Nupe-a! Bork Bork Bork!
say things like what? that you're a little coward with no idea who you're dealing with? i know why you changed it back without waiting for your beloved apology (lol) but i have only one question:
do you realise that at this moment, with all the ammo you're giving me, destroying you & your pathetic company (in my eyes) would not be cruel, but necessary?
I'd really like to side with Luna in this thing, since she is why there is even a forum to still talk on, but her change in behavior has been a bit caustic even for my own sense of comfort.
It all began with the revelation that this place had some security issues. Even with them becoming fixed, we still learned something that day: Luna doesn't see every flaw here. Of course no one could see every flaw, but it is a little scary to see a user who recently joined pointing out multiple flaws at once.
This scared many of the users, and people who are feeling fear can respond like cornered rats. The fear even caused at least one regular to leave. I am not any better for this, as I mean who wants their computer's safety put at risk? Their identity at risk? Their account at risk? Luna, as the builder of this forum is seen as a leader of sorts. When there's problems, they are addressed to her.
A leader is supposed to be able to hoist the burden of those who follow them's problems, and instead? When people were fearful, she lashed at us, claiming some of us liars, spoiled, all sorts of deflections. Is this what a leader should do?
Dissension spread among us, but we continued on as normal. Luna though? Something happened. Was it her response toward the chaos being directed at her within a place she feels personally responsible? Was it the revelation that she's making no money on this project finally dawning on her? Was it perhaps something related to her clients that's been undisclosed to us? Whatever it was, something about her changed.
Over a single misunderstanding, Luna turned on me. I don't even wish her ill will, but she even in other threads showed that she was not a fan. I found her strange change in behavior rude, especially when she began to imply that I was akin to low tier prey, but I mean what would I gain from starting an arguement over that?
Then came her thread "Any Christians frequent this forum?". I'm not a Christian, I'm far from it, but it became apparent very quickly she was trying to pick fights, with posts like "Just wondering how many people on this forum truely believe in magic". Some might have seen this as a step in her gaining some strength, but personally? I found it petty.
Then? This thread. Come on, starting all that frenzy over American pride? It's a blatant red herring. People have not agreed with her before, but Luna had never responded like that, not in the old forum, and not in this places early stages. For a place where we are supposed to feel comfortable about no moderation, she's now blatantly showing the power she's had that she'd held back until now. Will she do other things? How can we trust she won't? Like how we before lost morale from realizing the place might have security flaws, now we're going to have to worry that if we piss her off she might change our name to an insult. If she can become as emotional as she did toward me over misunderstanding my meaning, what's to say she won't continue to fume over other people's things said, and now change parameters of their account if they stand in her way?
Luna, you probably do need a small break from here. It's changing you. You're better than this.
