The following text is meant generally. It’s not targeted at anybody so please bear that in mind while reading. Thank you.

Well, it is in the nature of the internet that sooner or later people “meet” that don’t get along. There is no harm in it and it’s not a bad thing. Generally at least. What gets to me is when people start making a fuss about things that are not worth it. You don’t like “Gamesystem X” or “Universe C”? Fine. Run along and come back in when the subject is to your liking. It is impossible to please everybody all the time at any point. OTT has a bootcamp for “Gamesystem X” and you don’t like that? Please come back after the weekend when other topics will be front and centre again. You don’t like people talking on the weekender/XLBS/CoG Radio about “Universe X”? Skip the part in the video, mute the channel or do something different.

But don’t bitch and moan about it. You are not alone in this world and certainly not in this community. There will be times where you will fell happy as a pig again when your favourites are talked about and others will not like that content. BUT THEY WILL NOT BITCH AND MOAN ABOUT IT.

My late grandmother (and my mother) used to say: If you don’t have anything nice to say: say nothing. So if you don’t like what is presented to you: DON’T BITCH AND MOAN!

And here is the kicker: if you have constructive criticism and you can formulate it  in a polite way then you can make your voice heard! Example: when we talk on the voice chat on Wednesdays when Warren is not making his radio show and we get to off topic or stay on something for too long I’m the first to go “mates… please back to topic”.

So, everybody, take a step back from  the keyboards. Get a brew, a drink and maybe a snickers. Take a deep breath and relax. And next time a topic isn’t to your liking try imagining how you would like people to behave on topic you love.

Sidenote: much Kudos to the @team here for the community work they do. Moderating any kind of community is difficult at the best of times and an annoying pain in the rear at the worst. I will now get back to work, peek into discord and hope for the best.

PS: If anybody ever is not happy by the content I create; be it on twitch, here or on discord, you are hereby encouraged to drop me a line, DM me or just contact me in any way. We are all adults here and should be able to talk to one another like adults.
