I could just be weird though. |
I had a similar experience though from the other side. In one of the RP Groups I'm in, on Early Tuesday morning, a Group Notice was sent from the Group owner, who is not a resident of the US at all"Recommending" everyone vote for Obama, and giving her reasons why. A few people, myself included expressed how we felt it was inappropriate in group chat. Then last night another officer sent out another notice celebrating the Obama Victory with another bit pf proselytizing. THEN The owner comes buck with a defensive I'm sorry if "I offended anybody but" memo stating in essence that even though she isn't an American, the election has an effect on the entire world, *tru* and how even though it may be a SciFi RP Group, we shouldn't be burying our heads in the sand, World Events, and she was just voicing her opinion...bla bla bla.
Well, first off, my opinion would be the same no matter who won the election, but I was offended, and felt that was inappropriate to do one "Official Stationary" Maybe it's me, but joining a Science Fiction Roleplaying Group is wanting to eacape RL events for a little while. Goddamnit!! What's the point of coming to
SL if RL is going to keep being thrown up at you?
I haven't made up my mind yet, but my instinct is to leave the group, with a full explanation why. I apologize in advance to everyone here but I especially felt that a non American "recommending" who I should vote for is just a bit arrogant for my taste. I would NEVER say such a thing to a resident of another country.
End of rant.
