Where has Council gone?
In the beginning the Council was smaller and had a sense of unity that was the backbone of the "table".Now it seems that the Council has lost the path and some of the members that started it.The posts are more argumentative than helpful,more full of spite than care.Where has the wisdom and grace gone? Why does this happen more and more once something good is uncovered?If I were to go outside right now and trip over a box of jewlels and went to share them with everyone I know there would be those that would distort it into a show of pomposity rather than generosity.Let us try to help each other rather than shit in our cereal.Do you think it worth the time and trouble that it will take for us all to act like the adults that I know we are and let bygones be bygones and just exsit together in a peaceful mob.

I couldn't agree more. It might be hard for "some" Council members.
I have posted my thoughts on this matter. I have proven where I stand on things. I sincerely believe in the idea of a great Council Chambers. I have believed in it since my admin status; I have worked towards it.
Damn. O_o
Uh...Dave, while I appreciate the defense, even if it wasn't intended to be FOR that purpose, I would nonetheless ask you to try your hardest to refrain from this in the future. I'm not saying you don't have a right to be angry given the past and whatnot - I'm not even saying that you are necessarily out of line here - but the rules of the Council do include civility. Please, if you will.
Also, Angel69 - I would ask that if you are going to write a response to this, it be in a civil manner. Please.
This all goes back to my post about forgiveness vs. protection from repeated backstabbings...
Pheonix, if giving people countless and unending "second" chances tickles your fancy, more power to you. However, some of us have a line, and once that line is crossed, it's over. I know you don't agree, but that's the way it is.
I agree that we should all "play nice." That's why I told Dave to refrain from posting like that in the future. That's why I requested that if Angel69 was planning to respond, that it be in a more civil manner than the comment Dave posted.
I only stated that I'm not going to tell Dave he's out of line, given the past history between these two and what she did to him. I saw some of these things take place, and I really, truly, do not blame him for feeling the way that he does AT ALL. However, he MUST be more civil in the future on this Council. If he wishes to write a thirty page rant filled with harsh words and uncivil talk, he should keep it off the Council and put it on his own blog.
When the book attacks you like it was an Evil Dead movie, you tend not to want to read that book ever again, seashell - regardless of whether the words inside change at all. I'm sorry if you don't agree, but sometimes, that's just the way it is.
All this is besides Shark's main point, anyway...the Council needs civility. Dave, no more uncivil comments toward Angel69 of the nature earlier posted, okay? I mean it...
I attacked no one here. That was Neo. And I told him not to do it anymore.
I will not air dirty laundry from the past here on the Council; Deadpool knows how to get ahold of me, if you wish to know the deal, ask him how to contact me and I shall accomodate you.
