User blog:JoetheBladeMaster/What Happened?!

Okay, so I've been inactive for the last month or so. Needless, to say, when I came back I was a bit surprised with how out of hand things have gotten witht he whole gay-rights thing, and hwo it split and broke the wiki up. Could someone PLEASE explain to me what happened? I imagine it went something like this:

1: Some people mention that they are against gay-marriage

2: Some idiots cuss at them, call them homophobes, and through them into Mount Doom

3: This angers the anti-gay-marriage types, and the debate elevates into a flame war

4: The few people who still have their heads try to break up the arguement, but get drawn in

5: The situation gets out of hand, and some poeple leave because of it

So, how right or wrong was I? Anyway, that isn't important. Like the others before me, I think I'll be leaving, at least temporarily. And no, it has nothing to do with gay-rights.

The reason I love this wiki and enjoy being a part of it is because of the community. But now, the community is completely falling apart from the inside. I even noticed this happening before I left the first time with the whole "should swearing be allowed" debate. This community has become way too political, controversial, and antagonistic. Everyone is at everyone else's throat. Everyone is taking sides. And worst of all, no one is trying to fix it. I just hope when I come back again, the community is fixed up a bit more. It just isn't enjoyable anymore.
