I mean, I'm not discounting what anyone has to say about Elle, as I said before, all I can judge and comment on is what I have seen or experienced. After reading through Zallah's post, I can see that if that were the case then that is awful too. But I wasn't involved and I don't know all that happened. I think my point still stands though. And if I had known this of someone who I had known for over a decade, I wouldn't have come and participated on a server with them and spent time roleplaying with them either. That's not to say people can't change or be regretful of things they've done. This may be presumptuous, but it feels like the tide kinda turned for Elle when people stopped getting their own way. Until then, people were happy to go along with him and forgot what he may or may not have done in the past. And now they are doing something similar. Two wrongs don't make a right.

So, thought I'd wade in here with my own thoughts. I feel as though lately, there's a small number of people that seem to hold a real issue with Elle. I'm not discounting any reasons behind this because I likely don't know all the facts or the reasons, but I am a little confused as to why this is happening now. Elle has been a Keeper since I joined the server a few months ago, and although he's now in the Head Keeper role, there are still at least two other admins that make decisions regarding the server. I think it's really unfair and borderline bullying in the way he is being treated now, over this, a private server for roleplay that means nothing outside of this internet sphere. I know people are going to jump in and comment that maybe he hasn't been nice to others in the past, so this isn't me jumping to the defense of Elle but commenting on what I see here on the forums and in discord chats including the server chat. It's nasty and it's ugly and it really reflects badly on the people doing it, not Elle. Do I agree with how Shores is run in its entirety? No. Is it 100% what I look for in a server? Again no. But I choose to spend my time here knowing that. And removing Elle as Head Keeper won't magically make it a place that all these people that claim to care so much about it suddenly come and join the server again. And again, there's a small number of people that are going on and on about this. Most of the actual active playerbase just want to RP and not deal with drama over and over again. At the crux of it, if you don't like the staff, the way the server is run or the storylines maybe it's time to consider looking elsewhere for your roleplay and fun.

Troll me up!

Very much pledged.
