Thing is, the world isn't soft and cuddly. So why not scare off the ones who want a cuddly, convenience-based, hardship-free, fantasy world by cutting to the chase, saying what you mean, and sounding off like you've got a pair while you do it?

Glossing over issues never makes anyone any happier in the long haul, and generally leads to feelings of mutual deceit.

I agree that the world isn't soft and cuddly. But I was under the impression that this group was for support. Now that doesn't mean coddling, certainly, but I'm not sure that "scaring off" is necessarily the best approach either.

Also, I'm not sure if we're sticking with the rules that Terro posted on the first site (I noticed that they haven't been moved here yet - are they being revised?) but

Terro Wrote:Otherkin Phenomena is a site dedicated to the study of truth, whether it be the truth or our beliefs, or the truth of anything from an event to the meaning of life. It is the belief here that only through civil discussion ranging from brainstorming and sharing of ideas up to friendly debate that we can strip away the myths that come about as a result of any number of variables and discover the truth within.

And

Terro Wrote:This forum is predominantly placed here for support, as well as for learning

Frankly, I don't care what the subtitle of the forum winds up being. I do care, however, about supporting the stated goals of the forum.

Does this still stand or are there major upcoming changes?

Maybe something along the lines of "No Fluffiness and Role-Playing please."
