The girl walked outside, into the Town Square bustling with CBers. She took a deep breath, stood up tall, and got ready to start speaking. No Soapbox to stand on anymore, she thought.
"Dear CBers, we have come to a time unlike any the CB has ever seen. There now seems to be a hierarchy of CBers, with a few who are idolized and looked up to, the rest fading into the background. I don't think that the CB should be like this, I think it should be a fun, safe place where everyone can share their ideas and be respected, not just a few people. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, 'all men are created equal'. That is true not just for men, but CBers as well. All CBers are created equal. Someone has now left because of this pecking order. Please think about what I've said."
The girl then left the circle of CBers, and vanished into the sunset.

CBers compliment their friends and those they know well. If you want to be complimented, then make some friends, I guess. I don't think that not mentioning a CBer counts as ignoring a CBer. Ignoring a CBer would be not answering when a CBer asks you something.
There is not a heirarchy here! CBers should be free to compliment whoever they want to! We can get angry that no one is complimenting us, but we can't force each CBer to memorize every single person on here.

I'll be completely honest. I've been a bit blinded by my own selfishness, and should really start thinking straight.
Mainly the reason I believe that people are getting ignored is because I feel ignored. I sorda loved the time when there weren't as many Cbers, and everyone seemed to know each other. But now it seems like no one knows me. This sort of grew into this thing where I forced myself to believe that people were being ignored.
But its really no one's fault that people are being ignored. Some people aren't posting as much, making them less known.
One thing I'm completely positive about, however, is the idolizing. It's annoying the heck out of me. Balloon providing with one example, and I would provide more but I feel like that would be rude, I guess(Also I'm too lazy).
Maybe the only reason I'm annoyed is because I want to be idolized myself? It's an enjoyable feeling to be popular, a very self-centered and selfish feeling that i'm guilty of.
I suppose it must be the new influx of CBers? It used to be easy to know each other, but now it feels like there is just... I dunno.
Sorry, am I making this more dramatic than it needs to be? I'm tired and I feel upset and I really wish CB was like it used to be, which is selfish and stupid and rude. Sorry.

You are right ... I am ashamed to say that I was one of those people. I admit to calling a CBer "The CB legend." I never meant it to hurt anyone in any way. And I hope you can forgive me. It is wrong to think of some CBers as more important.
