My fellow furries, I am deeply disappointed in all of you.

to lower your standards as to cling to someone else's drama as if you were directly involved (most likely, YOU ARE NOT) saddens me. there is another word for what we call 'drama' and that word is: Gossip

gos·sip -noun- \ˈgä-səp\
: information about the behavior and personal lives of other people
: information about the lives of famous people
: a person who often talks about the private details of other people's lives
-Merriam Webster Dictionary

Gossip is like dumped oil, it's difficult to wash off yet so easy to spread around, as illustrated on the cover of a mormonad from october of 1982 http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articl.....ass-it-on.html
What surprises me about the latest round of drama is that the story has been heard before! no less than TWO YEARS AGO!

I'm already familiar with the story and had no desire to be a part of it. To quote Eleanor Roosevelt: "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." why am I throwing myself into the ring? I'm doing so in the hope that you, the reader of this journal entry, will hear my small portion of wisdom on the matter of Gossip in that you are better off without it.

Gossip yields no positive outcome for anyone
Gossip only brings stress, discomfort, negative emotion and negative feelings.
Gossip can be ignored.

The link above is an article that revisits an often taught lesson during sunday school within the LDS church. It's also one of the few lessons I took with me upon leaving the LDS church. Regardless of your religous views, I encourage you to read it.

Please to spread this message in your own way. Maybe when the next wave of 'furry drama' rolls around, regardless of site, the attention it gets can be reduced. This will only happen if you do your part.

Goodnight FA, see you tomorrow.
