I have come to a miraculous conclusion over the past few weeks:

Immaturity is a disease, and Fiction Press is its host. Or at least the Essay section is.

This "war", which I choose to call it solely on the basis that that is what everyone seems to know it as, has ended. Or at least I was under the impression that it was, or rather that everyone involved wanted it to be.

For those of you who were unaware of this, maybe the chronological disappearance of myself, my "clone(s)", Raptor and the like would have been a halfway decent hint. However it seems as though many people just can't help but beat a dead horse, and are continuing a battle that has long since ended.

I think the only true way to solve the problem at hand is to look at it in the simplest of terms possible.

Raptor7435 wrote a fan fiction and put it here, where it doesn't belong, but refuses to remove it on his own. Due to his continuous battling with the rest of you all things got out of hand, and it took a good two or three months to get where it is now.

Folks, Raptor is not going to stop writing his story, nor is he planning on taking it off fiction press anytime soon. If the administration finally gets around to getting rid of it then G-D bless them, but if they don't there really truly isn't anything else any of us can do anymore.

If this continues then we truly are succumbing to immaturity as we feed of this host of essays and fake reviews and everything else that just continues to be added to this pot of obscurity that the Essay Section is starting to become. I mean honestly, and I know I am contributing to this by writing this piece, so you don't have to tell me in your reviews, I can no longer tell what is an essay versus what is a rant or an attempt to demean another author hidden beneath a fancy title anymore and I'm starting to get sick of it.

Raptor, you're doing the right thing but emailing the people who have had to deal with your fake reviews. But beyond that let this die, don't fight back.

Everyone else, you honestly need to find another hobby, if you can't write for writings sake, but must write simply to attack other people, then maybe this website, or at least the essay section, is not for you.

Also, before I get any more unnecessary reviews, this does not apply to the review sections of this website, I cannot control what I, or others write in the moments following reading another's work. I have come to terms with this and am done trying to voice my opinions on the matter.

So yes, this is short, yes, this is a rant, and yes, this is my own continuation of the one thing I'd like to see die more then Michael Jackson, but, at the same time, I am saying this because the whole thing has been and is still so extremely immature that I just wish we could all let it go.

Alright?

Because I'm really tired of being so goddamn disappointed all the time
