'Cos, well, I'm kind of a a lot of the time now. I'm not sure why, but I know I choose my words less carefully and am less inclined to give people the benefit. Maybe too much of the happy warrior, been in enough online arguments they've become an end in themselves. Maybe the stuff that went down the last year of wotmania pissed me off more than I'm willing to admit even to myself.

I know if it were as simple as just creating a chat I wouldn't be worried about it. There's a big part of me that wouldn't mind going back to '05; my uncle and four more of my dogs were still alive. That ain't how life works though, and it may be time we all came to terms with the fact that while we may have left the problems unique to wotmania, we brought those of our own making with us to RAFO.

For the record and what it's worth, I agree with both of you to some extent. RAFO allowed the opportunity to shake up the hierarchy a bit; old Admins left or became users, and new Admins took their place, so there was more give and take and a lot more chances to try new things since we were writing a new playbook. On the other hand, like you say, people aren't just going to forget years of personal interaction at wotmania, hence there were a few minor instances of people comparing length (of membership, geez! )
