I just want to be sure I heard the videos correctly, someone tell me if I got this wrong... was that about half an hour of complaining about many people in Wintreath... followed by an insistence on wanting to be in the region anyway, with several mentions of "meeting halfway", again, the details of which seemed to involve everybody else changing, and even ending with criticism of everyone here?
I admit I sometimes have a hard time ignoring things said about me, there's a personal reason for that that doesn't matter right now, ask me later, but I think I'll just skip responding to/correcting the part about me for a few reasons: 1. I know it's not about me, basically everyone interacted with was targeted here. 2. It's not really the point of any of this. 3. It wouldn't change anything anyway. 4. I'm not in the mood. 5. There's more but it's time to move on.
I'm thinking more about... what exactly was the strategy here? An interest in staying here was mentioned. Almost as a sidenote after all the complaints were out of the way, but I think I remember it in there. And several mentions of the halfway thing, though... maybe a good start to meeting halfway would be... not making half hour videos complaining about half the people in Wintreath? I'm not sure what that could accomplish other than the opposite of convincing everyone that Govindia would be great to have around.
I tried, I really did. I didn't want to take this lightly since I didn't pick an easy time to be in the Underhusen after all, I try to get into serious mode when I think I'm supposed to which means at times like this. I'm not enjoying being a part of this, there might be people I don't like as much as others but I never wanted to be involved in something that is effectively a ban. I was thinking earlier, when I posted on page 1, that maybe I could use my situation, knowing Govindia from his posts, but not being involved in the extensive Discord issues, and not having any several-year-old issues with Govindia from last time, that maybe he could give me some reason to believe he meant what he said. Any reason to Abstain or vote Nay. But that didn't happen. I think all I accomplished was reminding him that I exist, I may not have been mentioned at all in the videos if not for that last post. Perhaps the only other thing I accomplished was easing my own conscious... Govindia wanted to be given a chance. So I thought, okay, why not, I'll try it. And this was the result of giving Govindia a chance. More of the same. No change. No attempt to meet halfway. No admission to having done anything wrong. Nothing encouraging. This was supposed to be "Gov's Defense topic" but it was more like "Gov's Last Attack topic". I believe I can vote Aye now without worrying that I didn't try to get enough information, or that I didn't try to listen to all sides, or that I didn't give Govindia a chance.
