WOW!
Her blog post for 11/16/04 REALLY defines an important issue in The Community.
And she asks a question that has plagued me, but I was not able to articulate:
LEHSA: "Nobody seems to want to fight for our chatroom. I don't get the feeling anybody cares that our chatroom is becoming the equivalent of a ghetto chatroom."
I wonder why this is, that no one seems to speak up? Where has the Community gone?
Lehsa also goes on to point out what I think may be part of the answer:
LEHSA: "They think, 'I'm special!' "
Somewhere we stopped being a Community, and started looking only to our own interests and wanting to *Shine Up Our Own Sign.*
There seems to be a growing attitude of: "Oooo everybody look at me! I was a bloody beta tester for blah blah blah game. Ain't I all that?"
Pfah!
It is this kind of one-up-manship that kills morale and eventually the Community.
Thanks Lesha for speaking up!
