (this is why anonymous annoys me) gave me a well-deserved beating. Brought me to my senses, it really did. I'd like to quote this from her/his comment: ""Deleting or editing someone
else's post is not nice. Getting rid of an author or admin is also
unacceptable," yet you give yourself the power of deleting fellow
admins, and authors >.<" Rawr, I am being a hypocrite. However, there is some parts of that comment that were extremely uncalled for. Like telling me I'm "dull". D: Am I really dull? And the part of the comment was that the blog was... informal and that everyone would like the blog better if it was more formal.
Um...
I really don't have an answer for that. I honestly think that was really stupid.
And now for the part that everyone's been complaining about: I didn't consult with anyone before posting the rules/punishments. Well, here's why!
Analogy time!
When you write an essay or something, you pre-write and all that stuff. Then you do a rough draft. Is part of the process asking someone: "Okay, is this sentence okay? How about this next sentence?" Not usually. And then after your rough draft is finished, then you give it to people to edit and make it better and stuff. Then the result is (hopefully) a wonderful "A" essay!
Understand?
(Back to Anon-dude)
Then Anon-dude (same person?) replied to their comment: "Frost, I apologize for being so
hostile, I just have strong opinions about what's going on right now in
the kingdom, please forgive me."
Noooooo... I don't need to forgive you. Why should I? I should thank you. In fact: "Thank you, Anon-dude, for telling me off so I could stop being a hypocritical jerk."
I'll leave all the comments up so you can read my idiocy and laugh at me and call me stupid or get in on the action or whatever. I don't really care.
So here's the extremely important part:
I'm sorry for being a hypocritical, unclear, annoying, short-tempered jerk.
Please forgive me...
-Frost
P.S. Anon-dude: No you were not making me "uncomfortable". Just making me feel stupid.
P.P.S. Read Jake's "Random Update" below. It's much more light-hearted and happy.
P.P.P.S. I would really appreciate it if you guys said: "I don't agree with so and so, I think you should do this instead" instead of: "I HATE SO AND SO!" It would help sooooooo much more.
You did nothing wrong, and my point of view the drama has stopped.
ReplyDelete*JakeRoil* Sorry I never sign in.
It did just start, and I don't think so many people should have been complaining to the extent that they were :T but, yeah, there were a couple of problems, like you said, it was still in its testing stage, and you corrected all the mistakes that were pointed out. You really didn't do anything "wrong" you, more or less, just made a couple of mistakes, and we all do that ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if I offended you, I have this whole weird thing where once I start speaking my mind, I never seem to stop. You don't need to feel bad, I feel it was I who might have caused the climax of the drama to unfold.
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't you, it was be reacting the wrong way to Oak and Willow's comments.
