...you hit the floor.

That floor... has been missed. By everyone. I'll start this with saying that this is my direct opinion of the blog Bond posted just now.

And now, for my wall of text...

First of all... when the h*ll was there ever any form of threatening committed by anyone? Who was ever harassed? Who was senselessly bullied? Because what I see... is a web of lies and deception. And what does that lead to? Mutual distrust.

That is the real issue. People are not trusted. No one is trusted. Hell, not even I am trusted, and I get that. The problem is... no one else does.

I get that Ck and Kayle feel that they are being bullied. I understand that, honest, I do. And while I will not hide from the fact that I am about as guilty as the next person... the truth is, how can anyone hide from the truth? No, I am not saying step down. I'm saying... rethink what on earth you are doing.

Everything basically went to hell and back when Ck stepped down. Her reasons... are hers. True, they are not ours, but we have all played a part. Why? Because Ck does not trust us. And we don't either.

If I fail to see another war, another great divide happen... then I will be damned. Because, believe me... it's happening. Whether the rest of DARP sees this... I don't care. But I know it's there.

Don't deny it. Don't hide it. Your walls... they are hurting us. Your walls... are burning our bridges. Your walls... are destroying what DARP was meant to be. A community. But are we one anymore? I don't think so.

Now. I understand the controversy behind the Norway/Japan game. I don't distrust the judgements made... but I feel that they are deeply misguided. Misguidance and mistrust... that is how leaders fall. A leader who can't guide and who can't be trusted... how can they be a leader?

I will now quote a number of lines from the RWBY Volume 1 and 2 opening songs, because they are highly relevant to this situation.

I also want to make this remark. As an ex-member of the Admin Team here... I take great pain in knowing that the team I lived to want to be a part of, and respected... is now making a divide greater than the two Couriers in Fallout New Vegas. And "The Divide" is probably a fine way to explain this.

Here come the quotes... "They see you as small and helpless. To see you as just a child." Think about it. Who could this perfectly relate to? Just think about it. Don't say it. I won't say it. Because it speaks miles on its own.

"This will be day when we open up the door." Has that 'door' opened? Seems to me that it is closed. But why? Why?

"I don't wanna hear your absolution. Hope you're ready for a revolution." This is literally me right now. I don't want your absolution. We need a revolution. We need it now.

And I will leave you all with this thought. "Were we born to fight and die? Sacrifice for one huge lie? Are we heroes keeping peace? Or are we weapons, pointing at the enemy... so someone else can claim a victory?"
