I often get Private Messages from people supporting what I'm saying. There are message disagreeing as well - often well phrased and polite. However, in the past week since posting I've recieved three messages that really made me think. One from someone who backed my bans over the allegedly criminal acts of FSV members. Another from someone who really missed my newbie help scheme - and wanted to know about Druids. And another who supported my ideas, who also posted this:

"I'm telling you in private instead of posting under it, because I'm sick to fucking death of the vitriol that pours my way from the FSV sanatarium whenever I imply that maybe not everyone agrees with their way of wanting to do things."

I never realised why my private message box was so busy until now. It's been like a private forum. People genuinely don't want to post on this forum because there is a subset of assholes that will drown them out and bully them for it. Literally just for supporting me. Not that PaulO is one of them - we're talking about the people that aren't even contributing to the Discussion. Since I won't be posting again for a while I wanted to leave you guys with a constructive thought. Maybe you're 'call everyone a pussy for speaking out' attitude is what's destroying the community because it is literally stopping people wanting to post. It certainly worked on me once I lost the power to fight it.

If there's one thing I'd suggest everyone to do - it's make less noisy, insulting posts and make more well structured thought out ones. If you can't see how you're only hurting yourself - then maybe you never will. Good Luck dudes.
