I have always been the peacemaker, the negotiator, always the one cursed to see "in shade of grey" never black and white.
Somehow, stupidly in my current isolation I felt compelled to read and read and read, all the chat logs, all the posts, and look for a magical solution to the current nasty situation. But I can't, of course I can't, who do I think I am?
That's when I realised that I have gone away from fighting for the causes that matter to me and putting my feelings, my passion, fleetingly towards a game that really in my opinion should never have made it to my list of things to care about.
I stand by everything I have said, and what I saw, I never had an agenda, I am an ordinary player who was upset that other, very nice people were and are very upset.
So I am snapping myself out of it. Tasisia, the character who is apparently still "new" after 3 years is being retired, from forum and from game.
All the best to everyone.
Relieved to have made the decision.
Going to sleep.
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

It is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
"A World Split Apart: The split in today's world is perceptible even to a hasty glance. Any of our contemporaries readily identifies two world powers, each of them already capable of entirely destroying the other. However, understanding of the split often is limited to this political conception, to the illusion that danger may be abolished through successful diplomatic negotiations or by achieving a balance of armed forces. The truth is that the split is a much profounder and a more alienating one, that the rifts are more than one can see at first glance. This deep manifold split bears the danger of manifold disaster for all of us, in accordance with the ancient truth that a Kingdom -- in this case, our Earth -- divided against itself cannot stand." From Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Harvard Address Thursday, June 8, 1978
