MDU debates, my opinion.

by rastari
Members of the MDU have been getting upset about some of the criticism they have been getting recently, particularly with Dish and the HoL thread in the euk forums which can be found here http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/index.php now i personally think that yes some people could do with calming down a little but Tommy also got a little agressive.
You are bound to get criticism and you shouldn't take it personally and say everybody is against us, you should listen to them and take it on board if they are being too agressive or just flaming instead of debating properly then point this out in a calm and polite manner, just because your opponents are acting immaturely doesn't mean you have too go down to there level rise above it. It took quite a while before anybody got through to you on the subject of the MDU help line about changing the name, that is because you where thinking that they where picking on you when actually they where just questioning.
In these debates and many other one's since i have been here and long before they have been trolls, people flaming, people taking offence at nothing and people unwilling to debate reasonably there will be these sorts of people and behaviour long after i am gone, the only way to deal with this is by reporting it too the forum admin and being reasonable yourself, if not just stay out of there way, taking things personally will not solve anything.

The calming voice of the cabbage 🙂 AHTC
A good article. I don't think that we're just paranoid, though. We seem to have offended the 'wrong people' and now we're taking lots more flak about it than we should be. And perhaps this is just me, but the helpline would have been ten times less controversial if it were not for this flak.
you are getting a little flak but you'll get a lot more in the future see the tup ukrp coalition threads for example, it's about calming down though and that goes to everybody even me as i too have been heated in the past
That's a good point, they got a lot of bad press over that. Don't I feel glad now that I didn't publish that "the Coalition: a demonic threat to democracy" article I was planning? hehe. You do definately have a point, but as our first real dose of negative PR (apart from the 'meh' campaign) it's easy to feel attacked.

Rastari = King of calm 🙂
Completely agreed and voted.
This has got completely out of hand in my opinion and is doing absolutely nothing for anyone. Comments made are being scrutinised far too much on both sides - real political change is never going to happen if we all continue like we have been so far.
Hey! Lets all be friends!
Agreed - shurrup moaning MDU pls 🙂
Point taken Sara, I'm starting to feel like the last prick not letting this drop 🙂
