The Drama of FetLife: an addendum

Early this morning an apology was extended to the FetLife community.. This was a significant step in the right direction.. In addition to publicly apologizing to those who may have been banned without warning or at least by way of the TOS, he outlined a plan to ensure the integrity of the group in light of certain events over the last 48-72 hours.. John spells out the responsibility he has to himself and to the community and I respect those words..

It's an opportunity..

Yes, wounds have been inflicted..
Yes, feelings have been hurt..
Yes, trust has been compromised..
Yes, it was a very ugly situation..

But as a community, we have an opportunity to once again bring the community together as it should be: to embrace our differences in a respectable manner that we hope others do back to us in kind.. I just hope that for some of those who are getting a second chance are paying heed to the opportunity.. No, I'm not addressing every person who was banned in the 48 hour holy war, because it's apparent that not everyone was out of line..

No, I'm addressing those incredibly unfortunate few that won't give a damn about any opportunity and will likely continue their incessant brainless diatribe without malice, consideration or respect.. It's sad when one's only plight in life seems to follow a line of obfuscation and destruction.. I only hope they can go piss in someone else's sandbox for awhile or to go crawl back underneath the boulder they came from.. So while we can all hope and pray for the miscreants get it someday -- but they seem to have in their bloodstream clearly prevents them from rational behavior, so I'm not counting on it..
