Combing through the horrible mess left in the destructive wake of recent trolls, I have noticed the proffessed offence felt by certain members of fanpop by the exclusiveness of this spot, and what I want to say to you all who felt or are feeling this offence, is I do apologise, but I also urge the parts in this conflict to moderation. Because with this level of hostility going on, we'd be soon chucking stones at each other in our private intifada. Now, that is most unpleasant right? So here's what I humbly propose:

1. Immediate and unconditional cease-fire.
2. Understandment of the fact that fanpop is open for everyone to join whatever spot they and their grandmothers so pleases.
3. Simultaneous understandment of the fact that there's a inherent neccess of civility, and sometimes, when it comes to certain things, it is better to be polite instead of going "fiat iustitia pereat mundus".
4. Understandment of the fact that we as the biggerstaffs have made mistakes in handling this problem, but there's no need to recruit a lynching mob.
5. Understanding that despite the fact that this spot is indeed a spot for a circle of friends, we are very happy to introduce civil and friendly people who are willing to give our troubled minds a civil distance.

Finally, I present a small story:

Seneca: "Piso's justice"

In De Ira (On Anger), Book I, Chapter XVIII, Seneca tells of Gnaeus Piso, a Roman governor and lawmaker, when he was angry, ordering the execution of a soldier who had returned from a leave of absence without his comrade, on the ground that if the man did not produce his companion, he had presumably killed the latter. As the condemned man was presenting his neck to the executioner's sword, there suddenly appeared the very comrade who was supposedly murdered. The centurion overseeing the execution halted the proceedings and led the condemned man back to Piso, expecting a reprieve. But Piso mounted the tribunal in a rage, and ordered the three soldiers to be executed. He ordered the death of the man who was to have been executed, because the sentence had already been passed; he also ordered the death of the centurion who was in charge of the original execution, for failing to perform his duty; and finally, he ordered the death of the man who had been supposed to have been murdered, because he had been the cause of death of two innocent men.

In subsequent versions of this legend, this principle became known as “Piso’s justice”, which is when sentences made or carried out of retaliation the intentions are technically correct, but morally wrong, and this could be construed as a negative interpretation of the meaning of Fiat justitia ruat caelum.

However, no form of the phrase fiat justitia appears in De Ira, though Brewer's incorrectly states that it does.[4] The phrase is sometimes attributed to a different Piso, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, possibly a confusion with this case.

So you all know that I dislocated my knee a week ago.

In case you didn't, well... I dislocated mah knee. :P I'll spare you the gory details, but just to let you know it's popped back into place, but I still have a torn ligament.

I got to get high on tear gas and got to ride in the ambulance and stayed in the hospital for 5 hours straight. And then they took X-Rays, gave me a leg splint and crutches, and dismissed me.

And today, I went back to the hospital to see the physio guy, and he said I had to wear the splint for another month. DAMN. DAMN. DAMMIT.

Lately, I've been missing school, because...

Daquan (Left) Austin (Right)
I sat in the graphic novel section of the book store with my nose stuck in a Walking Dead comic. Sleeping bodies surrounded me- Daquan's limp body on the floor to my right and Austin's tense body propped against a book shelf to my left. They could get away with it only because nobody came to this isle. It was like the forgotten isle. It was exactly 9:00pm and it had to be the third time I had dragged them both into the book store since 3 that afternoon. All 3 of us had gone there the day before where I had spontaneously picked up a Walking Dead volume and instantly got addicted.

I could relate...

Since we're all trying to bring this spot back from the dead (necromancy - which actually doesn't work at all so maybe we should use a different metaphor) but anyway I figured a question answer session always works well to spark conversation xD - Oh, and add any you want in the comments :)

1. The basics - what is your name/what do you go by online? How old are you and how old do you think you are?

2. Where do you live? Where would you like to live?

3. What year of school are you in? What do you want to be in the future?

4. What are your talents, strengths, and weaknesses?

5. What are some hobbies...

This is a post containing honesty and opinions. Feel free to read if you'd like.

Another anon and myself have been feeling a bit (or perhaps a lot)frustrated with this spot. Now, we are not fans of this spot anymore, so let us enlighten you as to why we decided to leave this so called family.

I've taken out the other user's input.

1. All caps usage.
It's apparent, and it's everywhere. No one likes loud, yelling people and you all complain about it on the Twilight vs. Harry Potter spot, yet you use it all...

Everyone else is posting articles about themselves so I thought I would go ahead and post mine. Okay? Okay. Anyways...

My real name is...not important. Just call me Fen. I'm a 17 years old and I lead a pretty uneventful life. Music is pretty much the only thing that keeps me going. (and ramen. I'm poor.)
