All this tension got a touch out of control there for a few minutes. Now we rarely have to come in here, but its time to step in and open the window to let in some fresh air since the dust has settled.
I thought about launching into a long reminder of how people need to compromise, and how changes happen and sometimes it can be hard for all those involved, as well as the fact that this is a discussion thread not a chatroom, that content should be productive, and the internet can be hard when communicating, while at the sametime that those who want to squee about the actor/character is not unusual but neither is those who don't very often, everyone has an opinion, either agree or disagree or agree to disagree and let it go. But then as I thought about it, you knew all this.
No one should feel unwelcome any where on this board or its threads, no matter how long you have been here, no one is going to be kicked unless you throughly violate the rules to the point that you bypass the official warnings and the admin removes you from the site, it was discussed and so I addressed it as a general.
In closing why did I step in after the fact or after the dust started to settle and not before? Not to stir it up again but rather because there are times we try an let you all work it out if possible, if you can't then we step in earlier, otherwise we just serve as a reminder that yes we are watching, yes we are paying attention and well kind of summing up when we believe it is warrented. Okay thats it happy discussing.
