You have got to be joking me...

You have nothing better to do with you time but drag up the past?

Ok yeah, I agree a lot of s**t has gone wrong, and a lot of people have said or done things they wished they hadn't, but why bring it up again? Do you love drama and chaos that much? Have you nothing better to do with you time?

blends invited me to this guild, and I stay and visit it because I know some of you, but if this is what it's going to turn into I don't want to be a part of it. I am sorry blends...but this is just wrong

Unless all parties involved agree to drop the issue(s), I don't see what's wrong with recording what's happened to the guild.

The only problem I see with this project is that it brings attention to a few hiccups in the guild's history, when from my experience this is one of the most easy going, friendly, and helpful places on gaia and the internet. That's why I stay. Concentrating on the less than great moment of the guild does seem to undermine the fact that this place isn't for the most part and angst palace.

I would normally agree with you; however, recent circumstances have forced me to change my tune.

I don't think bringing up old topics will cause any drama or chaos... That is not my intended purpose, anyway. I want it there so people can see it, and so we can avoid repeating what happened in the past. 'Tis the same reason people study history.

I'm glad you commented, though... I was getting worried that everyone liked my idea, which would've meant something was wrong...

I'm trying to only bring up the topics I feel are major/important and have something we can take away from them. If I took the time to drag up every locked thread, it'd become a pointless display of faults.

I plan to say what we've done to improve after each incident and give dates to show how far apart the messes were. It won't be all bad. 3nodding

Yeah, I don't think there's enough material for it to be all that bad. 3nodding

I understand you intent, but fear that you will only be creating more pain and anger.

Yes we study history so we do not make the same mistakes, but I fear that you are also missing some major info in your choice of threads.

Like I said before..."I agree a lot of s**t has gone wrong, and a lot of people have said or done things they wished they hadn't, but why bring it up again?"

You say so peolpe will not make the same mistakes...I think this is very wrong and is only going to lead to more problems, but what do I know?

I can only think of one more mess that I'd like to mention and link to... Unless I find something else that changed us significantly or has a moral I can see, the list on page one is almost everything.

The only other things I may decide to look up are the threads in PC from when this guild broke off. I'm in no mood to enter that place now, though, so it may just end up being an addendum later. 3nodding

Well I wish you the best of luck with your project, and say my goodbye's to all now. I will not be a part of a guild that refuses to leave the past alone.

The only way something could go wrong is if people take this the wrong way and blow it out of proportion. I'm not worried yet.

Tell me what info I'm missing, and I'll add it.

My reason why: I don't want this place to break up, and I'll do whatever I can to prevent the conflicts that make people leave. I think this will help. If you have a better idea (aside from silencing me), I'd like to hear it.

Mature, intelligent people learn from the past. This guild is full of people who fit this description. Don't worry; 'twill all be fine.

I'm planning to put a "read at your own risk" disclaimer at the beginning of the completed thread along with a request to keep discussion of our guild's history both civilized and inside the thread.

Because of the people involved here, I don't think anything bad will happen. Why are you so worried?

sad I didn't want anyone to leave.
I don't know why you go, but I can't stop you. I am sorry for disturbing you and hope that your next pastures are greener in your eyes.

3nodding Thanks for the good luck. I hope I won't need it, though...

Updated.

Also, this is basically your last chance to comment before I start the creation of the thread. If you have any grievances or notice I'm missing something you want commented on, tell me. I'll research it and put in the official thread eventually. 3nodding
