Alright, we've all seen the effects of various confrontations between two of the people looked upon frequently as leaders of the GJO, ReaperFett and Darth Turbogeek.
And quite frankly, I'm sick of watching it continue. I'm not sure what I can do, or even what could be done, but I'm going to spill some thoughts.
At one point I happen to remember that the GJO was run not by any individual, or in fact any formal council, but by those with experiance and concern for the order. All Knights and masters had a voice that carried weight on issues. I liked it that way, things got done more rapidly, and more clearly.
True, with the greatly enlarged council, a similar thing happens... and yet, if you look, those of us not on the council still have our say on issues even now, just because our views are just as valid as anyone others.
Sooo. What's the point of all this?
We need to step back and look at things, see our roots, realise that we're getting caught up with ourselves, with minor issues.
Am I the best to make this point? Likely not. But, non the less, we need to step forward and deal with this issue.
And no, gagging both Fett and DT is not an option.
