i’m disappointed in you guys. really i am.
isola mods, what happened to you guys? why are you going behind people’s backs to talk shit about them? why aren’t you apologizing for getting caught changing something without informing the masterlist? i remember when i saw some of you trash-talking one of my longtime friends on your locked accounts on twitter. when i post this, i wonder if you’ll do that about me, too.
my friend had some very valid complaints to make about how things have been handled in this group, and the collective dismissal was very telling. it told me that this environment would not be getting any better. and it’s why i haven’t tried to rejoin. between that and some smaller incidents, i’ve realized that this group simply isn’t going to help me stay mentally or emotionally healthy.
i remember having a muse complain about the changes made to one of the areas and i expressed my dissatisfaction in the tags, and a mod took exception to me and a friend being vocally unhappy about the changes. sure, maybe it stings to know your work isn’t being appreciated (and god, do i know this!), but people have different opinions on how things are handled, and not everyone likes change.
i wish i could say i’m having second thoughts about posting something like this, but i’m not. i was around when citta went down, and i was excited to join a new setting, but now i’ve realized that some of the problems have followed from there to here and they’re still unaddressed. maybe they’ll stay unaddressed until isola eventually dies or ends up imploding, but i hope that neither scenario comes to pass.
some of you need to learn to accept criticism. you need to learn how to apologize and do better, instead of burying your heads in the sand and listening only to the people patting you on the back and telling you that anyone with even a slightly harsh word is just ‘a troll’ or ‘a hater’ or ‘wants to see the group fail’.
i am being as nice as i can about this. i’m sad to say that i won’t ever come back here again, because there are quite a few good people i’ve met. i can only hope i’ll see them again somewhere else. but this isn’t it -- not for me, not in good conscience, not after the way some of my friends have been treated here.
if you’re a mod or assistant, don’t contact me please. i’m stressed as it is, and you probably won’t end up talking to ‘me’ as a result.
