And that will make one hell of a shield when they do show up at the door. We are united, in the way we think, the way we act and the way we express ourselves. That is our armor.Perhaps that will be our ace in the hole. As long as we stay united in our desire to learn the truths that are hidden in plain sight, we will stand. No power on earth can shatter a united front. Perhaps, if we can continue to resist the urge to find an oppressor, even where none exist, we can survive the attacks.
Here's a little secret: the titles at ATS, for the most part, held little meaning for those who wore them. They held meaning only in the mind of those who did not. That is why many who received titles quit posting as regularly: they did not want the power that other members gave them and felt as though they were no longer a part of the membership. I fought that myself. Maybe I was just not smart enough to let that win.
As Rogue Nation grows, some moderation will become necessary. There will be those who will come in to create chaos. The key will be in those with the titles defining themselves as a member, while acting as moderation. We, the membership in general, will need to realize that you are not our overlords as much as our friends acting in our best interests in ways we cannot.
I pray that works here. I see differences in the way moderation is approached. May those differences be enough.
