Give Peace a Chance, It Might Work

Over the past couple of days I've noticed a tendency on Orble.
Alot of people are being really, really nasty to each other.
There have comments in which people have levelled guns at other people and blown at them with the full force of their words. And words do have power. People forget that sometimes, but they really do.
It might be that some people are frustrated over not being paid, or with the quality of other people's writing, or the fact that they pour their heart and soul into a post only to be trumped by a film clip from you-tube (that being said Cibby, it WAS very funny). It could even be that people are drunk, stoned, tired after a long day and decide to vent about it. It might even be that people are being funny but the joke isn't coming across as they would like.
Whatever.
Personally I think you should just move on from it. If you find a post that bad, or someone's comment puerile and offensive just delete it or move on. It takes alot more work to reply to it than it does to simply ignore it.
I also think that there are some amazing people on here, people I have respect for and would like to hang out with in real life. Dusk Devi, Ash, Homer Joyce, Lilly, Luke, Lilla, Joe Blogg and alot of other people as well. I may not always understand, or respect, or be able to empathise with what you write, but you are a great bunch of people.
That is pretty well my piece.
Can't we all just get along?
