(no subject)

Those of you that know nothing about SHRP, (if you don’t know what that stands for then that would be you), please ignore this post. Well, you don’t have to ignore it, I suppose, but it’s geared towards my fellow RP-ers, so… umm… enjoy the mini-rant?

So, yesterday, some stuff went down. One girl got banned, and, like… 25-ish charas ended up being dropped between the people leaving with her, about half of which were charas that I normally play around with.

I, myself, am staying.

This in itself makes me sad though, because there goes some people that I like to rp with.

But that’s not the main issue.

People on both sides have been saying so many negative things.

I won’t say I know everything, but I would like to think that I know a fair amount, because I have talked to people from both sides, and I think I have a fairly good understanding at least.

The person who was indirectly responsible for the person being banned felt horrible, was even thinking of dropping out herself last night. She felt that bad. She did not want this to happen. Yes, there was tension between the two of them before, but she did not want this to happen.

I heard so many insults to her last night, a lot of them coming from people who I’m not sure even know who she is or who she plays. Correct me if I’m wrong.

The person who got banned, she did deserve it. She said so herself. She was the one that broke the rules, and so really, it’s her own fault. The people who left with her, most of them were upset about anonymous negative comments being given to them, and threats to be banned for being OOC. Frankly, I didn’t see any basis for these, only (if anything) the use of incest, and the characters being to blantant about it.

Yes, the talking back to the anon could have been avoided in most places and vented out otherwise. Yes, snarky comments were made by both sides.

And then, there’s the people commenting on their leaving. Frankly, I didn’t see much wrong with the characters. Maybe it’s because I was rping with them too. Yes, I did think that Klarth and Sengoku smexing it up regularily was a little much, and that has been mentioned at least once, but honestly? Do we need more insults?

Perhaps someone would like to correct me on something that I’m saying. If you have any disagreements or arguments, please tell me. I don’t want to seem a victim here, and I may not know the full story of what’s going on. If people want to give me other reasons why the people were ooc or that they don’t think that so and so did such and such or something, tell me.

I want to be neutral on this. I don’t want to be a victim and I don’t want to yell at people on either side.

Really, I just have one thing to say.

This is roleplaying. It’s supposed to be FUN.

It’s not supposed to make people upset. It’s not supposed to anger them or make them cry.

We’re all here for the same purpose, aren’t we? Just to have fun.

So why can’t we all just get along?
