clearly, it's time for tea.
As I think we're all very much aware by now, there's been a lot of talk surrounding the canon-puncturing policy and how it's interpreted. It's a lot of discussion, because it's a complex issue, and it's becoming quickly evident that there are strongly-held opinions on many sides. I know I've expressed my views and concerns, as have many others, and I honestly think that the opinion exchange that's going on has the potential to be very helpful, in the end. In fact, it's already the case that the mods have agreed to revisit the issue, in light of the concerns expressed.
I think this is especially good, because being a mod is a thankless job a lot of the time, and the fact that they're willing to take even more time here to go back and work on something that they've already worked hard on because the community as a whole has some very real concerns is a sign of the quality of the modding team we've got. So, thanks for that, guys-- thanks to everyone who's a mod, and to everyone who has brought up thoughtful points that will end up helping to improve the game as a whole.
The reason I'm making this post, though, is that I'm noticing things are starting to get much more heated, and much less civil, and so I'd like to make a different suggestion.
Everyone step back, and take a breath. Maybe even have a cup of tea. (You knew that was coming, didn't you?) :) Mind you, I'm not saying to stop discussion -- never that. Just remember that there are a lot of sides to look at, and a lot of valid points being made here, and none of it should get personal.
That's all I had. Thanks, everyone.
