I was having a good day today. I am packed. Am going out tonight. Was looking forward to things. Now I am pissed.

Why? Because a post that I sent to my chapter of WW made someone mad. I have noticed a trend in our little group that people seem to think its ok to enact explosive theatrics. This includes yelling, interrupting and leaving the meeting in a huff. I have never been a member of a group where this kind of thing is tolerated. Especially a group that is supposed to be friends. So I suggested that we try to be nicer to eachother and respect eachother more. I included myself in this statement because I know I haven't been following the rules.

I am sorry if I pissed someone off... but I don't like going to chapter meetings anymore. I hate the fact that any comment could set someone off... I hate knowing that people are going to disrespect eachother to the extent that we have been doing it. it makes me mad. And if things don't change I won't attend them anymore. The last thing I need after a week of being lectured by my advisor... dealing with poorly written code and questioning whether going to grad school was a mistake in the first place is to have to deal with this shit. The truth is no one has it easy. Human beings make life hard for themselves, even the ones who seem to have it all together. And I refuse to keep my mouth shut about it anymore.

This is my hobby. I get enough aggravation from my real life thank you very much.

If you want a shoulder to cry on about real life stuff I am there for you. If you need someone to let you crash for a couple days in an emergency I am there for you. I am willing to drop anything and everything for the people I call friends. But don't expect me to be patient about childish behavior related to game. Start acting like grownups.

Lisa-

Welcome to the real world. When you say shit people don't like, they get mad at you.

And if you've never been a member of something where this shit is tolerated, you've never worked in a corporation, have you?

People are unable to control themselves in general. This is not localized to the camarilla. Yes, I too wish people would be able to control themselves. Too bad most of them have the emotional capacity of a 2 year old.

I'd have to agree with you Jesse. Most grown ups just aren't grown up. I know that Ipersonally only walk out of a conversation when I'm about a split second from doing actual physical violence to someone. Another thing to keep in mind about people, no matter what you say, people are only going ot hear what they want to hear. I've been involved in conversations about one thing, a calm, reasonable discussion...had someone else come in, blow what we were saying all out of proportion and context and then rant and rave for the next 2 hours....and all the time during this we're basically saying, "Well yes, but that wasn't what we were talking about." And have it ignored continuously. One serious downside to our Generation is that alot of these people were coddled and sheltered growing up and just don't know how to control themselves.
