In all seriousness, the negative business between two specific clans recently is a bit over dramatised. There is no hate from either side, nor is there any rationalised reasons why we would dislike one another. Individuals from each clan may have small issues with opposing clan members, however if these issues exist, these are personal issues.
I have known Alpha for several seasons now, occasionally hitting him on ladder when I used to frequently play SEA. I had nothing but admiration for him, as he was always well mannered and spoke his mind - qualities that I like to pride myself in.
I am making this post to show everyone that it's totally fine to make jokes about other people/teams, as long as they do not under any circumstances push any boundaries.
There are many members here that seem to think that this site is, by all means, a "circlejerk" in a sense. Popularity and skill reigns supreme, and any new members fall under the impression that in order to get ahead here or be relevant, you need to "suck up". This is excruciatingly painful to watch, as there are select members in the chat box that throw lovehearts after sentences and type in caps as soon as a moderately-well known personality comes online. This sort of behaviour is laughable, and encouraging it is deplorable.
There is nothing wrong with calling people out for being stupid. Constant threats of infractions and banhammers for telling someone how it is, even without malicious intent, seems totally unacceptable,. and it only pushes the goal of letting people suck-up to moderators and lesser personalities. There is a moral line here, though, where hopefully through your parent's parenting skills, you should be able to distinguish letting someone know they are acting childish from being a **** for fun.
I speak for myself personally when I say that I have, on numerous times, lost my temper in the chatbox at individuals and moderators. Luckily, I was never banned
Now, you may all be wondering, "why the **** would you go poorly photoshop a photo of Alpha?? He is gonna be so mad, you're fucked".
Nothing in the picture is offensive. At all. If you are one of the people that automatically jumped to the conclusion that I would be subject to any sort of repercussions because of this, then you are part of the problem. Everything in there is light-hearted and not direct. My point might seem a bit hazy, but the bottom line is that if you are easily offended, then you are most most likely contributing to the root of many problems involving "drama" on-site.
I chose Alpha specifically because a majority of the site knows about recent dramas, and it would help reinforce the thought that I could possibly be attempting to offend.
I am super aware that this blog is a bit of a vent in many ways, and it is, but I just felt like I needed to get my (terribly organised) thoughts out there. Any criticism or discussion is welcomed, and I would be happy to answer questions.
Haha it's funny. Someone asked alpha about the IXL crap today and he was, nah i like some of them like bearpack (and others i cant recall). So, meh, I got no problems with a little circlejerk from time to time. Shortizz, what you got against the circlejerk?
Needs more cleavage and less rappers though.

Nothing much, merely agreeing with him on his thoughts above. Nothing to do with the rest of the post about the clan drama etc.
