South African Unity and Prosperity
Hamilton Moore
I'm really trying to avoid getting involved in politics at the moment, but obviously there are two camps at the moment dealing with our current fun situation. Those who are keen to increase the tension and those who are trying to calm things down. I'm going to weigh in on the trying to calm things down.
Firstly:
Stop engaging with people who are clearly just trying to cause trouble or continue the conflict and stop trying to continue the conflict yourself.
1. Your means of engagement is the report button. If you can't report it because it isn't a reportable offence then PLEASE ignore it.
2. This means don't vote articles dealing with the conflict (even if they are trying to talk calmly about the situation). This needs to die in the media.
3. It means don't respond in comments to their articles (expect possibly to go FIRST! And then someone to go "Remember, do not engage." And then leave it alone - no more commenting, even if you have something clever and harsh to say. Just don't do it).
4. If they comment on your articles, again do not respond. If you feel you NEED to respond then say something like "In order to promote SA Unity I am not going to respond to trolling. I will only respond to relevant comments". And nothing else.
5. Stop writing articles about it! We're being spammed by negative articles and if everyone else is like me, it's getting everyone down. Seriously just let it lie.
Let me repeat that first point again now, just to be sure you got it:
Stop engaging with people who are clearly just trying to cause trouble or continue the conflict and stop trying to continue the conflict yourself.
Secondly:
Let's have a South African Unity and Prosperity Project!
I really believe we need something positive to work towards together as a nation at the moment. I'm not the president and I'm not even a member of congress (actually since my political party was PTO'd I'm not even a party member!) but I believe we need something positive to work towards. Be that fund raising to prepare for the Military Module coming alive (buying hospitals for instance), or a Housing for all project where we try organise to get a minimal house to every citizen or a new citizen recruitment project. Maybe we should be trying to get all eSA companies to sign up to PSA or something. Anyway let's come up with something to work on together and make it our South African Unity and Prosperity Project where we can work together to achieve it.
If anyone has some good ideas, please comment below and remember:
Stop engaging with people who are clearly just trying to cause trouble or continue the conflict and stop trying to continue the conflict yourself.
Thanks for reading eSA.

"Housing for all project where we try organise to get a minimal house to every citizen or a new citizen recruitment project"

p.s. Voted and Subbed
I agree.
Great article, Hamilton. I hope eSouth Africa finds unity and stands strong.
Looks like this country has alot of problems O.o
@ JP you are one - not do not engage her further
In order to promote SA Unity I am not going to respond to trolling. I will only respond to relevant comments.
You realise just by clicking the vote button on this we are voting up something that is calmly talking about the situation?
I found it ironic too, but it we vote it up more people will see it, and it will (hopefully) end the publicity of the conflict.
vooooottteeeeddd
