Let's stride back into the golden light of what we are becoming

Posted in Posted by Rudyard Kipling

Most of you know of the trouble that has been brewing lately within our companionship of writers, their pens guided by God's hand and their hearts turned towards His glory. Let me say here and now that we are not a cookie cutter society where you can't be yourself and where we won't ever listen to your opinions. Please know, this is NOT what we are. We've been having trouble because although we are all different, we have forgotten to treat each other with politeness, respect, and kindness. I apologize to each individual for any hurt I might have caused you. As for The Rules, we are in the process of recreating them so they'll ring with more clarity. Until they are posted on the sidebar of either this blog or the new template we're trying to get, please respect the moderators (Jack, Jane, and me) and treat each other with love and discretion. We should not have had this upset in the first place, let's not have more. I don't want anyone giving anyone else guilt or opening old wounds; what's past is past and we need to learn from this and move on with the work we have all been given by God. Jane and Jack are currently, as far as I know, unavaliable, internet acess being the writers' bane, so please come to me with concerns and questions via PMing. Don't say it out loud if you have a problem with anything. Also, Jack would appreciate it if you would not come to her at this time with your concerns, that's why Jane and I have been put in her authority in the meantime. We would like to avoid any opposition about that, if you please. We are all fighters against the low standards for modern writing, let's act it.

Regards,

Pippin Armour/Rudyard Kipling

I never said you WERE a cookie cutter sociaty. Just that if we wern't carful we might end up this way. The ambiguis way the rules were written were causing fights in of themselves. Everybody wanted everyone else to conform to their own interpritation.

I study Law and economics, I know more about the basic structure of real Law vs arbitrary Law than anyone.

Plus what are all the unwritten rules? You said I disregarded them, but you never said what they were.

Am I allowed back, Or is dekker still more important than me.

This is technobabble signing off.

Also, Pip. I see that from PM's to my sister, and posts on here that you have taken extreme offence at what I said. I am sorry. I never meant to say that you guys already were a cookie cutter sociaty. I am sorry over the whole misunderstanding.

on the other hand. I do know about Law, so if you do allow me back I would lke to assist with the recreation of the rules. I do know a good deal about things, and I would like to be a stand in representitive for the guys. Not a permanate one mind you, but just a stand in one.

I am deeply sorry about this whole mess, and if you give a chance I can prove that I can behave quite well.

I agree.
And I'm sorry for avoiding you, Pip. I just haven't been sure how to handle things. The way you dissed my brother was very hurtful. And your pm didn't help any. However I am willing to forgive you. And I would like to renew my friendship with you. I just ask that you treat my brother with more respect. I also ask that you will let him back onto Chatzy. I think he will abide by the rules.
I'm glad that you are rewriting the rules! It was poorly written rules that caused this mess in the first place.

God Bless You Always!
