Everyone goes around here saying "Oh you're causing so much drama! Ugh!" when really...is it even drama in the first place? There are several lively, harmless debates that go on here and they get shut down for "causing drama".

What is drama exactly?

dra·ma

[drah-muh, dram-uh]  noun any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interest or results: the drama of a murder trial. I say, drama is what happens here when someone causes a huge discussion and emotional outbursts and it is meant to hurt someone's feelings or offend them. Of course, you can accidentally do this too, but drama is drama. This is for example, when those people pretended to be Candi, Ginny pretended to be me, when Nan/MJ/Picklez fought about gay rights, that whole religion thing, or small fights like the one I fought with Ro a while ago and me and Candi through pm (both are worked out. <:), and SEVERAL others. But if we want to argue about fans/copiers/star beggars, that is not drama! Is it meant to hurt each other's feelings? No, 'course not! We just want each other's opinions and to see each other's point of view on a certain subject. I say, by all means, go for it! It is healthy and good for your brain to debate. You can develop an analytical mind, and see different sides of a matter you never saw before. This is a debate right here. Am I trying to be rude to anyone, hurt anyone's feelings, or cause stress in one's life? No, I'm not. Maybe try and analyze a situation before you call it drama, because then that causes more drama, well, actually debating, but still, don't put labels on something without actually processing it. You can't label two cans "tomato soup" and "butternut squash bisque" with your eyes closed, can you? So please, don't try and shut something down when it is just a friendly debate. Maybe, instead, leave it alone, or take part and share your (non-offensive) opinions with your friends and others! :)
