Just a thought...

I probably don't need to go into any detail about how some of the feeling and concerns that a lot of the players seem to be having these days.

I also know that there isn't really a clear way that we can resolve a lot of these issues.

This might be naive of me to try this but honestly, I doubt it can hurt.

So I'm asking everyone to put aside their issues today and start with a clean slate.

And also to make this commitment:

I hereby pledge that as a player I will respect all my fellow players.

I recognize that IC comments do not necessarily mean OOC opinions or beliefs.

If an issue arises between myself and another player, I promise to approach them in a respectful manner and attempt to reach a reasonable resolution.

Above all, I recognize that this is a game and I will endeavor to make this game fun not only for myself but for others as well.

If you agree? Ping in.

Thanks.

ETA: There is an additional corollary to this from swerval_zero that:

"Things like this remind me of that meme that was going around LJ a while back. "Post this in your LJ to say you support gay rights, or clearly you don't support gay rights and kill small animals," or whatever it was. Not responding to this doesn't necessarily mean someone hates all their fellow players, etc."

Oh so true. Thanks Ziho! I couldn't think of a better way to say it.
