I think we need a Whineplay forum catagory here. Of course, it'll only be temorary. Soon enough, all the whiners will either find their place or get tired of whining about their little impertinent and unwarrented soap operas and complaints and drop out of Second Life altogether. For those of you that don't like the whining, take your Ridlin and have a little break from SL (which certainly can't hurt most of us). Come back in a few weeks; you'll find a much more peaceful world. This always happens when a surge of people comes in.

Anywho, in the meantime, we need a "Social Happenings" catagory.

Here comes some opinion:
*giggle* a drama and whineplay forum would be entertaining and heaven knows a big relief, but i cant help but think in the long run useless, the reason being most ppl that start drama dont SEE themselves as starting drama...and those who are whining prolly see themselves as having legitamate complaints.
Part of a dramatic personality is that lethal self-righteousness that allows them to operate without an ounce of shame.

Best example i can think of of this in action is commentary of the "dont take this personally, BUT" persuasion (valid comment or not, you say that to someone, and thier claws will come out in 99% of circumstances), or the levying of a personal attack, only for attacker to say "well, i didnt mean any of it personally" four posts later. These examples are only one flavor of drama among many i understand, but the point stands... *sigh*
Perhaps a forum where dramathreads get dumped after thier creation would be a good solution, but who would moderate it? and how do you decide what qualifies?

I for one would NOT want to be the person whose job it is to decide which post is drama and which isnt. *shiver*
it would be great if we could isolate it, but by its nature it defys that.

All that said, theres got to be a solution that will accomplish the dual purpose of luring in the dramatic and giving the rest of the forum readers a little peace from infantile behaviour.
I just dont know what it is.
Anyone?

Sorry for the rantish tone of this post btw ;) noone take it personally or anything :p :p :p
*giggle*

I think a rating system would work well, but could always be abused too.
