Caine's Soapbox

I am getting sick and tired of all of the Class Warfare, Hatred, and other crap going on around here. Instead of doing nothing, I have this as my platform to speak out my personal opinions on the issues of the YCM forums.

 

To start this new forum of free speech, I would like to start with the Hate mongering going on as we speak.

 

I am a proud member of the Fake Type Knights, I support them for many reasons, such as the belief that creativity shouldn't be stifled by limiting types or such things, but more so for the fact that the Knights are effectively going to change the way people on this site think. I have put my full support behind the FTK giving up much of my free time to see it succeed, because it is more than just an attempt to get new and creative types recognized, it is something that has brought quite a few members of the YCM forums together. Right now it is being attacked by people calling it a Spam Breeding Ground, because we are attempting to become a Sticked thread. Our post count is the second highest in the Clubs/Organizations section, and we have gotten there in less than a month, causing many to believe that we are nothing more than spammers, which is hardly the case. Spam accounts for at most 5% of the FTK thread. Many of us tend to be on at the same time, resulting in fast pace conversation, resulting in the rapidly raising post count. The thread may be growing by Leaps and Bounds as I am writing this, but it is not from spam.

 

Now that I have explained that, I would like to go to the people who are calling us spammers. They obviously have a bias opinion of us, either because they have a dislike of Fake Types, or more likely because they fear what the FTK could become. You see the FTK is comprised of people with a strong will to break down the accepted rules of card making. Several of our members have even created new sub-types of cards, which where met with mixed reactions, but that is to be expected. The FTK could be the beginning of something much greater than just trying to get Fake types to be accepted. Eventually there may be another group that breaks up the class Warfare that is going on between the Elitist and the New Comer. Something I believe that many of the Fake Knight's opposition has an issue with. Many of the people who are taking arms against the fake Knights are members with Higher post counts and more well known members of the site, who are obviously basking in the fake light of being on top of the "World".

 

Class Warfare will be my next topic at a later date, for now I hope you enjoyed reading my opinions, and I would enjoy to hear arguments from both sides, so long as we don't resort to insults or flame wars.

The Knights could become a symbol if we succeed or a martyr if we fail, either way it will result in something bigger than any member of the Knights.

 

I have no intention of taking over the site, merely changing the way all members think about things...
