So, the recent weirdness in the Uru community has had the unusual effect of actually starting to heal some rifts rather than cause them. I'm all for that. I'm still not letting my guard down in certain quarters though. While I'm fine with hatchet burrying, I'm not to 'trust', by any strech. Especially when the assessment that people in my 'lifestyle' are selfish 'me-first' people, and that sort of additude is the cause of the community's problems is still pinned for all to see. Sugar-coat it and generalize it (after the fact) all they want, that was a direct accusation, and a direct insult.

Don't let the negative thoughts take you down, Eleri... let the good stuff lift you up instead.
There's way more good stuff anyhow! I'm still on a buzz from Mysterium
From mszv -
What a sad, but not suprising comment for someone to make.
Many, not all but many long time Myst game series "avid" fans are conservative US Christians, of the evangelical or fundamentalist bent. Yes, I know, not all evangelical Christians are of a deeply conservative/traditional bent, but in this new era, so many of them are. It's also not a particularly multicultural crowd. There are, of course, exceptions, but this is something I've noticed over the years. Hey, don't you remember some of the objections that some people had to snakes being in Myst IV (you know, sign of the devil, can't have that!). That hysteria over the so called "pagan" elements in Myst IV - another trip!
I personally think it's a tribute to you that you've made such a great impact on the community, and have been willing to engage in a discussion with members of the community on such issues.
As always, I hope that Uru Live, being an online game, attracts new members to the community who are not like that. I'd like to see more different sorts of people rise in prominence in the community.
