Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Ok.Well, I k

Ok.

Well, I know there are a few threads about this, but I wanted to address it too. You know, the AE War that has just begun. St. Owl's thread has helped stem and talk about the issue, but even on that there are people going neck-to-neck. So I wanted to make this to help everyone just... chill.

As I say this, I realize it may ruffle some feathers, so beforehand I want to just apologize. I didn't intend for this to be insulting or mean. I'm really just trying to help.

And, before everyone snaps back at me, breathe.

Breathe in deep.

And count 1...2...3...

And think, what I am writing to say? Will this hurt anyone? Will this help the problem or further it? What is the person who made the first comment thinking? Do you think they really meant to be cruel, insensitive, or jeer at you? And if for some reason they were, try to know why instead of being the same way.

Talk about AEs, not fight about it. If someone can manage three AEs, then why shouldn't they have them? I know this single thread won't solve the problem, just like that one AE won't change the chatterbox, but it's a start.

No. This is not a war. We only think it's a war because we're making it bigger than it needs to be. Like Novelist said, it's only drama. It will only be a war if we make it into one. So please, don't call this a war.

Alright. Not a war, a dispute. An argument. An altercation.

Yes! I have three AEs, and manage them just fine. So does Abi. So do you. So does ballet! Come on, people!
