Greetings fellow members of Fearless,
I am writing this to you all because of the things I have been seeing on the forums and in game recently. I have seen constant toxicity in almost every part of the forums, people showing zero respect for others, and flame wars around every corner. If we do not do something to fix this, it will be our downfall. I am not going to name any names, seeing as so many are guilty of it, from all sides of the community. I am tired of seeing this community, one which many of us call home, torn apart by petty grudges and rivalries. People have even left the community because of this inhospitable attitude. I have seen enough, and I feel it is time for a change.
I know many of you have someone else in the community that you do not like, hell, even despise with every fiber of your being. I want you to forgive this person. I know it isn't going to be easy, and it never will be, but I want you to tell that person, "I know we have had disagreements in the past, but I want you to know I forgive you.". Let them know that the past is in the past, and we can all move forward together. That is the only way we can save this community. I can understand if there are clan rivalries, or other IC disputes that are able to pour over into OOC, but we have to be stronger than that, and know that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if one clan is stronger than the other, it doesn't matter who beat you in a raid, it only matters how we channel these feelings. We can either succumb to hate, or grow stronger though love for one another. I know it sounds cheesy, but just give it a chance, and it will work. Take an extra five minutes today to make amends with your worst enemy, to show them that we are one, not some fragmented quagmire of spiteful people, but a community of people who care for one another. We have been through so much over the years, it would be pitiful to be undone by such things.
Thank you,
JerryCat
