The first thing on the very first page says we're closed, but obviously Cyanide can say otherwise if that's what she feels like doing. I would like to point out that saying you are empathetic does not make you empathetic and the last 5 or so posts of yours really do not reflective any sort of empathy. In addition to that, she's not the only one you're pissing off by 1) just doing what you're doing 2) how you're handling the entire thing in the OOC. People react differently to different things, you saying "you make it cool" does not make it so for everyone. There isn't some catchall, sure that might work for some people, but for other people there are still emotional reactions. People are also on different stages of processing. I am willing to wager you will continue to focus on the wrong aspects of what other people are saying. This is not an attempt to drag out some perceived drama. I'm going to tell you straight up, you need to listen so much better and wrap your head around the idea that other people think different things than you do and that it's perfectly fine. You're not going to convince anyone of anything, like we're not trying to convince you of anything. We're just asking you to please be respectful. You are making it very hard for me to want to concentrate on this RP, both in the OOC and in the IC. I am so willing to quite talking about this if there stops being parts of it that need discussing. In that same vein, most of what you said has very little to do with the actual problem. Speaking of the IC, I'm still slowly working on my post from here in the land of Corn (Iowa). It's been pretty busy and y'all know I am infrequent regardless of anything else. Hilariously enough the internet in my great grandmother's assisted living home is better than the internet at my house.
