Wow I really didn't think you guys felt this way. Maybe it's just because I'm a bit over analytical but I've always felt like people thought I over do things or like I always try to out do my projects/actors, like for East Meets West and Chesney. So I guess when I saw the confessions, I was kind of set into that thought. But really thanks guys for the kind words, everyone. I feel a lot better and I really didn't think you guys felt this way. :P

Nutter, thanks for clarifying what you were saying. Honestly, when I saw you continued to call EMW unoriginal and say I ruined the freedom of the confessions blog, it really just seemed like none of what I said in the post meant anything at all. I understand your opinion and I'll respect it.

I never really saw myself as a very, you know, I guess "nicely thought of," person on the wiki so it feels good hearing this. Thanks for backing up EMW and Chesney too, that makes me feel better. Really, I shouldn't care what other people think. If they think it's unoriginal, as long as I'm okay with my project, then it's all good. When I look back on this, I probably got carried away. Lish, I'm sorry, I'll look out for their chits more! And I agree with you about what you said with auditioning, pitching, everything. :)

I think I want to come back. I really didn't want so much to stir to come out of this. But I feel a lot better now that we've cleared the air. I never really wanted to leave but like I said I had this "Heart Made Up On You" feeling without the heart made up part, I literally felt sick to my stomach coming on here because of the thoughts and feelings inside but I still wanted to participate. But I feel much better. I think it's important that we all understand not everyone is going to like everyone's ideas. But A) If it was approved, it's already amazing and B) If the creator likes it, then it's even more amazing.

I really don't want to be that guy who gets the rules changed because he had a hissy fit when things didn't go his way, but I do think the confessions need to tone themselves down because some have been pretty mean. Tatertat and I talked about this earlier. I understand that not every confession can or should be nice because like Nutter said, the blog is for stating your opinion about things good or bad. But I feel like there's a difference between confessing an opinion and just hating. I feel like if you're going to confess something that's negative A) You should back it up with reasoning so it's not just hate and B) You should phrase it nicely.

This is just an idea that came to mind but I'm thinking that maybe we start a new thing on the Wiki Channel Confessions tumblr called "What I Like About You." With this, at the end of every month or maybe every two weeks, users can send in a bunch of positive confessions about anything on the wiki, it can be something they like about a show, an episode, or even a user. Then all of those positive confessions will be posted in one big mass confession. I think it'll be fun and a nice way to make people feel good and uplift the mood around the wiki, especially with some of the negative posts floating around. If your confession is meant for the "What I Like About You" post, they could tag it with "WILAY". Like Tatertat told me, we want this place to be a fun place where everyone feels happy and comfortable.
