Guys, stone is not being rude to Ram. At least not anymore. He is not skirting around the issue that he doesn't like Ram, but he's not being rude to him.
This is why I said that Ram and Stone should do this in P Ms. Because if you have a personal problem with someone it should be worked out man to man.
If we just yell at stone about holding an opinion whether it be negative or not then no one is actually listening. It looks to me that stone is trying to give Ram a chance to explain himself and change that opinion.

There was no discussion or attempt at reconciliation. The problem still persists.
Stone was rude at the beginning of this, there's no doubt about that, but when he actually stopped that and tried to talk things out, you all essentially said "Shut up Stone. I don't care."
This would go somewhere if both sides made an attempt to understand each other. Which stone did, however you guys just shouted him down and made him drop the issue. This is the exact thing that we spent months talking about.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850No because quite frankly I just can't take this continuing to be a thing. Not after all the talks we had about this.
We continue to handle things like rabid dogs out for blood. There's no attempt to understand, its just "Be quite so we can go back to the status quo".
Problems don't get solved now, they're just violently shoved under the rug to fester until it resurfaces later.

One, we've already said we're gonna get this done on Wednesday.
And two, you know that thing I mentioned where no matter how right or wrong you are, if you say it like a dick people have a right to not listen to you? That applies here. Regardless of whether or not he had a good point, he should not have said what he did how he did.

i keep trying to think of something on my own but i keep hitting a wall
freezing the hole and plugging has shown to be ineffective, so there's no delaying the oncoming storm flood
so all everyone else can really do at this point is run
cloud, fen, millia rage, the barkeep, ges, and nova can presumably get over the slush like it's nothing, and, with the exception of cloud and the barkeep, can carry at least one other person
that makes for eleven peoplenote to carry and move out
there is also apparently something we can do with the branches
but unless the intention is to grab a bunch of them, stick them together, and patch it over the hole before everything is flooded over, i'm at a loss for what to do with them

Don't stop me now! I'm having such a good time!Here are some solutions I have thought of off the top of my head.
- Have Cloud/others freeze the water now that it is no longer pouring down above them, so they can stand.
- The water is moving fast but it is shallow. Prop up the branches in the mud so the group can cling to them for a bit.
- Make a shitty raft. (Perhaps aided by Giorno? I'm not too sure on how his powers work.)

He stopped being mean though that's the point. He stopped saying things like a dick and restated his problem in a way that was much more constructive.
But no one cared about that. You only continued to try to get him to shut up. And I have a problem with that.

Stone, it's a matter of tact to be courteous to other people. Even when you don't really like the other person.
I don't care if you don't like me. All I ask is that you're polite to me.
