First, you misspelled my nickname; you put GKT instead of GLT. Second, it seems like two excessive violence to me. I may leave if this continues. And THREE ski lodges on the FIRST FOUR!

I apologize for the misspelling. I was going fast to keep posting promptly.

I agree with the Admin. While I can understand your discomfort with these Ski Lodges, they're an incredibly beloved traditional post type on the CB, as common as RPs and Solowrites on the Inkwell. They've always been on the top page of Pudding's Place because people admire them, and I doubt most CBers are willing to abandon them.

Regard the CB as a library. When you don't like a how a book looks, you leave it on the shelf. If you're reading it and it makes you uncomfortable, you put it back on the shelf. Nobody made you take that book off the shelf. The same is for all stories and all CB threads. While you might not like some, nobody's making you interact/read with them. These Ski Lodges are just not your genre.

As for their violence; compared to some things school makes us read, they're quite tame. 

No need to fret, though! There are many other fun things to pay attention to on the CB, and I hope you find something else that interests you! :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Skiiii Lodges. One of my favorite things about cricket! One of the less floofy stories! Being a Stephan King/Horror fan, I have no repulsion to blood or violence what so ever. Ever though they might include killing, the ones I have read are not to graphic. And besides, even though they are murder mysteries...they are still amazing stories written by amazing people.

I personally have no repulsion to blood, and like it slightly. I mean, the first animes I watched were The Promised Neverlan, Cells at Work, and Demon Slayer. None of those are blood-less.

I just don't get why people don't like blood. I mean....It. Keeps. You. Alive. 

Okay, GLT, I've heard you talking about this for a while, and I have to admit that as someone who actually writes one of those ski lodges, as someone who puts their time and energy into one of those stories, and as someone who just in general enjoys them anyway, I sort of struggle with your point of view. However, because I feel ski lodge authors' emotions aren't necessarily being considered here, I'd like to appreciate that and consider your emotions in turn.

Wow. None of that made sense. Sorry. What I'm saying is, I'm going to try and treat others how I want to be treated here, especially in the hopes that you mean no disrespect. I know you are a good person and are not trying to hurt my feelings here, so I do not want to hurt yours. Please, please keep that in mind, and tell me if I am hurting yours, but also try to acknowledge the people who work on these. We are real people, even if you disagree with us, and you are a real person, even if I don't necessarily agree with you. So let's talk, okay? We're all friends here, and sometimes friends… Don't agree. But that doesn't mean anyone wants to hurt anyone else, or force anyone to leave. It just means we need to explain how we feel about it and why. There's many different points of view.

I have been working on my ski lodge for a year. There are currently twenty-one parts, as well as a few mini-parts and one special, out in my ski lodge, as well as a part in progress. It is one of the things that brings me a true amount of joy and pride, especially when I'm struggling in the real world. And my ski lodge, as well as most other ski lodges, are much, much more than violence and death. My ski lodge goes into the world of emotions, and love, and finding who you are. I don't want to speak about themes of others (I can leave any other authors to talk about their ski lodges for themselves, as I feel it'd be rude to talk about theirs on my own), but many ski lodges have included humor and adventure. They're not just murder-invested stories - they're journeys, and mysteries. They're a beloved tradition many generations of Chatterboxers have poured their hearts into. 

It's okay to not like them, either! I also don't particularly like violence or gore, but Admins do work hard to make sure the Chatterbox is protected from that sort of thing, and I feel it rude to disrespect the energy they put into reviewing each comment and making sure it's safe. If you don't like something… Just don't read it. Nobody's forcing you to. I went, like, at least half a year on the Chatterbox without reading any ski lodges. Like, at all. I could've gone more, too, but eventually I did start participating. There's plenty of other things to do if you don't want to be in a ski lodge. If the gore makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to do it. But there's a lot of people who really do like them, and it's a special tradition on the Chatterbox. Getting rid of ski lodges completely would, in my opinion, be disrespectful to those people. You want your voice to be heard, and I get that, but to be heard, you also have to listen.

Okay, thank you for reading through. What do you think about that? I think I've ranted long enough, I want to hear your thoughts again.
