With respect kb,

If you say a lot of things at people, a lot of people will say things at you.

The world of drama that you kite around is the result of the world of drama that you create. I honestly can't see how things get any deeper than that.

Cashew's wall of text about you, your wall of text about you, all those redditors' walls of text about you, they're all just about you and they're all because of you. They don't affect anyone else who doesn't get involved, and I can wipe you and your drama way with a click of a button.

I think we should all stop toiling over you, and you should stop toiling over your role and influence in every community you're a part of. I think people who get mad at you should keep it between you and them, and not involve anyone else in the things you're a part of.

What is this, Facebook? Jesus Christ. You're a cool guy, just chill out, and chill with rest of us.

You're absolutely right. I thought, for some reason, I needed to add something to this. I now see that the best thing is to just wax on, wax off.

Thanks.

Thanks for putting this into words, Pabs. Cashew's post and this one are the first posts I've seen on Hubski in a while, and I've gotta say, it was not exactly a happy return. I'll be on IRC tonight and (homework allowing) back on the site more in the coming months because I know what a great community this can be, but can we please keep all the goddamn muting-ignoring-pissing-contest drama to a minimum?
