"The problem I have with your arguments is that you ONLY focus on the negative (or what you perceive as negative), for every "Why don't we have our cabal item?" there are empowerments, random snoops/interaction, etc. I'd also argue that having someone call you out over CB isn't hostile, it's pushing you to actually roleplay your character."

You were asking me what I'd do on a topic that is obviously larger and more persistent than me. If it's one guy, its that guy. If it's five people, maybe it's just those five people. When it gets to be a dozen? Twenty? Thirty? Then it's not just me focusing on negative stuff.

I think we pretty much agree on everything else, though Valg being entitled to his party analogy opinion doesn't make it a non-negative, non-damaging post. It's a waste of forum space, all it does is cause conflict, re-posting it causes further conflict. If it's a rally cry that improves Imm staff morale maybe it has some value there but outside of that no it holds no value at all other than polarizing people.
