Alright, this is starting to get really ridiculous!
Recently here in the General AMV forums, there have been rants, ravings, and temper tantrums thrown around so much that it's just driving me batty! I remember there being arguments on what makes good videos and the ethics and responsibilities of the Org members, and for the most part, these seemed like genuine topics of discussion.
Then things went downhill REALLY fast! Some people got upset at other peoples attitudes, or got so passionate over what goes into AMV making, that they make the "Dice Man" sound like a faith healer! That... is NOT good!
I admit that I have gotten a bit miffed in a thread, just as others have, and like most people, I calmed down and came to my senses. But now I see that there are still arguments flying left and right, and I REALLY want a cease fire of some sort to be called! These argument threads have gone from being genuine to pointless faster than a speeding bullet, and not only does that antagonize those that want to sit down and discuss matters reasonably, but it drives the mods crazy because I think they too think the topic is genuine and worth discussing, but are forced to lock it once talks break down!
So now that I've said all that, I want to get to the discussion part of this thread:
1) What EXACTLY are some of the issues that people have with the Org or the Org members that drives them to post rants that flame and ignite fires of rage and foul language?! Why do these hot topics agonize you so much?
2) Why do we care about what happens in the Org or not as far as policies go? The Org is a great place to share a fan based medium, but it is NOT our lives, our careers, or what we do for a living! I bet the people who run the Org have day jobs like everyone else! All the donations run this not-for-profit website, and I'm sure that donations or not, they have to work regular 8-5 jobs to maintain the site still!
So why get all worked up over something that's not what we really need to focus on?
I ask you Morton Condrachy!
