Oh people...

I love people...but I hate them.

I really only hate that I can't keep everyone happy. I try and try, but to no avail. Of course, how can one person keep over 100 people happy in a guild of people online. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and with different positions in life. Of course some people are going to take offense to somethings and others not as much.

I preach empathy and respect, though I know it is not always easy to have these qualities all of the time. Especially when talking about something you are passionate about or something that is important to you.

Leadership is a rotten role...I love being a supporter...I'm an okay leader, but an excellent supporter! I'll try my best to please them all.

It saddens me that people easily discount other people's feeling simply because its warcraft. I know people will laugh at me for caring about people that are online. It's easier to turn a blind eye to people online, but it doesn't mean I should. It actually does upset me quite a bit when people scoff and laugh at me for taking this guild so seriously. I really do care for these people, not because they're fun people, and not because I don't have a life outside of it, but simply because they are people. Real people behind a computer screen. Yes, I'm an idiot that would probably get killed for a stranger and I'm sorry if some people think it's stupid...but I don't.

I think I'm just upset with the responses I get when I talk about things that are going on in warcraft. A lot of people think it's as simple as a "Why don't you just kick him out of the guild" or "Why do you care so much, its online." I don't think people understand...I know that the internet is a place where people can explore and have and be themselves more. They have a place to feel free from the ties that bind them in real life. It's somewhere safe for people to be themselves and have fun when sometimes they cant express that in real life. I think it's very important for someone growing up and learning about themselves to have a place where they are surrounded by positive people who support you.

I duno, Im just rambling now...

Time for bed.
Work early.
Sigh.
