Dear Fellow Aetheriosans/Aetherians//Aetherianites... Or better suited to the majority of you all... Trolls,

I feel that I need to address a few things that has been bothering me a great deal in regards to the current state of our world and how we choose to interact with one another.

I would first like to state that.. Conflict is what drives us to seeking perfection and furthering the ideals of our homelands. Magick seeks to remove the corruption of Demonic and stave off the zealots of Anti-magick. Demonic seeks to spread their influence and power, for what they have obtained is, to them, the ultimate power and anything less is weakness that should be removed. Anti-magick seeks to purify the world of unnatural taint that is Magick and Demonic forces. We each have our opinions.. our roles.. But I feel that.. sometimes.. A great many times, actually we allow these conflicts to become too personal. We allow our failures to get the best of us, instead of seeking to LEARN from them. In the heat of the moment, when we feel we died or lost due to some 'unfair' advantage our enemy used over us, we resort to childish namecalling, screaming, tantruming and ultimately rage-sleeping be cause f-ck this bullsh-it.

We have GOT to remember... WE ARE ALL PEOPLE. Stop degrading each other. It's unbecoming and frankly, disappointing. Stop the personal attacks on individuals, even if that individual is doing something or saying something that you feel attacked by. DO NOT perpetuate the cycle. Be the end of the cycle if someone tries to bait you down to their level of pettiness. But honestly, right now I see a lot of you as being petty. My circle, other circles. It's disgusting behavior. ALL of you are better than this.

I've spoken with so many that have the view 'they started this'... I don't CARE who started it. You all need to grow up. If ANY of you bothered to just stop for TEN minutes and talk like ADULTS, I've no doubt that at least MOST of the current issued would be settled. Some might not because some people just prefer to take the easy route and be angry at their enemies simply for existing. Whatever, ya know. You do you. But seriously. Stop the pettiness.

Stop with the namecalling, baiting, trolling and griefing.

OOC NOTE: I love you all, but JESUS CHRIST you all irritate me so much. You all NEED to learn to -NOT- take things OOC. I don't care who took it OOC first. Just stop. We're playing -characters- here. There is absolutely ZERO reason to bitch about someone OOCLY, or start shit OOCLY because if IN-CHARACTER conflict.

Skuf and I have worked hard to TRY and bring some brightness back (Him, more than I, really), and you all continue to get stuck over petty grievances. It's ridiculous.

I fully plan to keep going with these events, but I think afterwards, unless something changes, I'm just not going to come back. You all are toxic as f-ck, and you're only making it worse by perpetuating the issue.

All that said...

I hope you all have a safe, happy Holiday Season. Stay Warm (Or cool, for those in the upside down), and for the love all the Gods... BE NICE to each other. Even if you don't LIKE each other.
