User blog:Corbierr/My Epiphany about the drama (Please click)

Hey guys! So yesterday I had an epiphany about the drama here, and I think that this will help end it. I was going to share this during tomorrow's drama meeting, but instead, I decided to do the direct and easy thing and make a blog. So, here goes-

One of the biggest causes of drama at this wiki?

People making the same choices over and over.

THINK ABOUT IT. People still choose to ignore others, people still choose to make comments that they know might cause problems, people still choose to curse, or get upset, or insult themselves, or pick fights.

...And that's the problem. Rather than move on and learn from mistakes, people keep making them over and over and over and that's why the same old drama happens over and over and over.

No, I am not blaming anybody, because I am at fault too for making the mistake of letting things slide over and over again. But if you think about this, I mean really think about it, it makes perfect sense.

This is why no matter how many blogs we make, no matter how many times we promise to stop these things, no matter how many times we apologize and how many times we try to move on from the problems, the same problems keep occuring.

It's because rather than try and change our actions and reactions, we are trying to change the wiki itself. But truth is, it's not the fact that we have different people or the fact that we are getting too close, it's the fact that we continue making the same mistakes despite knowing how things will turn out. It may be concious, it may not, that doesn't matter. What matters is that this happens too often.

And I am not saying that we cannot make mistakes, that's obviously not true, everyone is going to make mistakes and everyone is going to keep making mistakes, it happens, its life. But we need to try and learn from our mistakes, we need to think ahead and try to stop ourselves from doing the same things once again. That's how we can stop these things from happening.

And no, I'm not saying this is the one single reason for our drama, I know there are other problems like trolls, real life issues, etc, etc.

But if we all try to stop making the same mistakes, if we all just promise to try and change our actions, (Note that I said try; as long as we make an attempt, it's good) then we can say goodbye to a lot of the drama that happens here and say hello to the second Golden Age of this wiki.

Thank you for reading.
