Damn, I leave for three weeks and I've got people going OOC on the IGS to tell me I'm worthless and need to biomass irl.

What is going on?

Hon, remember the audience you're playing to, there. If someone doesn't come in and break that fourth wall to try and win a point, you're doing it wrong. Conversely, when they do, you know you've arrived. :D

My recommendation is to treat it like a temporary outbreak of insanity on the wall-breaking pilot's part. There are a lot of boosters out there, and many of them do some pretty severe things to one's mental state.

Well, there is a "Report" button, but you know things are bad when someone like Kathryn Dougans is blowing their top like that.

I'd just ignore it, were I in your shoes. Except for reporting (which I just did, too). Not to say I have a strong opinion about the controversy -- I didn't even read it in great detail, actually. It's just not right to have OOC stuffz in there.

Yeah see, that's what bothers me, I mean, if it was someone who has a history of being a bitter wall breaking troll, then I could understand it, but all of my interactions with Kathryn have been positive, and she's always been really level headed from what I've seen of her. I really have no idea what is going on but it worries me.

Take a read of the post while you can, before it gets removed, and remove all the emotivist aspects (ie. personal attacks) to it. Get the message behind it, or something, and understand what they're trying to say otherwise v0v

Nikita, remember that not everyone will like you -- as is true for every other member of the human race. Sometimes it's for crappy reasons, sometimes for good reasons. And even people who do like you will see your flaws, just as you see them in your friends.

I suggest that, rather than play this out in public, you send a calmly worded and diplomatic message to Kathryn, asking her to help you understand the issues. Work them out in private like adults. No need to keep this in the public eye.

That's probably a good idea.

Damn, that's harsh.    :(

I personally would report it and ignore it.
