Alright, look. I may be over stepping a line here, hell I don't know. But, this has to be said. Everyone and I do mean everyone makes mistakes. Hell, I make them every day. The point is, if you make a mistake you apologize. I think this blog post was a big mistake. If you have a problem with a user, OWL or PM them. Don't write an angry blog post about it and call out certain users. That's just rude.

However as I am aiming to be an unbiased source I have a few things to say to the other side as well. The balance of power here is off. Don't deny it, it is. Certain characters may be a tad OP. Not for me to say. It's for the people of DARP to say.

Now in light of this problem, I propose this solution. Everyone apologizes for their actions today. Including myself: I, Carnarvan hereby formally apologize for this comment. Second, we have a wiki-wide meeting where we deal with these issues. In a public forum, where everyone has a say.

Now I'm going to leave you this. We, here at DARP are a team. That's how the world works as well. I've been involved in Scouting since I was 11. I'm now 16. That's five years where I've learned how to be a team. In scouting we believe there is four stages to a team. Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. They are fluid meaning you can go back forth between them. The forming stage is where you first meet your team and you get to know one another. Storming is where teams often fail, it's the election of leaders and figuring things out. The arguing tends to happen the most here. Norming is when you're doing your job as expected and things are normal. Performing is a rare stage to come too. Performing is when you and your team work so well together that you couldn't do better. Take a wild guess as to where we are now.

If you guessed Storming then you were correct! We are arguing with each other and attacking one another. That is not what makes a good team. A good team works these kinds of issues out together. We need to start doing that ladies and gentlemen or we'll never, ever reach performing. And I know we can.

Signing off, Carnarvan
