Umm, Ingfarah, the CSR's and the Event team only "addressed" the problem in response to a posting by a player; they did not initiate this response. I give them full credit that they responded at all, but I do not give them credit for seeing the problem and acting pro-actively.
I read Zhoi's message as a criticism of actions of the Event Team during such things as the various assemblies/gathering/meetings of the Nations. The Event Team members in these cases play a high official in the government and I think that it is Zhoi's contention that by allowing certain actions to take place they were not being neutral, but were condoning and supporting those actions.
It is said, and truly: "Even if you choose not to do something, you have made a choice. Even inaction is an action."
I am interested in finding out about "...many other major issues -the ones that make it so the other group is inflexible." This probably needs to be transferred to another thread, but I have not seen ANY of the competing sides laid out in clear terms. I'm not even sure what all the sides are -- because no one seems to be willing (at least in English) to come out and make their statements.
Tamarea proposed an analogy for two different sides. Are those the correct "two sides"? Are there more than two? What are they?
I do a fair amount of low-intensity roleplay. I'm also of the "side" that turns off the cameras from time to time, but not as often as some people might think.
(IC)I have studied the tenets of the various Nations and the words on the stele's of the two Higher Powers back before the Second Swarming destroyed them, words attributed to the priests of Ma-Duk and Jena. This has led me to being what might be considered a "secular hominist". I do not deny that the Powers exist - that much is self evident - but I do not think that following either creed justifies cruelty or contempt for any homin. I will work for the good of any homin. Credo.(/IC)
