Welcome to Gaia! ::

No, you were accused of being a b***h for belittling another member's tragedy.

It's sad that your cats died, but your greater volume of dead cats doesn't give you the right to be insensitive.

but xilo wat if u hate your family

I WASN'T BELITTLING HIM! You just made it seem like I had to throw a sob story up there and I wasn't-and still am not-in a good state of mind right now and you're making it worse!

Yea, so far, this family is as bad as my real family. Congratz, you guys. I didn't think it was possible, but you just proved me wrong.

you have the power to end this, this whole blown out of proportion situation can end very abruptly. you'll be able to stay and everything, and within a week no one will care that this even happened.

just ask draken_the_sporkninja i think his gaia name is. he made his whole entire guild against us cause fish said his GF was being kinda bitchy, turned into rage war, him and a few others left, they made a guild, they lived happily.

if you want this to end, jsut ask me how, i'll give a sincere yet possibly blunt answer, it WILL be serious.

Look.

He posted a story about his cat, which he loved.

You were kind of insensitive in your post right after that, and people called you out on it. You're new and Trenn is a mod, so, yeah, people are going to side with Trenn and not you on this.

Does that make you a b***h? Not necessarily! I'm pretty sure everyone in the Cult has done something like that at some point.

I'm pretty sure no one would have cared about it and you could have gone on posting if you apologized, or even just let it go and never mentioned it again, but you made a whole new thread asking us to give you reasons to stay.

Now, I've been gone from the Cult a good while, but back in MY day we would have laughed you right out of the guild. This is really really tame compared to what I was expecting, actually!

What I'm saying is no one cares if you quit. Nobody knows you yet! But! If you stay, and post a little more, and don't insult anyone's cats, people will forget about this and then sunshine and rainbows and happiness and I forgot where I was going with this sentence!

Anyway, yeah. Cats are serious business.

Wow this post was longer than I intended. Apparently I'm making up for not posting in any forums at all for like three months.

Nobody's going to beg you to stay. And, hey, a little apology goes a long way. Shows you're (wo)man enough to admit you were wrong (or at least fake it).

Also, consider this: Trenn could have banned you at any time for insulting his cat. People have been banned for lesser things.

But, if you still want to quit, I'm certainly not going to stop you.

It wasn't that you were belittling someone else, it was that you thought you had to do what Trenn did. I'm assuming it was in response to Kegan's post, which was merely an opinion. The death of a pet is always heartrending, but Trenn thought that the death of Puffy was a way to help him see something more n his life. Reviewing the actual page, I applaud your current status and the status of everyone else, but the only reason that came out as bitchy was because you felt that you also had to put something about your cats passing away due to someone else feeling that it was the best post they've seen in a while.

The Cult's a great place once you get to know people, and hopefully this whole thing will blow over so that we can all make this place a little less dead.
