Thank you, preciousjeni. That clarifies a great deal.
Tnxbutterfly, I don't know that anyone has played the "my glo is better than yours" card - the "my glo is more multicultural/diverse card" has been played, but I believe at this point everything has simmered down. We need to be able to discuss issues if we are ever going to reach a point where we aren't constantly misunderstanding one another.
From my perspective it would just be nice to have our (NPC groups) efforts to be inclusive acknowedged, and not be subjected to this belief that we are all white glos. From yours, I imagine you would like to be taken as a glo who has more to offer than just a variety of races and cultures represented. The best way to achieve that goal is by dialogue, which is hampered when someone or some group feels disrespected.
So rather than just agree to disagree, I think we should ALL take the time to admire what we can about the other GLOs, and bear in mind that ultimately we are all interested in developing members of character. Is that fair?
