Merriam -Webster dictionary defines community as:
Community does not berate or tear each other down.
I would say 99% of the time we do help, support. lift up and lend a helping hand.
It's that 1% of the time when we do go off the rails; we do it royally and I often wonder if we don't hurt some feelings.
Let me say that recently I got sucked into a forum melee and I meant no ill will. With that I apologize for any harm or hurt I might have caused.
There is so much pain, hurt and sadness in the world, especially right now. We don't need to contribute to it, instead we should try to spread love.
We have this wonderful game that affords us an escape into a magical realm from the horrors of the real world.
It must be horrifying to log into your escape and find something terrible has happened.
How awful it must be to find your favorite pet has been deleted or someone has gained unauthorized access to your account(s) and looted them clean.
I feel fortunate that the only thing I have had happen is the two step authentication has been triggered.
I just change all the account passwords and the main account password.
I think from now on we should focus on helping anyway we can WITHOUT judging, condemning, trolling or baiting.
I am happy to help as my sister and I have accumulated tons over year from friends,idocs, and such (4 castles, 1 Keep, 2 18x18s and 1 little Luna House FULL).
From now on the only trolls should be the ones that spawn in UO.
Like the song says "Put A Little Love In Your Heart".

Like the song says "Put A Little Love In Your Heart".
Put A Little Love In Your Heart
(DeShannon/Holiday/Myers - Imperial/EMI Music)
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
All the world (all the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait)
And see, wait and see
Take a good look around
And if you're looking down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait)
And see
People now, put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There's no other way
Put a little love in your heart
It's up to you
Put a little love in your heart
Come on and put a little love in your heart...
