Well, I never...
I have been less online than usual lately, but I come in to check for IM:s and pay the tier. My IM:s have been capped a couple of times, but last time I logged on, I had an IM from Ranma telling me that she wanted to postpone the next RA meeting until the 22nd, could I attend, and did I have any issue for the Agenda? I answered that the 22nd was fine with me, and the only thing I could think of for the Agenda was ---, but that the RA might not be the best forum for it.
Today when I logged on, I had another IM from Ranma, saying that there might not be any more RA meetings, that she was unsure whether she would stand again, and why did I boycott the RA meetings? I have been absent from one (1) meeting so far, and I did not make any riots during the ones I attended.
And now, when I log into the Forums to read the latest posts (I have to admit that I do that too seldom), I found that Ranma wants to close down the CDS. I am sorry, but I really can't take all this seriously. It is a bad joke.
To Ranma:
Earlier you were very eager to become the LRA. You may have your reasons to be disappointed, but seriously you can't solve that problem by suggesting to kill the entire CDS off. The CDS is a wonderful place, it is very old in SL, and it also has a history of conflicts and troublesome, despotic people, some of which tried to run us down. We have survived everything because we love the CDS, and this incident will blow over like the rest.
Disband the CDS because the present LRA is dissatisfied- excuse me, but that is utterly ridiculous. The CDS democratic experiment is far too interesting and rewarding to be easily dismissed. Our sims are very beautiful, and the companionship between us citizens is solid. Rest assured, we will defend the existence of the CDS against any assaults, and since it is an ongoing experiment, we can adjust the laws to fit new situations. But it has to be made in a democratic manner, of course, involving all citizens.
The CDS may have lost its meaning to you personally, Ranma. We have to accept that. But don't make any more of it than that.
