These arguments are really stupid. That's the point blank message here. I could leave it at that, but I'm still pissed, so Im gonna go on, and you're gonna read it all.
Let's get this straight, Beloved_Robin posted an article yesterday with his rant about shippings--
Hold it! Stop right there! That's the problem here! Rants! Now, yes, at the current moment I'm being a hypocrit, but this has to end. These rants are the problem. Yes, I understand we all have an opinion and as human beings (pan/homo-sexual, transgender, whatever) we have a right t express it. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Now that's important: The Pursuit of Happiness. We have a right to be happy.
Im not trying to say everyone agree win everyone, but to quote BR loosely: "You have an opinion, but don't be so blatant about it." A.K.A... Don't go out yelling couples are stupid, RPing needs rules, OCs have to be approved by a self-appointed dictator, everyone needs to move to a different club, etc. All that does is start trouble and cause arguments which result in several users leaving.
Now back to the arguments: just because someone gets in a fight with someone is no reason to say theyre an abusive cyber-bully. Especially when they're typing in lower case letters, calmly (although very angrily) expressing their view point, and trying their best to get along with everyone else.
There's also no reason to say that a friend can't defend a friend if theyre not on your side. People need to have people they can talk to, come to for help, stand with to prove a viewpoint, set of ideals or morals.
Listen people, there's no reason for us to treat each other like non-existent waste the dog left in the ballpark because we don't totally agree with one another. Whether we like each other or not, of enemy religions, viewpoints, morals, etc. if we really want to have a nice time on the Internet, if when we come on this site, we're a happy community and the user isn't thinking "Dear God, who's arguing about what when I log on?" etc. then we have two options:
Sit down with people of the opposite view-point and talk to them in a calm, non-hostile manner about their beliefs, why do they believe and act the way they do? This is critical.
If you prefer your one-sidedness or don't want/need to associate with people who differ from you, block them, ignore them, and just don't have anything to do with them.
If you can't do one of the above two: you need to leave. That's just final. If you're not willing to st down with other people and talk calmly, and not willing to completely ignore them, then it's safe to say you're a hypocrit (unless you declare you like fighting) and are a trouble-maker.
Two more things and I'm done:
1) If someone says "I have an OC with that name" don't jump to the conclusion they're claiming the right to that name, nobody else can use it, etc. That's like Beloved_Robin or Robin_Love saying no one can use "Robin" in their profile name cause they thought of it first. Seriously? Instead of assuming the worst, let's all assume we're INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Or in simpler words: let's aim for everyone thinking everyone is being nice before coming to a conclusion they're acting like an ass.
2) I'll be happy to sit down and calmly TALK about different view-points, morals, ideals, etc. with any person. Whether theyre of my religion, POV, or of someone/thing else's. I'm not attacking anyone, definitely no. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone (shocker: there is always someone better than you) and I'm certainly not trying to limit anyone. However, out of common courtesy, let's all not blare out our opinion without good reason. Let's not attack someone and assume theyre wrong and doing something at the first sign of disagreement with you. I've been guilty of this in the past, and no one is perfect, but let's all try to get along.
To the following people I would like to apologize and extend the olive branch of peace: AretmisYJ, InfinityYJ, Bakes2389, -BelovedRobin, SilverWings13, Cyrus, and a few others who's name escape me at the moment. I'm asking us all to calm down, talk to each other, and come to an agreement on how we can improve each others lives. Whether thats staying away from each other, renewing friendships, or merely talking. This is not for me or to say you're all horrible. This is to say we all need to get along for the other person.
Thank you.

Revenge slipped a dagger into his hands. Onlookers watched nervously. Revenge calculated at least three hundred. He couldn't let them get hurt. He couldnt let the girl he loved get hurt.
"Targeting system lock on." he whispered.
The gun was cocked against Holly's head. "Choose who you love more! Who?! Her, or me? This little bitch who abandoned you, or the one who stayed with you? All the way through?"
"Targeting System locked." the computer read.
Revenge raised his hand slowly, as if in slow motion. His arm moved forward. The crowd caught it's breath. The handle left his hand and the point sped the thirty yard gap and...
Power Corrupts.
Power Seduces.
If weaved correctly,
It can make even the greatest among us
Fall.
The story that changes everything,
Starts Now.
