My thoughts on the SCA/LJ blowup
Wow, I go to bed, get up, feed the kids, do some work around the house, deal with a massive headache (that still is around), then get some time on my LJ to see what all has been happening, and find a massive blowout on the SCA lists, and related posts by some of my friends.
Wow, all that happened in less than a day, since I read the original post and some of its replies sometime early last evening. I have no idea what the nasty comment was, as it has been screened off... and I don't want to know considering whatever it was really upset a lot of people.
My suggestion at this point, is what we used to tell people in the Camarilla (one of the few good rules they had), and that is to take 24 hours away from the computer to calm down. Go, do something that you enjoy doing. Relax and let the good energies flowing again. Then, if it is worth dealing with in some non-destructive manner, then deal with it once the 24 hours have passed. You will gain insight, and might find it unworthy of your attention at that point. Or your insight will offer a better way to deal with whatever it was that upset you. Anyway, that's my suggestion.
Me, I need to deal with my headache, and do some more dishes. And if my headache goes away, to finish painting the wall section including the tapes that 'Elle pulled off the wall prematurely.
