friend from wind told me the gentle reprimanding and more positivity part happened in their discord as well, just... after the fact. so i hope they learn a lesson for the future from this. wind is very new to the realm of dom related drama because they hardly ever got any in the past, they probably weren't sure how to manage it well. experience, i suppose.
i think overall the damage control from dom leads is a complicated thing... some people demand it and shit on leaders for not saying anything, others shit on them when they do try to do something about it for taking the bait or whatever. i think selah would have gotten crap no matter what they did in this situation, just not directly if they hadn't revealed their name.
as for your support - a solo push like this is definitely more relaxed, but in a heated battle, every dragon counts! as someone who does attend to pbs, i can promise you that even if someone has a brief whine about getting swamped, the flight appreciates all the support in the long run.
i appreciate you being civil as well, i'm glad we can discuss it like this.
gosh i really feel the dom is emotions thing haha. its like you cant walk two battles without tripping over some drama... and it still astounds me that there's so *much* drama surrounding dom? even though i really shouldn't be surprised, considering the amount of people on the site
i do agree that its almost always a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' scenario... but in my honest opinion, better to keep your mouth closed lest you shove a foot in it and give people ammo to use against you / your flight (which will happen no matter what)
i dont have anything against any of the people involved /personally/, which is why i didnt participate upthread (especially after it was getting particularly nasty) and i wish them well + hope they learned a lesson or two to take back to mama, but something as rash as stepping down feels a bit too far to me. to fix your mistakes, you don't run! you stay, and show people you've changed
some people actively look for drama, unfortunately, and then shit like this happens. if you want drama and there's none, you make it. when it comes to wind specifically, shoutout to them for their battles against earth/arcane/lightning being calm and friendly, but some other flights get shit flung their way every time they breathe a bit louder (isn't that right, light/plague) and it's just sad to watch.
like i said, i hope wind learns a lesson from this and shit like that doesn't happen to them again. wind friend told me selah got support and hopefully they just treat this as experience and don't step down.
