When the Transitional Government was formed, you came in strong, but when the Coalition was restored, all I've been seeing was attacks on Kris, attacks on Glen, maybe an attack on Unibot. Your unwillingness to learn of the greater community by partaking in what they do leads you to not fully realize the extent of your attacks on longtime active TSPers. You're driving other TSPers away since they see the Assembly as a place of toxicity, attacks, and general feelings that don't give fun for them.

That's probably the most important point. You're not letting others have their fun. The Great Council was your chance for reconciliation, you said, but in the process, you're insulting the veil of TSP by attacking some of the people who are most connected to it, and not caring for those who call it their home. It's just not fun, and isn't that the purpose of a game? If it's not, please forward me that email from Max.

I've known Glen-Rhodes and Unibot for nearly all the four years I've been playing NationStates, inside and outside of TSP. I was around when Kris first arrived on the scene in 2013. I know just about everyone here in TSP except for some of the more recent newcomers. The idea that I don't know these people because I don't participate in spam games and RP is basically ridiculous, and this entire post is an ad hominem attack -- though, I grant you, not as bad an attack as the one I received by PM from someone else and reported for flaming. That attack contained insults like "retarded" (yay ableist slurs!), "bloody annoying," and "Shut. Up."

But I guess personal attacks and flaming are okay when they're against people you've decided aren't really part of the community, and when your side is doing it. How hypocritical but how unsurprising.

In any event, I appreciate the constructive, if blunt, conversation Kris and I had earlier in the thread, and I look forward to posting the constitutional draft I've spent days working on -- contrary to the assertion that I contribute nothing to TSP just because I don't participate in spam games -- as soon as the Great Council starts.
