[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7377936"] Hatfield: "As soon as I kill one more McCoy, then we'll be even and we can talk about compromise..." Neither of us...in fact nobody on these forums...was part of that decision. So you didn't "meet me" more than halfway, and I didn't ask you to. On the other hand, I totally get that there's anger and resentment from that decision. That's human. But making that reaction the starting point for discussion is...non-productive? Yeah. They stated a goal, everybody interpreted that to mean what they thought it would mean, and not everybody got everything they wanted. Some of that might have been due to insincerity or their part, or a change of plans along the way, or simply unreasonable expectations from both sides. That happens. So...what are you going to do about it? Stew and seethe and make demands that will [I]never[/I] be met? Or start with a clean slate and try to design something that garners so much support, and so little opposition, that it becomes a meme* in the community and has a chance of becoming official? *In the Dawkins rather than the Reddit sense of the word.
