(For added awesomeness, please read the following in Morgan Freeman's voice)

I agree.

I liked how this thread started off about Ruby and Jaune, and the subtle flirting that may or may not have been going on between them when they first met. It was nice. It was innocent. It was a place where we fans could congregate and compare our ideas.

But alas, it was not to endure. The thread started to become corrupt, and pulled a tumblr/4chan and mutated into this vicious chimera-like monster we all see. I do believe we may have gone overboard here. We've started small scale flame wars the likes of which trolls everywhere have become envious of. We've gone so far off topic that there is not a single map, no matter how detailed, that could bring us back without complication. We've derailed this thread so hard that the locomotive industry is suing us for the loss of their business.

It is now the time to go back to how things should be. What started off as a thread about Ruby and Jaune has now become a thread about possible shippings, fanon shippings, and (confirmed?) canon shippings. We've gone from warships to flagships, from cargo ships to cruise liners. But we must all remember why we have gathered here. To support or deny the possible union that is Ruby and Jaune, Beacon Academies two most childlike leaders.

Whomever you may support, whatever ship you may have signed with, and what fate awaits you and your cruise ride to hell are beyond our measure to predict. All I can say is we must get back to doing what we devoted fans have gathered here to do! Be fans, and act like them. Stick with your ship, jump overbaord, or perform a mutiny. No matter your actions, we must be respectful to our shipmates.

I still stand proudly upon the Flagship S.S RubyXJaune, and I have no intentions of jumping ship any time soon. Why do I stick with this, you may ask? It is because this is the ship I believe in. I don't have the foolish notion that my ship is unsinkable. We all know that there is no ship in this world that cannot be sent to the bottom of the oceans. But I will still proudly support the shipping of Ruby and Jaune, even if it turns out to amount to naught.

So, I will leave you with this. Do you stand by your ship? Or does your heart waver? If your heart wavers, do not fear this development, embrace it. You may find the path you are looking for. Or you may reject it and strengthen your ideals. But let's keep this civil and go back to discussing our theories, hopes, dreams, and preferences to one another without the hate, fighting, and war that have torn us apart.
