Intentions about the Site.; I still would like everyone's responses. PM or IM will also work.

I debated with myself over replying, but I suppose I'm going against my better judgment:

I am feeling very frustrated with the not-so-hypothetical changes that you're attempting to impose by "re-vamping" the site. Frustrated in a way that civil words cannot convey accurately.

I liked EoM. Despite the irritating drama--which is the only thing that's really taken away from the enjoyment factor for me, in all honesty--I've stuck through with this site from the day that I joined, all the way until now. So, basically, what you're telling now is:

1) Rather than actually acknowledge that people like the varying races, etc, you've always disagreed with it and despite the fact that people like the openness you're going to restrict it anyway. AKA, you don't give a damn what anyone else thinks because you're admin.

P.S.: It doesn't make sense to restrict magic only to humans.

2) All of my time (personally, me) here has been for nothing because my character doesn't fit in with your new guidelines (actually only Vivien does).

3) That there's no point in continuing to RP here because when you move I'm not coming with you. So why am I RPing with a new character? Why did I bother putting in all of that work? What the bloody fuck is the point?

There are other points I want to make, but the more I type the more I can feel my emotions bubbling over, and I would prefer to just cut this off here before I get myself banned. Not that it'll make that much of a difference, though, since apparently I won't be here in the coming months anyway.

I'd like this to be discussed out in the open, because to be quite honest I'd like to see for myself what other members think of the idea of moving to a new EoM with new rules and guidelines.

I will make my intentions clear and post about them when I am ready for it, not when you want me to do so. That's all I have to say for now, as I see no reason to get into a protracted debate with you right here and now.


Feel free to make your intentions clear when you want, but as members we have the right to speculate on this issue until you do. Right of speech is here for a reason, and I would like to know everyone's opinion on what you've posted so far. There's nothing wrong with that. If you don't want to debate with me, fine. I'm not trying to debate with you.

But I am voicing my opinion, because this isn't a dictatorship. And other people have the right to (or not to) voice their opinions as well. Stop locking my threads.

Just to make it clear why I closed this thread: It is based on assumptions and filled with anger. Neither makes a very good foundation to base a discussion or measured debate on. I already told you by PM that this site will not close today or tomorrow, maybe never, yet you decide to post something that sounds an awful lot like my intention was to bring this whole site crashing down. You know better, so don't tell people I want to "impose" changes to EoM, when you should know that is not my intention. In addition I made it perfectly clear that I do not intend to have a debate on this (for now) in threads, but would rather have people tell me their opinion by PM. You did that as did a few other people. It's a plain and simple request that is easy enough to honor. If you can't be bothered to respect the wishes of other forum members that is your problem, not mine.


I warned that it was an aggressive post - there have been plenty of other aggressive posts on this site that you didn't deign to edit or close, so that's no excuse. My feelings are my feelings. I'm not debating or asking for a discussion; I simply want the opinions of other people.

For that matter, you never said that the site would close "maybe never". You even went so far as to give me a time frame because I asked politely, and therefore it doesn't sound like this site is going to close "maybe never" to me.

I'm not making it sound like you want the site to come crashing down. I'm pointing out that you're making extreme changes that no one has really asked for.

I don't intend to have a debate, either, so stop referring to it as a debate. That's not what I'm looking for. You could refuse to respond to this thread and I've be fine with that. It's other people I want a response from, not you. You've already made your position clear on this.
