I think it's about time for this.
I've no idea how the previous disagreements ended; but I think thsi time this might be the right way.
This AE dispute that's gone on for some time needs to cease, I think. Because CB is the best place on the Internet. I can say that honestly, because when people on any other site argue, it just becomes a full-on flame war. But you know what I see on here? I see people making a few mistakes, but immediately making ten times as many apologies, peaces, and happy threads as before. You guys are some of the best people on the Internet.
As for AEs, I completely agree with everything Abigail said in her amazingly eloquent post. AEs need to be fully fleshed out and complex for them to be fun. For you to like them. For everyone else to like them! And 1-3 is the right amount for that to happen. No one wants their AEs to make someone else unhappy! The Evil AE War started out as a good idea. It's so unfortunate it turned into something bad. But... we've gotten over that, haven't we? No one blames Mei for what she said. No one I can see is still mad at... anyone.
I hope Hotairballoon, MapleSyrup, and S.E. will come back. And I'm incredibly relieved Brookeira's not leaving.
You are all such amazing, wonderful, forgiving, creative, helpful people. Never stop being it. We can't let a little argument get in our way.
I, Clouded Leopard, promise to not fight any more. I forgive anyone who said anything wrong, because they had their own reasons.
Please, CB. Let's end this.

This is a good idea, Clouded.
I, Owlgirl, promise to not fight anymore. I forgive anyone who said anything wrong, because the had their own reasons, and honestly I'm terrible at keeping grudges.

I think that the only reason that the 'war' continued was because people kept making threads about it and how bad it was. If people stop doing that, stop making threads that say like, "This needs to stop!" and "I wish there wasn't a war!" then it will just die down. If there are threads that say there is a war, then people will think that there is a war, and there will be a war. SO FOR GOODNESS' SAKE PEOPLE STOP MAKING THREADS ABOUT THE SO-CALLED "WAR" AND THEN IT WILL JUST DIE DOWN NATURALLY! This thread is okay, though.
I, Leafpool, promise not to fight anymore. I forgive anyone who said anything wrong, because they had their own reasons and that is just the way people are. I promise to never leave, no matter what happens, because no matter what happens, I will always love everyone on the CB for who they are, and nothing will ever change that. And I hope that everyone who left will come back soon, and all the AEs too. I love you, CBers. you are my second family, and I will always forgive you, because that is what family does.

I know it! Humans have a tendency to pull things out a little longer than necessary. I wanted to make this thread to say "Okay, we learned, now let's stop talking about it!"

Preach, sisters/pals.

This is a cool idea, but I don't think it will work, no offense. When people make an apology, they want it to be really public, and have its own thread. Besides, what this thread dies? Then everyone else won't even SEE the apologies, and continue to fight.
(July 3, 2016 - 7:20 pm)
Ok, this is the lst time I'm going to post this summer, probably.
Mei-xue.
Why are you trying to stop this thread? Or not stop, just point out what's wrong?
Seriously.
This thread? It's trying to DO something instead of just antagonizing everyone. It's trying to help. I think by saying that it won't work, you're setting it up for failure.
There have been dozens of threads I've hated and been like, "Wow, that'll fail." Do I say anything? Not usually. And if I do, I'll say, "This could be a cool idea, but it might not work this way. Doing this might help."
And I think your reasons aren't great.
"When people make an apology, they want it to be really public" So... they go on a thread that people will go to so that they can read the apologies.
"and have it's own thread" Why do you think so? Maybe just no one has thought of this.
"Besides, what if this thread dies?" That's like asking hey, what if I die in 80 years when I'm over 90? Threads die all the time, and apology threads normally get 14-130 comments then sink to the bottom.
"The everyone won't even SEE the apologies" Reasons aforementioed
Mei, you seem really against the idea of an apology thread. Why?
(July 3, 2016 - 9:14 pm)
Mei, be optimistic. Please.

I, Bluebird, promise not to fight anymore. I will not hold a grudge or judge someone because of something that they typed when they were angry. I promise the try to see both sides of every situation and not lose my temper.

I'm having a hard time not checking. This is probably the last thread I'll post this summer, but I had to say something.
I'll be back in September.
Bye. Thatnks for caring, Leafpool. It means a lot.
(July 4, 2016 - 10:32 am)
SEPTEMBER?!?!?!?! That's such a long wait! Come back sooner!
(July 4, 2016 - 11:33 am)
We will miss you, S.E, 100% of the time. Yes, September is a long ways away. But if you feel that is best, then do so. We want what you feel is best for yourself. But we will miss you, nonetheless.
