This pretty much sums it up, seriously--

"... it seems to be a general trend these days with polarized opinions on many issues (not just CF related). To build, it takes compromise and understanding on all sides, as well as pulling together. Things can be lost/destroyed much faster than they are built."

People just need to chill out. Forgive others, forgive your own missteps. Take a deep breath.

Imms-- why not just acknowledge that Matrik screwed up, give him another chance. Not a lot of harm in that approach.

Players-- play the game for fun; do something constructive for the community, stop blaming everyone else (primarily the Imms) for any short-comings you may have.

Lastly, give up the drama on all the boards as it's just an utter waste of time and energy. Put your energy into making the game fun. It's that easy.
