User blog comment:Jim Logan/Recent Events on the wiki/@comment-3112181-20120831043324

Jim, I mean this in the nicest way, and am not meaning to "slander: you, but why do you even care if we roleplay? It doesn't concern you one bit, so why would you take the time to write this blog asking us to all stop with the roleplay? How would you like it if we asked you to stop talking about wrestling in chat? It's really the same concept. You stay out of our business, just ignore us and don't pay heed to what we say and do, and we will do the exact same for you. That is really something I think everybody on the wiki needs to learn; to stop obsessing over things that don't even matter to them. Also, what "fights and arguments" have occured? I know I've been inactive for a couple days due to school and travel (I'm currently back in London, preparing to leave for the USA Sunday :P), but I haven't seen any fighting or arguing on any pages or blogs. Could you please, for the sake of the entire wiki as well as my own, show me said fights and arguments, because as of late, any have yet to occur and it is for that reason I believe you are overreacting to the whole situation. I don't know what your bias is against roleplay. Yes, it has been an issue in the past, but as I just said, there's hardly been any problems with it recently, and I don't understand why you are so upset with it.

As for the admins, I completely agree with you in that they are great and un-hypocritical. Have I been upset with a few admins in the past? Yes I have. But so has just about every single user here. I now realise that the admins aren't as bad as people make them out to be. However (and this point has been brought up before somewhere), you said "they are here volunteering their valuable time". Well, yes, they are volunteering. In other words, there's no pay for them, no benefit, so, logically, they don't need to be here if they don't want to. They always complain (yes, I've heard admins complain; I'm not slamming them) about the amount of "drama" that occurs here, and how easily they get "stressed out". Well, nobody is making you stay here! If you're seriously stressed out over events happening on here, then simply ''leave. ''Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what the admins do for us here, but they have no right to complain, because this "job" of their's isn't mandatory.

As for your claim that all country roleplay is absurd, I'll say this again: it doesn't concern you; don't worry about. You may not understand roleplay the way we do, and that's perfectly fine. Honestly, I don't understand wrestling or Assassin's Creed, and think they are inane. But does that give me the right to write a blog asking for all of that to stop? I know you clearly said not to say this in the blog, but I'm saying it anyways: you don't understand, Jim. You've never been a serious roleplay, and therefore do not understand the enjoyment we find in it and therefore cannot judge us. And also, Ottoman Empire wasn't involved in the Caribbean, just England, France, Spain, Dutch, Danish, and Portuguese (not really Caribbean, but Brazil more or less). Just felt the need to say that...

Honestly, I think this blog is, in the long run, quite absurd. Though I respect and understand what you are trying to say, you have many false statements here. For example: "YOU ARE NOT KING/QUEEN OF [whatever], YOU NEVER WILL BE, SO SHUT UP!", "GIVE ME THIS NOW NOW NOW!"... Who exactly has ever said these things? I certainly haven't; and can't fathom who would go to such an extreme. Like I said, there hasn't been any problems in roleplay in many ''months. ''You say there has been, and "the proof is in the metaphorical pudding," but I fail to see this. Just let it go, Jim; you can't get rid of roleplay, and not everything on here goes the way you want (as with everybody else). If you are so against roleplaying, then, I shall say this a third time: ignore it.
