User blog:TheShadowAssassin/A little "something" I'd like to address.

Since comments were disabled before I could post my comment on TwistedAlpha's blog, I'm going to post it here. I'll try to make this short, simple, and sweet.

I'd like to bring a word to view, first. "Scapegoat". Do you know what this means? If not, then here is the definition for you:

"A scapegoat is an individual, group, or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame."

Some of you are familiar with this, others, not. Either way, now all of you know what this means. But, why exactly am I mentioning such a word? Well, because I'm tired of that word coming to mind. At least 3 times a week when I'm on chat, I have to sit and watch as a group of users start talking about a user behind the user's back, talking about how the user is such a troll who deserves an eternity ban, etc. It's just not nice. It's not necessary. And boy does it make the user (a.k.a. the scapegoat) feel absolutely horrible inside when they find out about the fact that a group of users are saying rude things about them. I have decided that I will start keeping a sharp eye out for these things, and I will start kicking/banning for these. I honestly do not care what that user did to you that makes you feel as if they deserve such "unmerited negative treatment". I don't care if they blocked you on another wiki, I don't care if they banned you for eternity on another wiki.

As for those "scapegoats", there's not much advice that I can give you other than to ignore what these users do at least until I can start putting forth some effort in stopping this.

Please, in the comments, speak nicely to one another or don't speak at all. If I find even the slightest hint of negativity that could lead to an argument, I will disable commenting. Thank you for reading my rant thingamajig.
