User blog:Narianos/Events concerning the fanon

There's been a lot of drama spewing from the fanon as of recently, a lot of which is concerning the Fanon Canon. A lot of people have been at each others throats, others leaving altogether. If you ask me, I think the hatred's gone on a little too long. Of all the things one could argue about, why go at each other with something as minor as a story arc? I mean, don't get me wrong, this is a huge project, but if you're going to let it get the best of you emotionally and let it stress you out, that's when you need to think to yourself; Why am I getting angry? And more importantly, why am I choosing to let my anger out on the people of the fanon? This is supposed to be a community, one where everyone can get together and discuss ideas. Not some warzone of drama where petty squabbling leads to hatred and blame. We're better than that, and we can prove it. We just have to learn to get along with each other, to forgive our wrongs and forget about them in order to pave the way for something new.

I haven't been here long, just barely under a year, but for the year I've been here, I've seen a new side of Naruto that I've grown to enjoy. But with everyone deciding to go at each others throats, sometimes it gets hard to enjoy that side because the people who help shape it can't stop fighting with each other. This is going to be a hard thing to do, even harder for those who don't want to forgive. But if we want to continue and keep this fanon a respectable community, one where we can discuss our ideas, we need to set aside our differences, no matter how minor or major they may be, and just try to talk things out. Like I said, this will by no means be an easy thing, but if we can take it one little step at a time, we can help rekindle this community into something special. And another thing, if we're going to make this a good community, we have to stop attacking the users of it. Most of you who have unresolved issues with others may think I'm speaking nonsense about this, but if we want to strive, then we have to put aside our differences, like I said.
