Thoughts from the woods

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a forest creature.
I need a rich, diverse ecosystem to thrive.
That may be why WP "growing wild" in absence of an administrator felt like home to me.
Here, I have met enormous diversity of people, from all possible backgrounds, each with unique history influenced by a unique combination of places, people, health situation and other countless factors that makes the perspective of each of us so special. I have learned dozens of points of view I couldn't have learned elsewhere.
I was ready to dedicate my time and energy to tending to this diversity, putting my effort into keeping inevitable conflicts on a healthy level.
Now I feel like the owner has come back and he wants a nice lawn on his frontyard. It's his right. There is nothing wrong in wanting a neat, fashionable garden on your own property.
But a tended garden can't be home for jungle creatures.

I hereby withdraw my application to wrongplanet.net moderator team. Now I see why I'm not suitable for the job.

Alex has the absolute right to his opinions and beliefs, I however cannot and don't want to work to uphold them. Persecution and accusation through prejudice without justification for being different, has been my family's heritage and tragedy. It is not okay to call all Republicans white supremacists, just as all Germans aren't fascists and all communists aren't out to conquer the world.

Magz:


I think you are an amazing person, you mean a lot to me.

I hear you, Magz, but can I suggest some time and patience before a final decision os made?

Signed, a fellow forest creature.

What would it take to create a new place with you lovely people in charge?

Roight, that's it. Consider this me also rescinding my offer to be a moderator.

not you too! everyone who is rescinding would have been awesome moderators!

So far, at least 3 people in this thread were selected as mods but all withdrew.

It would be very sad to see you all go and smudge.
