I understand that there are some things that really need to be talked out at this point, but I think there’s something else we should focus on as well.
We, as a community, have pitted ourselves against each other based on just a couple of articles. Articles written by people who don’t care about us one bit, except for what political advantage they can get from us.
The rule changes so far have been the most concrete symbol of how easy it to turn us into pawns in a political game: one with no winners and plenty of hurt.
So, while there are things some people have to answer for, we, first and foremost, should not allow politically motivated outsiders to fundamentally change how we operate.
Don’t let them get to you. Don’t let them use us.
