I have been thinking about the developments over the last few days. My reactions to what happened in the group chat that led me to write my post about "Hatred" and other peoples reactions to that post and of course my own reactions to these reactions.
There are mainly four persons that stand out as honestly trying to give me an understanding of why they are upset with either "the main character" a.k.a."the culprit" or "the witch" in all this or with me and my post. Two of them in private conversations in-world, one the day before yesterday and one today. Another one has given me a clue in a comment on my blog today and one in a post on her own blog (this is the first and only time I have actually seen any close to specific complaints about the main character in all this.
The rest who have voiced opinions have done so in a manner that is totally useless to try to interpret if I want to understand what they are reacting towards in my post. They just vent unspecific anger at me.
I haven´t come to any conclusions yet, I am sorry to say. This is a very tangled web and I am not even hopeful of untangling it altogether, just to my own satisfaction.
Ok Bock!Going to try to comment your post that shows us all what it is all about. Sooo... we now have a group of haters in Second life? A group formed around a creative radio station hosted by a person who, as far as i know, never have caused any grief to anyone. On the contrary she has brought joy and happiness to a lot of people. The group you are refering to is a pretty big group of friends. It is inviteable, friendly and openminded. Due to some mistreatment or misunderstandings one of the members got support from SOME people in the chat and there is no hatred in that. To categorize and generelize people in the way you did is actually narrow minded and even self righteous and its even worse that you didn´t took the time to stick around to find out what it was all about. And to the other comments to your post: Life is to short for guilt by association (real evil and hatred breeds on that)!
ReplyDeleteTime for the people involved in this (i wont use drama) mess to get together and solve the matter in unity and togetherness. I think You Bock would be a great mediator in such a process. Peace out// Chaplin Early
Thanks for sharing your views on this, Chaplin, I have only one thing to add at this time to what you have said and that is that the group it did happen to flair up in this time, seems to have nothing what so ever to do with the mess itself.
ReplyDeleteAs this discussion now goes on here and as I see by Chaplins post that my post the other day easily could be misunderstood in some parts I would like to stress a one thing.
ReplyDeleteI ask for forgiveness if it seemed that I criticize a big group of people. That is not what I wanted to say.
A few individuals were active in this. And if anyone ever thought that I talked about Iendi for instance I strongly contradict that.
But the difficulty in expressing your thoughts and feelings calmly and in a friendly and respectful way (which not least I have difficulties with) makes me think it is small chances to solve this in a live, real time chat.
Sorry to be off topic but Bock that pic of you above is beautiful. Nice pic!
ReplyDelete-2496 in the group is peaceful, four fights!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best?
Blank row in silence, they will never love each other anyway, and hope it calms down for lack of audience.
Try to mediate indefinitely.
Those of you who know them better may be able to give a response.
I do not want back last summer's situation, it went out over all of us.
Well Kandinsky i think it could be worth a try since the victims of the massacre i Norway was brought up in this debate. And if we boil it down to what it is its not a lot of people involved.
ReplyDeleteTake care//

Firstly (important things should always be dealt with first *joke*), Ziggy dear man, when is it ever off topic to give a compliment? The picture was taken in my sister Millimina´s beautiful garden yesterday. Milli actually has a personal gardener come in with the changing seasons, and not just any gardener but the marvelous Ty Tenk himself. ;)
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I think a mediation could - and should - be considered as Chaplin suggest, and as Chaplin says there are not really that many people involved in the mess. The biggest problem with this, as I see it, is that a mediation needs both parties to accept that there is a need and also that they demonstrate a willingness to participate in the process. I see no signs of either. However I do not think that I would be acceptable as a mediator to both parties concerned, Chaplin.
Thanks for the input all of you, I am still thinking!
Thinking? Ursäkta men det blev väl ett himla rabalder f ö r att en del uppmuntrade mig i grupp chatt med mitt inlägg, var det fel?
ReplyDelete- Sen skulle jag uppskatta om en ursäkt till mig oxå :)
I get your point Bock :)

Well, Blanche, I am sorry but I must disappoint you. Apologizing to you is actually one of the few things I am NOT considering. ;)
