To those people here who are critical of choices any one of us have made, why don't you get in touch with one of us directly when you have a problem with something we do? It'd be a hell of a lot healthier for the community than simply festering in anger until it explodes like this has. I have only ever received one single PM from someone who took issue with something I wasn't doing, and I took what they said to heart and tried to address their concern.
This isn't high school. If you have a problem with someone, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT. Directly! Give them the chance to understand where you're coming from, what's wrong, and how they can do things differently. We won't all agree 100% of the time, but I guarantee there wouldn't be this ridiculous amount of divisiveness if people would PM each other rather than stew in their anger over something that the other person might not even realize they have done! Or maybe they had a good reason to do it that you are unaware of and can't know unless you talk to them!
I keep saying this, but if you have a problem with something I am doing, TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. Please! Most of you all know very well that I have no problem admitting it when I'm wrong, and I can take criticism when given the opportunity to understand your side of things / your perception.
This thing where people get pissed off about something and then never say anything about it until it blows up like this is ... not working.
You don't have to like me, or any of us, but we try to do our best for the community and if you approach any of us (without the personal attacks) you would see our hearts are in the right places, even when we do something you don't necessarily agree with.
