Chatterbox: Down to Earth

CBers for Peace 

I am an Inkwell dweller most of the time. I write, I RP, I deliberately ignore all the wars, all the drama that goes on elsewhere. But I do sometimes click through CaC, DtE, etc., and...well, what I've been seeing on DtE lately has not been good.

Call it a wake-up call, if you will. Call it a slap in the face, call it a bucket of ice water dumped over my head, but whatever you call it, all these CBers leaving at once has made me realize that this is getting serious. The CB is supposed to be a fun place, where people can write, chat, express opinions, play games, and fool around with the crazier parts of themselves in good conscience. If CBers start criticizing each other overmuch, if they lose their tempers and refuse to apologize afterward to anyone whose feelings they may have hurt, the CB starts to lose the spirit of mutual respect that makes it really the CB.

I'm not leaving in protest. THIS IS NOT A "GOODBYE" THREAD. Rather, it's a sort of petition: if you feel that the CB needs to change, or that it has already changed and needs to change back, post a comment below. This is a place for CBers to demonstrate to everyone that they want the drama to stop. Please, no pointing fingers, no posting a comment and then blaming someone in particular for everything that's happened. That just makes the fighting worse, which is the last thing I want this thread to do.

I am a CBer for Peace. Where do you stand?
