Once upon a time I used to believe that adults were reasonable and intelligent people, I was a child then ofc. I then became adult and realised that many so called 'grown ups' are a long was from reasonable or mature in their opinions and behaviours.
Then I discovered EU... and my opinion of adult was revised yet again,, not all bad, just I realise when reading posts especially in this forum, just how much effort some people put into negativity, refusing change, failure to consider any position except their own, pure unadulterated selfishness.
Fortunately this is balanced at the polar opposite by bright intelligent people who write coherently and with proper consideration for the thoughts of others as well as potential benefits of ideas, rather than burying their heads in the sand.
Constructive criticism is a good thing, we can all learn if we stop, read, consider, consider alternatives and benefits, and then, only then, react.
Problem with burying your head in the sand, is your ass is now facing upwards, and makes you a wonderful target.
The sign of a true adult in my very personal opinion, and feel free to disagree, is to understand risk, to understand the need for solutions and most importantly to understand their is absolutely nothing wrong with compromise. Life is not about polar opposites, things are not black or white, they are a multitude of greys.
So please MA consider
all that has been written here, both for and against the idea of linking forum name to avatar name, consider the risk, solutions etc and give us a reasonable, simple and easy to follow solution. Any improvement to reducing the number of alts and ex players who no longer contribute to the game, yet feel free to stir shit on here, has to be good for all.
Some communications from you on the pros and cons would be nice too
